ABSTRACT:
An apparatus includes a hardware unit having an interface to a clock generator, an interface to a power supply and an interface to a software unit. The interface to the software unit is configurable to receive a request from the software unit that identifies at least one operating point for the apparatus. The hardware unit is operable to control at least one of the clock generator and the power supply so as to achieve the requested operating point.
