    Abstract: A data processor includes a data fabric, a memory controller, a last level cache, and a traffic monitor. The data fabric is for routing requests between a plurality of requestors and a plurality of responders. The memory controller is for accessing a volatile memory. The last level cache is coupled between the memory controller and the data fabric. The traffic monitor is coupled to the last level cache and operable to monitor traffic between the last level cache and the memory controller, and based on detecting an idle condition in the monitored traffic, to cause the memory controller to command the volatile memory to enter self-refresh mode while the last level cache maintains an operational power state and responds to cache hits over the data fabric.

    Abstract: A computer vision processor in an image cluster defines a fenced memory region (FMR) that controls access to image data stored in a first portion of a trusted memory region (TMR). The computer vision processor receives FMR requests from an application implemented in a processing cluster. The FMR requests are to access the image data in the first portion of the TMR. The computer vision processor selectively allows the requesting application to access the image data. In some cases, the computer vision processor acquires the image data and stores the image data in the first portion of the TMR, such as buffers in the TMR. A data fabric selectively permits the image processing application to access the data stored in the TMR based on whether the image cluster has opened or closed the FMR for the portion of the TMR.

    Abstract: A system has a plurality of electronic components including a memory, a PHY coupled to the memory, and one or more other electronic components. Power consumed by the PHY is estimated during operation of the system. Estimating the power consumed by the PHY includes modeling the power consumed by the PHY as a linear function with respect to memory bandwidth. Available power for the PHY is determined based at least in part on the estimated power consumed by the PHY. At least a portion of the available power for the PHY is allocated to at least one of the one or more other components.

    Abstract: The disclosed device includes multiple processing component, and a cache. One of the processing components can be instructed to avoid allocating to the cache and another of the processing components can be allowed use the cache while reducing accessing a memory. The memory can then enter a low power state in response to an idle state of the memory from the processing components avoiding accessing the memory for a period of time. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

    Abstract: A system for providing system level sleep state power savings includes a plurality of memory channels and corresponding plurality of memories coupled to respective memory channels. The system includes one or more processors operative to receive information indicating that a system level sleep state is to be entered and in response to receiving the system level sleep indication, moves data stored in at least a first of the plurality of memories to at least a second of the plurality of memories. In some implementations, in response to moving the data to the second memory, the processor causes power management logic to shut off power to: at least the first memory, to a corresponding first physical layer device operatively coupled to the first memory and to a first memory controller operatively coupled to the first memory and place the second memory in a self-refresh mode of operation.

    Abstract: An electronic device includes a memory; a plurality of clients; at least one arbiter circuit; and a management circuit. A given client of the plurality of clients communicates a request to the management circuit requesting an allocation of memory access bandwidth for accesses of the memory by the given client. The management circuit then determines, based on the request, a set of memory access bandwidths including a respective memory access bandwidth for each of the given client and other clients of the plurality of clients that are allocated memory access bandwidth. The management circuit next configures the at least one arbiter circuit to use respective memory access bandwidths from the set of memory access bandwidths for the given client and the other clients for subsequent accesses of the memory.
