    Abstract: A dispatch module implemented in at least one of a memory or a processing device is operatively coupled to multiple processing modules, each having a first clock configuration and a second clock configuration. The dispatch module, at a first time, changes a first processing module included in the multiple processing modules from a first clock configuration to a second clock configuration. The dispatch module prohibits, at a second time within a predetermined time period and after the first time, a second processing module included in the multiple processing modules from changing from the first clock configuration to the second clock configuration if an indicator associated with a number of changes of the multiple processing modules between a first clock configuration and a second clock configuration within the predetermined time period and prior to the second time satisfies a criterion.

    Abstract: A dispatch module implemented in at least one of a memory or a processing device is operatively coupled to a first processing module and a second processing module. The first processing module has a priority higher than a priority of the second processing module. The dispatch module includes a workload counter associated with the first processing module to provide an indication of a workload at the first processing module. The dispatch module initiates a clock signal at the second processing module only if the indication of the workload at the first processing module satisfies a criterion. The dispatch module sends a data unit to the second processing module for processing only if the indication of the workload at the first processing module satisfies a criterion.
