    摘要: An apparatus and method for managing a frequency of a computer processor. The apparatus includes a power control unit (PCU) to manage power in a computer processor. ThePCU includes a data collection module to obtain transaction rate data from a plurality of communication ports in the computer processor and a frequency control logic module coupled to the data collection module, the frequency control logic to calculate a minimum processor interconnect frequency for the plurality of communication ports to handle traffic without significant added latency and to override the processor interconnect frequency to meet the calculated minimum processor interconnect frequency.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for dynamic power limit sharing among the modules in the platform. In one embodiment of the invention, the platform comprises a processor and memory modules. By expanding the power domain to include the processor and the memory modules, dynamic sharing of the power budget of the platform between the processor and the memory modules is enabled. For low-bandwidth workloads, the dynamic sharing of the power budget offers significant opportunity for the processor to increase its frequency by using the headroom in the memory power and vice versa. This enables higher peak performance for the same total platform power budget in one embodiment of the invention.
