    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for implementing dynamic clock control to increase stutter efficiency in a memory subsystem are disclosed. A system includes at least a processor, a memory, and a communication fabric coupled to the processor and memory. The system implements a stutter mode for a first region of the fabric, with stutter mode including an idle state and an active state. Stutter efficiency is defined as the idle time divided by the sum of the active time and the idle time. Reducing the exit latency of going from the idle state to the active state increases the stutter efficiency which increases the power savings achieved by implementing the stutter mode. Since the phase-locked loop (PLL) is one of the main contributors to the exit latency, the PLL is powered down and one or more bypass clocks are provided during the stutter mode.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method and system for securing a performance state change of one or more processors. A disclosed method includes detecting a request to change a current performance state of a processor to a target performance state, and adjusting an operating level tolerance range of the current performance state to include operating levels associated with a transition from the current performance state to the target performance state. A disclosed system includes an operating system module operative to transmit a request for a performance state change of at least one processing core. The system includes performance state control logic operative to change the performance state of the at least one processing core based on the request. The system further includes performance state security logic operative to adjust, in response to the request, an operating level tolerance range of the current performance state to include operating levels associated with a transition from the current performance state to the target performance state.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method and system for securing a performance state change of one or more processors. A disclosed method includes intercepting a request for a change of a performance state of the processor and determining whether to execute the request based on a security condition of the processor. The performance state of the processor includes at least one of an operating voltage and an operating frequency. A disclosed system includes an operating system module operative to transmit a request for a performance state change of at least one processing core. The system includes performance state control logic in communication with the operating system module and operative to receive the request and to change the performance state of the at least one processing core based on the request. The computing system further includes performance state security logic operative to intercept the request transmitted from the operating system module to the performance state control logic and to selectively transmit the request to the performance state control logic based on a security condition of the computing system.
