1. A system comprising:
an integrated circuit comprising programmable logic configurable to perform a first workload and a monitoring circuit, wherein the integrated circuit is configurable to perform a processing operation based on a configuration memory configurable to store a first bitstream; and
a host device configurable to:
receive sensed data from the monitoring circuit while the integrated circuit performs the first workload;
determine power headroom based on the sensed data; and
determine to cause the integrated circuit to enter a turbo processing mode based on the power headroom.
