Abstract: In an embodiment, a processor includes processing cores to execute instructions; and throttling logic. The throttling logic is to: determine an average capacitance score for execution events in a sliding window; perform frequency throttling when the average capacitance score exceeds a throttling threshold; determine a count of frequency throttling instances; and in response to a determination that the count of frequency throttling instances exceeds a maximum throttling value, increase the throttling threshold and concurrently reduce a baseline frequency. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Various embodiments provide a voltage regulator circuit with automatic phase shedding. A control circuit may control first transitions of a power state of the voltage regulator based on an average current draw of the voltage regulator. The control circuit may further control second transitions of the power state of the voltage regulator based on a voltage droop of the output voltage and/or a peak current draw of the voltage regulator. The first transitions may be performed synchronously, and the second transitions may be performed asynchronously. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for flushing and restoring core memory content to and from, respectively, external memory are described. In one embodiment, the apparatus is an integrated circuit comprising a plurality of processor cores, the plurality of process cores including one core having a first memory operable to store data of the one core, the one core to store data from the first memory to a second memory located externally to the processor in response to receipt of a first indication that the one core is to transition from a first low power idle state to a second low power idle state and receipt of a second indication generated externally from the one core indicating that the one core is to store the data from the first memory to the second memory, locations in the second memory at which the data is stored being accessible by the one core and inaccessible by other processor cores in the IC; and a power management controller coupled to the plurality of cores and located outside the plurality of cores.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a processor includes a core to execute instructions and a core perimeter logic coupled to the core. The core perimeter logic may include a fabric interface logic coupled to the core. In turn, the fabric interface logic may include a first storage to store state information of the core when the core is in a low power state, and enable an inter-die interconnect coupled between the core and an uncore to be maintained in an active state during entry of the core into a low power state. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus relating to techniques for processor core energy management are described. In an embodiment, energy management logic causes a modification to energy consumption by an electrical load (such as a processor core) based at least in part on comparison of an electrical current value and an operating current threshold value. The electrical current value is detected at an electrical current sensor coupled to the electrical load. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.
