ABSTRACT:
A monitoring system capable of monitoring utilization of a processing device in a computer. The monitoring system includes a power supply voltage for supplying a core voltage to the processing device, and a comparator for comparing a voltage proportional to the core voltage to a reference voltage and producing a sense voltage. The resulting sense voltage is used to control a processing device management process, or alternatively may be used to control a variety of other processes including cooling fan operation.
