摘要:
In an embodiment, a processor includes a plurality of cores each to independently execute instructions, a power delivery logic coupled to the plurality of cores, and a power controller including a first logic to cause a first core to enter into a first low power state of an operating system power management scheme independently of the OS, during execution of at least one thread on the first core. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

In one embodiment, the present invention includes a processor having a core and a power controller to control power management features of the processor. The power controller can receive an energy performance bias (EPB) value from the core and access a power-performance tuning table based on the value. Using information from the table, at least one setting of a power management feature can be updated. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

In one embodiment, the present invention includes a multicore processor having a power controller with logic to dynamically switch a power management policy from a power biased policy to a performance biased policy when a utilization of the processor exceeds a threshold level. Thus at low utilizations, reduced power consumption can be realized, while at higher utilizations, greater performance can be realized. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Embodiments of the invention are generally directed to systems, methods, and apparatuses for rank coordination. In some embodiments, a host includes rank coordination logic. The rank coordination logic may include performance measurement logic to measure a performance of a memory channel and dwell period control logic to select a length of a dwell period based, at least in part, on the performance of the memory channel. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

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.
摘要:
A processor is described that includes a processing core and a plurality of counters for the processing core. The plurality of counters are to count a first value and a second value for each of multiple threads supported by the processing core. The first value reflects a number of cycles at which a non sleep state has been requested for the first value's corresponding thread, and, a second value that reflects a number of cycles at which a non sleep state and a highest performance state has been requested for the second value's corresponding thread. The first value's corresponding thread and the second value's corresponding thread being a same thread.

Embodiments of the invention are generally directed to systems, methods, and apparatuses for clock enable (CKE) coordination. In some embodiments, a memory controller includes logic to predict whether a scheduled request will be issued to a rank. The memory controller may also include logic to predict whether a scheduled request will not be issued to the rank. In some embodiments, the clock enable (CKE) is asserted or de-asserted to a rank based, at least in part, on the predictions. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
