System and method of compensating for the effects of on-chip processing variation on an integrated circuit

摘要

A system and method of compensating for effects of on-chip processing variation on an integrated circuit. The integrated circuit is divided into a set of regions. Then, a region control logic, included in each region, predicts a processing variation in each respective region of the integrated circuit. Finally, each region control logic automatically selects one of a set of available power settings to power each one of the respective regions, in response to the region control logic predicting the processing variation, wherein the processing variation of each of the set of regions is minimized.
