摘要:
Circuits and methods align an internal signal with an external signal. A phase lock loop network receives the external signal to generate phase lock loop signals. A programmable ratio decoder provides a code. An alignment unit generates the internal signal based on at least one of the phase lock loop signals. The alignment unit aligns internal signal with the external signal based on the code.

摘要:
According to one embodiment of the invention, an integrated circuit device at least one compute engine and a control unit. Coupled to the compute engine(s), the control unit is adapted to dynamically control an energy-efficient operating setting of at least one power management parameter for the integrated circuit device after execution of Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) has already completed.
摘要:
A device and method for continually monitoring multiple thermal sensors located at hotspots across a processor. The sensors are connected to a sensor cycling and selection block located at a periphery of the die. The output from the sensor selection block is converted into a digital temperature code. Based on the digital temperature code, thermal events trigger various thermal controls. The thermal event triggers may be software-programmable, providing flexible temperature management.
摘要:
A processor may determine the actual residency time of a non-core domain residing in a power saving state and based on the actual residency time the processor may determine an optimal power saving state (P-state) for the processor. In response to the non-core domain entering a power saving state, an interrupt generator (IG) may generate a first interrupt and the device drivers or an operating system may use the first interrupt to start a timer (first value). In response to the non-core domain exiting the power saving state, the IG may generate a second interrupt and the device drivers or an operating system may use the second interrupt to stop the timer (final value). The power management unit may use the final and the first value to determine the actual residency time.
