1. A system for network communications, comprising:
an interface configured to receive job requests relating to data processing associated to data transmitted over a network communication;
a plurality of processing engines (“PEs”) coupled to the interface, wherein each of the plurality of PEs includes a power circuit for controlling power utilization during data processing;
a job manager coupled to the plurality of PEs and configured to have a power managing element for providing signals to activate at least one of the plurality of PEs for processing at least a portion of the data; and
a baseband processor containing a multi-functional element for facilitating power conservation.
