摘要:
Methods and apparatus relating to low-overhead utilization-aware link-width modulation to reduce power consumption in interconnects are described. In one embodiment, a link width modulation logic adjusts the width of an interconnect link. More particularly, the link width modulation logic causes the interconnect link to transition from a first width to a second width based on comparison of a utilization value associated with the interconnect link against at least one of a plurality of utilization threshold values. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.

A method and apparatus for n-bit by n-bit multiplication is disclosed using paralleled 4-bit by 4-bit multipliers and cascaded adder structures. The cascaded adder structures may be used to produce non-pipelined, integer, n-bit by n-bit multipliers with higher throughput than systolic array multipliers of similar geometries.
摘要:
An apparatus and method are disclosed to optimize the latency and the power of a link operating inside a processor-based system. The apparatus and method include a latency meter built into a queue that does not rely on a queue-depth threshold. The apparatus and method also include feedback logic that optimizes power reduction around an increasing latency target to react to sluggish re-provisioning behavior imposed by the physical properties of the link.

In one embodiment, a processor includes at least one core to execute instructions, one or more thermal sensors associated with the at least one core, and a power controller coupled to the at least one core. The power controller has a control logic to receive temperature information regarding the processor and dynamically determine a maximum allowable average power limit based at least in part on the temperature information. The control logic may further maintain a static maximum base operating frequency of the processor regardless of a value of the temperature information. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

According to embodiments of the present invention, indicators on a PCI/PCI-X controlled by a Standard Hot-Plug Controller (SHPC) have non-fifty percent duty cycle blinking patterns that communicate to an operator a particular command being processed, whether the command was processed successfully, whether a “hard” or “soft” error occurred if the command was processed successfully, and whether power was applied to the slot if the command was not processed successfully.
