    摘要: In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method for sending a first link handshake signal between a first subsystem and a power management unit (PMU) of a system on a chip (SoC) to request entry into a power saving state for the first subsystem, sending a second link handshake signal between the first subsystem and the PMU to acknowledge the request, and placing the first subsystem into the power saving state without further signaling between the PMU and the first subsystem. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    摘要: In one embodiment, the present invention includes an apparatus having an adapter to communicate according to a personal computer (PC) protocol and a second protocol. A first interface coupled to the adapter is to perform address translation and ordering of transactions received from upstream of the adapter. The first interface is coupled in turn to heterogeneous resources, each of which includes an intellectual property (IP) core and a shim, where the shim is to implement a header of the PC protocol for the IP core to enable its incorporation into the apparatus without modification. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    摘要: A device to process data packets for communication across PHY layers which are of different respective communication protocols. In an embodiment, the device includes a first protocol stack and a second protocol stack which are each for a PCIe™ communication protocol. The first protocol stack and a second protocol stack may interface, respectively, with a first physical (PHY) layer and a second PHY layer of the device. The first protocol stack and the second protocol stack may exchange packets to facilitate communications via both the first PHY layer and the second PHY layer. In another embodiment, the first PHY layer is for communication according to the PCIe™ communication protocol and the second PHY layer is for communication according to another, comparatively low power communication protocol.

    摘要: In an embodiment, an apparatus includes a consuming logic to request and process data including a critical data portion and a second data portion, the data stored in a memory coupled to a processor interposed between the apparatus and the memory. In addition, the apparatus includes a protocol stack logic coupled to the consuming logic to issue a read request to the memory via the processor to request the data and to receive a plurality of completions responsive to the read request. In an embodiment, the protocol stack logic includes a completion handling logic to send data of a first of the completions to the consuming logic before protocol stack processing is completed on the completions. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    摘要: A device is determined to be in a low power state. A transition from the low power state to an active state is initiated, where a fixed minimum recovery time is defined for transitions from the low power state to the active state. A capability of the device is identified corresponding to transition of the device from the low power state to the active state, and the transition of the device from the low power state to the active state is completed based at least in part on the capability, such that the transition is to be completed prior to expiration of the fixed minimum recovery time.
