20100087964ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD DETERMINING A WORKLOAD OF AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE - An electronic device is provided with at least one functional unit (HB) performing a processing, wherein the functional unit (HB) receives a supply current (Isupply). A supply current monitor (SCM) is provided for monitoring the supply current (Isupply) to determine an average supply current (Iavg). A characterization unit (CU) is provided for determining a first relation between the averaged supply current (Iavg) and an operation frequency of the functional unit and/or for determining a second relation between a workload of the functional unit (HB) and the average supply current (Iavg) of the functional unit (HB). Furthermore, a slope calculation unit (SCU) is provided for determining the slope of the first and/or second relation. The operation of the functional unit (HB) is controlled according to the results of the slope calculation unit (SCU).04-08-2010

20090083500MEMORY CONTROLLER AND METHOD FOR COUPLING A NETWORK AND A MEMORY - A memory controller (SMC) is provided the for coupling a memory (MEM) to a network (N). The network (N) comprises at least one network interface (PCIEI) having network interface buffers (TPB, FCB) for implementing a flow control across the network (N). The memory controller (SMC) comprises a buffer managing unit (BMU) for managing the buffering of data from the network (N) to exchange data with the memory (MEM) in bursts. The buffer managing unit (BMU) furthermore monitors the network interface buffers (TPB, FCB) in order to determine whether sufficient data is present in the network interface buffers (FCB) such that a burst of data can be written to the memory (MEM) and whether sufficient space is available in the network interface buffers (TPB) such that a burst of data from the memory (MEM) can be buffered in the network interface buffers (TPB). The buffer managing unit (BMU) controls the access to the memory (MEM) according to according to the data and/or space in the network interface buffers (FCB, TPB).03-26-2009
