Abstract:

In an example, there is disclosed a demand scaling engine, including: a processor interface to communicatively couple to a processor; a network controller interface to communicatively couple to a network controller and to receive network demand data; a scaleup criterion; a current processor frequency scale datum; and logic, provided at least partly in hardware, to: receive the network demand data; compare the network demand data to the scaleup criterion; determine that the network demand data exceeds the scaleup criterion; and instruct the processor via the processor interface to scaleup processor frequency.
