    Abstract: A single communication fabric for a data processing apparatus is provided. The fabric has an interconnection network to provide a topology of data communication channels between a plurality of data-handling functional units. The interconnection network has a first interconnection domain to provide data communication between a first subset of the data-handling functional units and a second interconnection domain to provide data communication between a second subset of the data-handling functional units. The power management circuitry is arranged to control a first performance level for the first interconnection domain independently from control of a second performance level for the second interconnection domain. Machine readable instructions and a method are provided to concurrently set performance levels of two different fabric domains to respective different operating frequencies.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus comprises a first die that includes: a die-to-die adapter comprising a plurality of first registers, the die-to-die adapter to communicate with protocol layer circuitry via a flit-aware die-to-die interface (FDI) and physical layer circuitry via a raw die-to-die interface (RDI), wherein the die-to-die adapter is to receive message information of a first interconnect protocol; and the physical layer circuitry coupled to the die-to-die adapter, the physical layer circuity comprising a plurality of second registers, where the physical layer circuitry is to receive and output the message information to a second die via an interconnect having a mainband and a sideband. During a test of the apparatus, the sideband is to enable access to information in at least one of the plurality of first registers or at least one of the plurality of second registers. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses associated with an approximate majority based data bus inversion technique are disclosed. A method comprises obtaining, at a first device connected by a plurality of lanes to a second device, original data comprising first bits and second bits, where the first bits are to be transmitted in a new clock cycle via first lanes of the plurality of lanes, and the second bits are to be transmitted in the new clock cycle via second lanes of the plurality of lanes. The method further includes determining whether a first criterion associated with the first bits is met, determining whether a second criterion associated with the second bits is met, and transmitting an inverted version of the original data via the plurality of lanes based, at least in part, on determining that the first criterion and the second criterion are met.
