Machine intelligence performance boost with energy reservoir

Abstract:

Control of power supplied to a machine intelligence (MI) processor is provided with an energy reservoir and power switching circuitry coupled to a power supply, the energy reservoir, and to power delivery circuitry of the MI processor. Control circuitry directs the power switching circuitry to charge the energy reservoir from the power supply or discharge the energy reservoir to the MI processor based on MI state information obtained from the MI processor. Processes for charging and discharging such an energy reservoir are provided. Processes for analyzing state information of the MI processor and configuring the control circuitry are also provided.
