    摘要: Techniques and apparatuses for clock crossing. A reset circuit on a first die generates a forwarded FIFO reset signal synchronous to a reference clock that identifies a single edge. A clock generation circuit on the first die generates the reference clock signal. Control circuitry on the first die generates a forwarded signal, synchronous to the forwarded clock that identifies a forwarded clock edge with fixed timing relationship to the forwarded clock edge a transmit PLL locks to the single reference edge. A phase locked loop (PLL) on a second die is coupled to receive the reference clock signal, the PLL to generate a local clock signal. A circular FIFO with a write pointer advanced by the forwarded clock and a read pointer advanced by the local clock.

    摘要: In some embodiments, a method, apparatus and system to generate an interrupt by monitoring an external interface are presented. In this regard, an interrupt agent is introduced to communicate over a serial interface with an input/output (I/O) extender and to save a relevant status of the I/O extender in a memory. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.

    摘要: Initialization in multiple clock domains. A first die having a master initialization component generates initialization commands. A local initialization agent on the first die is coupled to receive the initialization commands. The local initialization agent manages initialization of one or more components on the first die. A remote initialization agent on a second die is coupled to receive the initialization commands. The remote initialization agent manages initialization of one or more components on the second die. The master initialization component receives acknowledgement messages from the local initialization agent and the remote initialization agent to manage conflicts and dependencies between the local initialization agent and the remote initialization agent and synchronizes events in multiple clock domains that share a reference clock signal by signaling in the reference clock domain.

    摘要: In some embodiments a memory rank idle counter enables de-assertion of a clock enable signal of a rank of a memory for idle systems. Clock enable signal assertion is maintained when there is a lot of traffic to the memory rank. A memory rank idle time prediction counter transfers a value to the memory rank idle counter when the memory rank is idle. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    摘要: According to one embodiment, a memory controller is disclosed. The memory controller includes a scheduler to schedule memory transactions to the DIMM and a write address queue to accumulate the write requests while the memory controller is operating in a first mode and to release the write requests to the scheduler whenever the memory controller is operating in a second mode.
