Configuration of base clock frequency of processor based on usage parameters

Abstract:

A processing device includes a plurality of processing cores, a control register, associated with a first processing core of the plurality of processing cores, to store a first base clock frequency value at which the first processing core is to run, and a power management circuit to receive a base clock frequency request comprising a second base clock frequency value, store the second base clock frequency value in the control register to cause the first processing core to run at the second base clock frequency value, and expose the second base clock frequency value on a hardware interface associated with the power management circuit.
