Embodiments relate to a system, program product, and method for proactively initiating throttle action on one or more cores in a multicore processing device to mitigate voltage droop therein. The method includes determining, in real-time, an indication of stall events within the core and determining one or more resolutions of the stall events. The method also includes determining, in real-time, a timing margin value for the core and predicting inducement of a voltage droop on the core. The method further includes integrating the resolutions of the stall events and the timing margin value for the core, determining, subject to the predicting, a throttle action for the core, and executing the throttle action on the core.

One embodiment provides a system and method for predicting network power usage associated with workloads. During operation, the system configures a simulator to simulate operations of a plurality of network components, which comprises embedding one or more event counters in each simulated network component. A respective event counter is configured to count a number of network-power-related events. The system collects, based on values of the event counters, network-power-related performance data associated with one or more sample workloads applied to the simulator; and trains a machine-learning model with the collected network-power-related performance data and characteristics of the sample workloads as training data 1, thereby facilitating prediction of network-power-related performance associated with a to-be-evaluated workload.

An example non-transitory machine-readable medium includes instructions that, when executed by a controller, cause the controller to detect an emergency throttling event of a central processing unit (CPU) of a computing device, and, if the CPU has undergone fewer than a threshold number of emergency throttling events, increase a current maximum power limit of the CPU to an increased maximum power limit.

An electronic system for a surgical instrument is disclosed. The electronic system comprises a main power supply circuit configured to supply electrical power to a primary circuit. A supplementary power supply circuit configured to supply electrical power to a secondary circuit. A short circuit protection circuit coupled between the main power supply circuit and the supplementary power supply circuit. The supplementary power supply circuit is configured to isolate itself from the main power supply circuit when the supplementary power supply circuit detects a short circuit condition at the secondary circuit. The supplementary power supply circuit is configured to rejoin the main power supply circuit and supply power to the secondary circuit, when the short circuit condition is remedied.

An aspect of the present invention is a voltage supply device including: a controller which outputs a signal indicating any one bus voltage determined by negotiation among a plurality of bus voltages from a power supply circuit to an external device; a reference voltage generation unit which generates a reference voltage corresponding to the signal; a detection voltage output unit which detects the bus voltage and outputs a detection voltage; a comparison unit which compares the detection voltage with the reference voltage; and a switch unit which switches the supply state of the bus voltage to the external device in response to the comparison result.

A battery management system of a battery apparatus includes a circuit to which a voltage from a power supply is supplied and configured to be used to manage the battery pack. A processor of the battery management system controls the circuit, measure a voltage supplied from the power supply, and corrects the measured voltage based on a voltage drop occurred in the circuit.

A dynamic peak power management system may prevent brownouts while improving performance and user experience compared to conventional techniques. A current threshold may be set below the maximum current capability (Imax) of a battery. If the current drawn from the battery exceeds the current threshold repeatedly, then system components may be throttled to decrease their peak power usage. If the current drawn from the battery stays below the current threshold for some time, then system components may be unthrottled to improve performance. This dynamic adaptable technique for managing peak power does not unnecessarily sacrifice performance by preemptively throttling system components to avoid the rare worst-case scenario where power spikes of system components perfectly align in time.

Techniques are disclosed regulating an amount of power consumed by a server from a set of power supplies in which at least one power supply of the set is inactive. The power to a server, upon detecting that at least one power supply is inactive, is restricted based on a degree to which a power threshold value for the remaining power supplies is exceeded. The applied power reduction may be based on a proportion of a measurement interval during which an alert signal is received. The longer the alert signal is received by the system, the more server power consumption is reduced.
