ABSTRACT:
A system for regulating power in a mobile electronics device uses "hint" NOP instructions having a reserved field of bits that generate control signals to affect an increase or decrease in power dissipation. The control signals raise or lower the operating potential provided by a power supply and also adjust the frequency of a clock signal in accordance with the information provided by the NOP instruction. Power is reduced for code sequences that could be executed more slowly, or the device is otherwise idle, without affecting the user's perception of overall system performance.
