Detailed Description

The energy controller is a device being used to manage power and energy related control operations within the system.

It provides the necessary software interface to the kernel. The kernel will require gem5 specific drivers to access this device.

Tasks handled by the controller are: a) Dynamic voltage and frequency scaling control operations

Note that the registers defined do not resemble any specific controller device in real hardware. They are currently design to accomodate the gem5 system requirements.
