    Abstract: Dynamic power budget allocation in a multi-processor system is described. In an example, an apparatus includes a plurality of processor units; and a power control component, the power control component to monitor power utilization of each of the plurality of processor units, wherein power consumed by the plurality of processor units is limited by a global power budget. The apparatus is to assign a workload to each of the processor units and is to establish an initial power budget for operation of each of the processor units, and, upon the apparatus determining that one or more processor units require an increased power budget based on one or more criteria, the apparatus is to dynamically reallocate an amount of the global power budget to the one or more processor units.

    Abstract: A disaggregated processor package can be configured to accept interchangeable chiplets. Interchangeability is enabled by specifying a standard physical interconnect for chiplets that can enable the chiplet to interface with a fabric or bridge interconnect. Chiplets from different IP designers can conform to the common interconnect, enabling such chiplets to be interchangeable during assembly. The fabric and bridge interconnects logic on the chiplet can then be configured to confirm with the actual interconnect layout of the on-board logic of the chiplet. Additionally, data from chiplets can be transmitted across an inter-chiplet fabric using encapsulation, such that the actual data being transferred is opaque to the fabric, further enable interchangeability of the individual chiplets, With such an interchangeable design, cache or DRAM memory can be inserted into memory chiplet slots, while compute or graphics chiplets with a higher or lower core count can be inserted into logic chiplet slots.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus relating to techniques for resource load balancing based on usage and/or power limits are described. In an embodiment, resource load balancing logic causes a first resource of a processor to operate at a first frequency and a second resource of the processor to operate at a second frequency. Memory stores a plurality of frequency values. The resource load balancing logic also selects the first frequency and the second frequency based on the stored plurality of frequency values. Operation of the first resource at the first frequency and the second resource at the second frequency in turn causes the processor to operate under a power budget. The resource load balancing logic causes change to the first frequency and the second frequency in response to a determination that operation of the processor is different than the power budget. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.
