    Abstract: A method and system for saving and/or retrieving context information of a processor core for a power state transition. The processor core resides in a complex power domain variously transitioning between a plurality of power states. The processor core includes a local context storage area for storage and retrieval of processor core context information. A low power context storage resides in a nominal power domain external to the complex power domain. Context information of the processor core is stored to the low power context storage based on whether a power state transition of the complex power domain includes a transition to power down the processor core.

    Abstract translation: 一种用于保存和/或检索用于电力状态转换的处理器核心的上下文信息的方法和系统。 处理器核心驻留在多个功率状态之间不同地转换的复杂功率域。 处理器核心包括用于存储和检索处理器核心上下文信息的本地上下文存储区域。 低功耗上下文存储位于复合功率域外的标称功率域。 基于复电力域的功率状态转换是否包括向处理器核心断电的过渡,将处理器核心的上下文信息存储到低功率上下文存储器。
