    Abstract: A processor prunes state information based on information provided by software, thereby reducing the amount of state information to be stored prior to the processor entering a low-power state. The software, such as an operating system or application program executing at the processor, indicates one or more registers of the processor as storing data that is no longer useful. When preparing to enter the low-power state, the processor omits the indicated registers from the state information stored to memory.

    Abstract: A system includes a plurality of memory classes and a set of one or more processing units coupled to the plurality of memory classes. The system further includes a data migration controller to select a traffic rate as a maximum traffic rate for transferring data between the plurality of memory classes based on a net benefit metric associated with the traffic rate, and to enforce the maximum traffic rate for transferring data between the plurality of memory classes.

    Abstract: Power gating logic detects a transition of a component of a processing device into an idle state. In response to detecting the transition, the entry/exit power gating logic selectively implements one or more entry prediction techniques for power gating the component based on estimates of reliability of the entry prediction techniques. The entry/exit power gating logic also selectively implements one or more exit prediction techniques for exiting the power gated state based on estimates of reliability of the exit prediction techniques.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for exiting a low power state based on a prior prediction is disclosed. An integrated circuit (IC) includes a functional unit configured to, during operation, cycle between intervals of an active state and intervals of an idle state. The IC also include a power management unit configured to place the functional unit in a low power state responsive to the functional unit entering the idle state. The power management unit is further configured to preemptively cause the functional unit to exit the low power state at a predetermined time after entering the low power. The predetermined time is based on a prediction of idle state duration made prior to entering the low power state. The prediction may be generated by a prediction unit, based on a history of durations of intervals in which the functional unit was in the idle state.

    Abstract: Durations of active performance states of components of a processing system can be predicted based on one or more previous durations of an active state of the components. One or more entities in the processing system such as processor cores or caches can be configured based on the predicted durations of the active state of the components. Some embodiments configure a first component in a processing system based on a predicted duration of an active state of a second component of the processing system. The predicted duration is predicted based on one or more previous durations of an active state of the second component.
