Abstract: Various embodiments comprise prioritizing frequency allocations in thermally- or power-constrained computing devices. Computer elements may be assigned ‘weights’ based on their priorities. The computer elements with higher weights may receive higher frequency allocations to assure they receive priority in processing more quickly. The computer elements with lower weights may receive lower frequency allocations and suffer a slowdown in their processing. Elements with the same weight may be grouped together for the purpose of frequency allocation.

Abstract: A multicore processor may include multiple processing cores that were previously designated as active cores and at least one processing core that was previously designated as a functional spare. The processor may include an interface to receive, during operation of the processor in an end-user environment, a request to change the designation of at least one of the processing cores. The processor may be to store, into a desired cores configuration data structure in response to the request, data representing a bitmask that reflects the requested change, and to execute a reset sequence. During the reset sequence, the processor may activate, dependent on the bitmask, a processing core previously designated as a functional spare, or may deactivate, dependent on the bitmask, a processing core previously designated as an active core. The processor may include a predetermined maximum number of active cores and a predetermined minimum number of functional spares.

Abstract: In one embodiment, the present invention includes a processor having a core and a power controller to control power management features of the processor. The power controller can receive an energy performance bias (EPB) value from the core and access a power-performance tuning table based on the value. Using information from the table, at least one setting of a power management feature can be updated. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a processor includes a first chip of a multi-chip package (MCP). The first chip includes at least one core and first chip temperature control (TC) logic to assert a first power adjustment signal at a second chip of the MCP responsive to an indication that a first chip temperature of the first chip exceeds a first threshold. The processor also includes a conduit that includes a bi-directional pin to couple the first chip to the second chip within the MCP. The conduit is to transport the first power adjustment signal from the first chip to the second chip and the first power adjustment signal is to cause an adjustment of a second chip power consumption of the second chip. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: A method is provided for controlling a link. This may include determining a condition of a first device coupled to the link, receiving, at the first device, a request for a specific link state from a second device coupled to the link, and determining a power state of the link based on the determined condition of the first device.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods may provide for subscribing a thread to a resource monitor through a machine specific register and subscribing the thread to a class of service through the machine specific register. The resource monitor or the class of service for the thread may be changed without interrupting the thread. The power allocated to the processor core may be changed based on the selected class of service for the thread.
