Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 4:
5. A method, comprising:
monitoring, by a software-based activity monitor of an integrated circuit, data obtained from a component of the integrated circuit, wherein the software-based activity monitor is implemented using programming instructions executing on a first portion of the integrated circuit;
determining, by the software-based activity monitor, a modification to a throttling criteria used by a hardware-based activity monitor based on the monitored data, wherein the hardware-based activity monitor is implemented on a second portion of the integrated circuit, and wherein the hardware-based activity monitor uses the throttling criteria to evaluate processing performed on a third portion of the integrated circuit and to modify, according to the evaluation, a rate at which data enters the third portion of the integrated circuit for processing; and
applying, by the software-based activity monitor, the modification to the throttling criteria used by the hardware-based activity monitor.
