    Abstract: In an embodiment, a system includes an energy source and an integrated circuit that is coupled to one or more memory devices via a plurality of memory channels. A memory controller in the integrated circuit is programmable with a plurality of identifiers corresponding to the plurality of channels, and is further programmable with a command and a first identifier associated with the command. Responsive to the command, the memory controller is configured to perform one or more calibrations on a subset of the plurality of channels for which corresponding identifiers of the plurality of identifiers match the first identifier. Other ones of the plurality of channels, for which the corresponding identifiers do not match the first identifier, do not perform the calibration.

    Abstract: Systems, methods and mechanisms for efficiently calibrating memory signals. In various embodiments, a computing system includes at least one processor, a memory and a power manager. The power manager generates and sends updated power-performance states (p-states) to the processor and the memory. Logic within a memory controller for the memory initializes a first timer corresponding to a first p-state of the multiple p-states to indicate a duration for skipping memory calibration. The logic continues to update the first timer while transferring data with the memory using operating parameters of the first p-state. When the memory is not using operating parameters of the first p-state, the logic prevents updates of the first timer. When the power manager determines to transition the memory from the first p-state to a second p-state, and the second timer for the second e-state has not expired, the logic prevents calibration of the memory.
