Abstract:
Methods and apparatus relating to techniques for controlling resource utilization with adaptive routing are described. In one embodiment, an output port for transmission of an incoming message that is to be received at an input port is determined at routing logic. The routing logic selects the output port from a first output port and a second output port based on congestion information that is detected at one or more other routing logic communicatively coupled to the routing logic. The first output port provides a deterministic route for the incoming message and the second output port provides an adaptive route for the incoming message. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
Abstract:
Techniques for power gating. A first on-die router has an output port to receive data from a switching fabric. The output port is placed in a power-gated state if there is no activity in the output port for a current cycle and no messages are to be received by the output port during a subsequent cycle. A second on-die router has an input port coupled with the output port of the first on-die router. The input port is placed in a power-gated state if an input port buffer is empty and the output port is not active. Power-gating of the input port and the output port are independent of each other.
Abstract:
An apparatus that includes input ports, input buffers coupled with respective input ports, output ports, and routing control circuitry coupled with the input ports, the input buffers and/or the output ports. The plurality of input buffers and the plurality of output ports, the routing control circuitry to maintain a two-tier priority scheme having at least two queues for prioritizing requests stored in the plurality of input buffers.
