    摘要: An apparatus and a method for providing decoded information, the apparatus comprising: a memory module for storing encoded information; a decoder, coupled to the memory module, for fetching and decoding encoded information and for providing decoded information; and a cache, coupled to the memory module and to the decoder and to a recipient of decoded information, the cache is adapted to store at least one set of decoded information, to be provided to the recipient of information after a cache check condition is fulfilled and a cache hit occurs. A cache check condition is fulfilled when a change of flow occurs.

    摘要: Method, apparatus and system embodiments are disclosed for one or more programmable registers to hold wakeup time values for power management. For at least one embodiment, information based on the values in the programmable registers may be utilized by a power management unit to determine whether a power island has had sufficient time to transition out of a low power state. The values of the programmable registers may be dynamically modified during operation of a processing system. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

    摘要: An electronic circuit comprises at least one digital logic circuit; and a power control circuit. The power control circuit is operable to adjust the voltage of a power signal supplied to the at least one digital logic circuit in response to a change in a clock frequency provided to the at least one digital logic circuit. In a further embodiment, the power controller is operable to increase the voltage of the power signal applied to the digital logic circuit before a frequency increase is made, and is operable to decrease the voltage of the power signal applied to the digital logic circuit after a frequency decrease is made.

    摘要: A device and method for performing high speed low overhead context switch, and especially in processors that handle multilevel nested tasks. The device handles forward requests and backward requests. The device is coupled to a central processing unit and has plurality of register files and a direct memory access mechanism that allows a processor to respond to a forward request by starting to handle a higher priority task using a first register file while transferring the halted task context from the second register file to a context save area within a memory module. The processor responds to a backward request by using the context that is stored in a first register file, while transferring to the second register file a lower priority task context.
