摘要： An integrated circuit. The integrated circuit includes a plurality of functional units, wherein each of the plurality of functional units is implemented on a die of the integrated circuit. Each of the functional units includes one or more temperature sensors. The integrated circuit further includes a temperature control unit coupled to each of the functional units, wherein the temperature control unit is configured to monitor a temperature of each of the plurality of functional units based on temperature information provided from the temperature sensors. The temperature control unit is configured to, if the temperature exceeds a first threshold value for a particular one of the plurality of functional units, perform a first temperature control action on the particular one of the plurality of functional units independently of other ones of the plurality of functional units.

摘要： A processing node tracks probe activity level associated with its internal caching or memory system. If the probe activity level increases above a threshold probe activity level, the performance state of the processing node is increased above its current performance state to provide enhanced performance capability in responding to the probe requests. After entering the higher performance state in response to the probe activity level being above the threshold probe activity level, the processing nodes returns to a lower performance state in response to a reduction in probe activity. There may be multiple threshold probe activity levels and associated performance states.
