power managed component (power management) (PMC)
Energy saving systems(ECS) control the power required by the processors via various parameters such as the operating voltage and the clock frequency.
The prerequisite for all energy-saving techniques is that they involve special processors whose parameters can be controlled, so-called Power Managed Components (PMC). The PMC processors can be controlled by software, and their operating points can be set depending on the various parameters, predictions and estimates.
