摘要:
Embodiments of systems, apparatuses, and methods for energy-efficient operation of a device are described. In some embodiments, a cache performance indicator of a cache is monitored, and a set of one or more cache performance parameters based on the cache performance indicator is determined. The cache is dynamically resized to an optimal cache size based on a comparison of the cache performance parameters to their energy-efficient targets to reduce power consumption.

A processor is described having cache circuitry and logic circuitry. The logic circuitry is to manage the entry and removal of cache lines from the cache circuitry. The logic circuitry includes storage circuitry and control circuitry. The storage circuitry is to store information identifying a set of cache lines within the cache that are in a modified state. The control circuitry is coupled to the storage circuitry to receive the information from the storage circuitry, responsive to a signal to flush the cache, and determine addresses of the cache therefrom so that the set of cache lines are read from the cache so as to avoid reading cache lines from the cache that are in an invalid or a clean state.

In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method for incrementing a counter value associated with a cache line if the cache line is inserted into a first level cache, and storing the cache line into a second level cache coupled to the first level cache or a third level cache coupled to the second level cache based on the counter value, after eviction from the first level cache. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method for receiving an interrupt from an accelerator, sending a resume signal directly to a small core responsive to the interrupt and providing a subset of an execution state of the large core to the first small core, and determining whether the small core can handle a request associated with the interrupt, and performing an operation corresponding to the request in the small core if the determination is in the affirmative, and otherwise providing the large core execution state and the resume signal to the large core. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Apparatus and computing systems associated with cache sharing based thread control are described. One embodiment includes a memory to store a thread control instruction and a processor to execute the thread control instruction. The processor is coupled to the memory. The processor includes a first unit to dynamically determine a cache sharing behavior between threads in a multi-threaded computing system and a second unit to dynamically control the composition of a set of threads in the multi-threaded computing system. The composition of the set of threads is based, at least in part, on thread affinity as exhibited by cache-sharing behavior. The thread control instruction controls the operation of the first unit and the second unit.
