“…Regarding the error-free approaches, researchers employ deterministic timing prediction techniques that identify the requirements of processor paths, and, thus, they do not allow any timing errors to occur. Prior works often utilize adaptive clocking mechanisms that dynamically lower the clock frequency in real-time [20] to improve the power efficiency of the system [19]. In Reference [6] authors propose a technique that adapts the clock frequency in runtime to mitigate the effects of high-frequency supply voltage droops and to prevent timing errors.…”

“…Combined with a critical path monitoring mechanism, researchers achieve voltage scaling when the critical path is not excited while using the available timing margin as a guardband mechanism. Another work utilizes a unary coding scheme to enable the PLL to quickly adapt to the required clock changes in real time [82]. This approach can be applied on a single core clock to enable its dynamic frequency change without imposing significant delays.…”

“…We adopt this approach as we acknowledge the need for a robust real time clock scaling mechanism. In contrast with [82] and [83] which manage to change the clock frequency for up to 7.5% of the core clock speed, we require much higher adaptation values. For that reason we do not change the clock frequency directly, instead we pre-generate the number of PLLs required and we proceed in selecting the appropriate candidate each time.…”
