    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for performing efficient power management for a multi-node computing system are disclosed. A computing system includes multiple nodes. When power down negotiation is distributed, negotiation for system-wide power down occurs within a lower level of a node hierarchy prior to negotiation for power down occurring at a higher level of the node hierarchy. When power down negotiation is centralized, a given node combines a state of its clients with indications received on its downstream link and sends an indication on an upstream link based on the combining. Only a root node sends power down requests.

    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 presents methods and apparatuses for controlling a power state, which may include a C-state, of one or more processing cores of a processor. In an aspect, an example method of securing a power state change of a processor is presented, the method including the steps of receiving a power state change request from the processor, the processor having a plurality of potential power states each including an operating power profile; determining a power state change request mode associated with the processor; forwarding the power state change request to a security processor where the power state change request mode is a one-time request mode; receiving a power state change request response from the security processor in response to the request; and adjusting the current power state of the processor to the target power state where the power state change request response comprises a power state change approval.
