Various embodiments include methods and systems for providing sleep clock edge-based global counter synchronization in a multiple-chiplet system. A system-on-a-chip (SoC) may include a first chiplet including a first chiplet global counter subsystem, and a second chiplet including a second chiplet global counter subsystem. The SoC may further include an interface bus communicatively coupling the first chiplet and the second chiplet, and a power management integrated circuit (PMIC) configured to supply a sleep clock to the first chiplet and the second chiplet. The first chiplet may be configured to transmit a global counter synchronization pulse trigger to the second chiplet across the interface bus. The second chiplet may be configured to load a global counter synchronization value into the second chiplet global counter subsystem at a sleep clock synchronization edge of the sleep clock in response to receiving the global counter synchronization pulse trigger.

The disclosed computing device may include electronic components, at least one of which is a processor. The computing device may also include a heat sink thermally coupled to the electronic components, as well as a temperature sensor that determines the current temperature inside the computing device. The computing device may further include a controller. The processor may generate a load schedule for the electronic components based on the current temperature inside the computing device. This load schedule ensures that a maximum temperature for the heat sink is not exceeded even when the total system power load exceeds, for a short period of time, the maximum sustainable power level the heat sink can dissipate. The controller may then load the electronic components according to the generated load schedule. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

A power management controller is disclosed. Broadly speaking, the controller may, in response to receiving a timing signal, monitor a temperature of an integrated circuit including multiple processor clusters. The controller may generate a comparison of the temperature and a threshold value, and in response to a determination that the comparison indicates that the temperature is less than the threshold value, transition a particular processor cluster to a new power state.

Systems and methods for improving power efficiency of electronic systems are disclosed. An intelligent voltage regulator module (VRM) can self-regulate the output power provided to one or more components of an electronic system. For example, output voltage to a component can be increased when more computational power is needed or lowered when appropriate. The intelligent VRM can regulate the output power, for instance, based on one or more of usage or activity of the component. In some cases, the intelligent VRM can independently regulate the output power without input from a host device or override one or more output power parameters. Adjustment of the output power can be performed using machine learning (ML).
