    Abstract: Embodiments are described for a method of reducing power consumption in source synchronous bus systems by reducing signal transitions in the system. Instead of sending clock and data valid signals, only the start and end of valid data packets are marked by clock signal transitions, or only a number of clock pulses that corresponds to number of data words is sent, or only a number transitions on clock signals are sent. The clock signal transitions may comprise either clock pulses or exclusively rising edge or falling edge transitions of the clock signal.

    Abstract: Embodiments are described for a method and system of enabling updates from a clock controller to be sent directly to a predictive synchronizer to manage instant changes in frequency between transmit and receive clock domains, comprising receiving receive and transmit reference frequencies from a phase-locked loop circuit, receiving receive and transmit constant codes from a controller coupled to the phase-locked loop circuit, obtaining a time delay factor to accommodate phase detection between the transmit and receive clock domains, and calculating new detection interval and frequency information using the time delay factor, the reference frequencies, and the constant codes.

    Abstract: As a processor enters selected low-power modes, a cache is flushed of data by writing data stored at the cache to other levels of a memory hierarchy. The flushing of the cache allows the size of the cache to be reduced without suffering an additional performance penalty of writing the data at the reduced cache locations to the memory hierarchy. Accordingly, when the cache exits the selected low-power modes, it is sized to a minimum size by setting the number of ways of the cache to a minimum number. In response to defined events at the processing system, a cache controller changes the number of ways of each set of the cache.

    Abstract translation: 当处理器进入选择的低功耗模式时,通过将存储在高速缓存中的数据写入存储器层次结构的其他级别来缓冲数据。 高速缓存的刷新允许减小高速缓存的大小,而不会在将减少的高速缓存位置处的数据写入存储器层次结构方面带来额外的性能损失。 因此,当高速缓存退出所选择的低功率模式时,通过将高速缓存的路数设置为最小数量,将其设置为最小大小。 响应于处理系统处的定义的事件,高速缓存控制器改变每组高速缓存的路数。

    Abstract: A size of a cache of a processing system is adjusted by ways, such that each set of the cache has the same number of ways. The cache is a set-associative cache, whereby each set includes a number of ways. In response to defined events at the processing system, a cache controller changes the number of ways of each set of the cache. For example, in response to a processor core indicating that it is entering a period of reduced activity, the cache controller can reduce the number of ways available in each set of the cache.

    Abstract: A power grid provides power to one or more modules of an integrated circuit device via a virtual power supply signal. A test module is configured to respond to assertion of a test signal so that, when the power grid is working properly and is not power gated, an output of the test module matches the virtual power supply. When the power grid is not working properly, the output of the test module is a fixed logic signal that does not vary based on the power gated state of the one or more modules.
