摘要:
Methods and apparatus relating to autonomous C state mechanism and computational engine alignment for improved processor power efficiency are described. An embodiment determines whether a semiconductor package should enter a package C state based on energy consumption values for entry into and exit from the package C state, an amount of time the semiconductor package stayed in the package C state previously, and one or more breakeven time points between the various package C states. Another embodiment detects a delay by an imaging computational unit of a processor to enter a low power consumption state relative to one or more other computational units of the processor. The logic causes the imaging computational unit to enter the low power consumption state in response to detection of the delay. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.
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.
摘要:
Methods and apparatus relating to controlling power consumption by a Power Supply Unit (PSU) during idle state are described. In one embodiment, a power supply unit enters a lower power consumption state (e.g. S9) based on power state information, corresponding to one or more components of the platform, and comparison of a first value (corresponding to a frequency/frequentness of entry into the lower power consumption state) to a first threshold value. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.
