    摘要: In an embodiment, a processor includes a plurality of cores and power management logic. The power management logic may be to, in response to a first break event during a reduced power state in the processor, set an exit timer based on a platform latency tolerance, block a first plurality of break events from interrupting the reduced power state, and in response to a expiration of the exit timer, terminate the reduced power state. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    摘要: One embodiment of the present invention is a PCI bus target device. The PCI bus target device includes a first circuit, a second circuit, a third circuit, and a fourth circuit. The first circuit is configured to determine whether the PCI bus target device is the target of a first transaction initiated by a first PCI bus master device. The second circuit is configured to determine whether the PCI bus target device is ready to complete the first transaction. The third circuit is configured to determine whether a second PCI bus master device is ready to initiate a second transaction. The fourth circuit is configured to terminate the first transaction if the PCI bus target device is the target of the first transaction and is not ready to complete the first transaction and the second PCI bus master device is ready to initiate the second transaction.

    摘要: Various embodiments are directed to a tri-layered power scheme for architectures which contain a microcontroller. In one embodiment, a power management system may comprise a microcontroller in a chipset, a low consumption power well to control a power supply to the microcontroller, and a power controller to control a power supply to the low consumption power well. The power management system may be arranged to switch among multiple power consumption states. In a maximum power consumption state, the microcontroller is on, the power controller is on, and the low consumption power well is on. In an intermediate power consumption state, the microcontroller is off, the power controller is on, and the low consumption power well is required to be on. In a minimum power consumption state, the microcontroller is off, the power controller is on, and the low consumption power well is optionally on or off at the discretion of the power controller. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
