Abstract:
Disclosed embodiments relate to processing logic for performing function operations. In one example, and apparatus includes an execution unit within a processor to execute a code block, power management hardware coupled to the execution unit, wherein the power management hardware is to monitor a first execution of the code block, store a micro-architectural context of the processor in a metadata block associated with the code block, the micro-architectural context including performance data resulting from the first execution of the code block, the performance data comprising power and energy usage data, and power management related parameters, read the associated metadata block upon a second execution of the code block, and tune the second execution based on the performance data stored in the associated metadata block to increase efficiency of executing the code block.
