摘要:
An audio noise mitigation approach. For one aspect, a first voltage associated with a first power management state is provided. A signal responsive to an indication associated with at least a first type of periodic exit event is received and responsive to the signal, a transition to a second voltage associated with a second state is initiated, a rate of the transition to the second voltage being slower than a similar voltage transition initiated in response to a non-periodic exit event.

In one embodiment, a data processing system includes, but is not limited to, a processor, a memory coupled to the processor, and a universal serial bus (USB) controller coupled to the processor and the memory. The USB controller includes a local memory to cache at least one activity descriptor of at least a portion of a periodic schedule having multiple frames stored in the main memory. The USB controller defers to service an active USB device described by one of the activity descriptors until a corresponding frame is scheduled to be serviced subsequently. Other methods and apparatuses are also described.
摘要:
An interface between an accelerated graphics port graphics controller (AGP-GC) and a core controller to prevent entry into a low power state from interfering with transfers to or from the AGP-GC that have been requested but not completed. The core controller can communicate to the AGP-GC an intent to enter a low power state, while the AGP-GC can communicate to the core controller the busy status of the AGP-GC. When the AGP-GC receives notice of an intent to enter a low power state, it can stop issuing requests to the core controller. When the core controller detects that the AGP-GC is busy, the core controller can postpone entry into the low power state until the AGP-GC completes any requests that are in progress. In an alternate use of the interface, if the AGP-GC wishes to make a request during a low power state, it can signal the core controller of this need by indicating a busy status, which can trigger the core controller to initiate an exit from the low power state.

摘要:
For one disclosed embodiment, a plurality of processor cores may be on a semiconductor die. The processor cores may have at least one corresponding temperature sensor. Circuitry on the semiconductor die may generate thermal event indications based on sensed temperatures from multiple temperature sensors of multiple processor cores. A thermal event indication may indicate that a sensed temperature exceeds a temperature point. Central management logic on the semiconductor die may receive thermal event indications based on sensed temperatures from multiple temperature sensors of multiple processor cores. The central management logic may modify operation of one or more of the processor cores in response to a thermal event indication. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
