    摘要: A data path controller, a computer device, an apparatus and a method are disclosed for integrating power management functions into a data path controller to manage power consumed by processors and peripheral devices. By embedding power management within the data path controller, the data path controller can advantageously modify its criteria in-situ so that it can adapt its power management actions in response to changes in processors and peripheral devices. In addition, the data path controller includes a power-managing interface that provides power-monitoring ports for monitoring and/or quantifying power consumption of various components. In one embodiment, the data path controller includes a power-monitoring interface for selectably monitoring power of a component. It also includes a controller for adjusting operational characteristics of the component for modifying the power consumed by the component to comply with a performance profile, which generally specifies permissible power consumption levels for the component.

    摘要: A speculative transfer mechanism transfers a source synchronous read request from a first clock domain to a second clock domain. The address portion having address information is transferred to the second clock domain in response to detecting a source synchronous address strobe latching signal. A pointer is generated in response to detecting the address strobe latching signal and passed into the second clock domain. In one embodiment, a pointer is retimed to be stable for a timing window for which a crossover of the address portion may be performed in the second clock domain. Request logic in the second clock domain generates a read command based on the address portion and the pointer.

    摘要: A system, apparatus, and method are disclosed for storing predictions as well as examining and using one or more caches for anticipating accesses to a memory. In one embodiment, an exemplary apparatus is a prefetcher for managing predictive accesses with a memory. The prefetcher can include a speculator to generate a range of predictions, and multiple caches. For example, the prefetcher can include a first cache and a second cache to store predictions. An entry of the first cache is addressable by a first representation of an address from the range of predictions, whereas an entry of the second cache is addressable by a second representation of the address. The first and the second representations are compared in parallel against the stored predictions of either the first cache and the second cache, or both.
