Abstract: The methods for fine-grained power management of physical system memory allow portions of the system volatile memory to be independently power managed. The system volatile memory may be partitioned into a plurality of power management units (PMUs). Each PMU may have a pre-determined size or a variable size, which may be less than the size of a memory chip. Each PMU may be placed in a different memory state and independently power managed according to the memory state. At opportune times during the system active state, a fractional potion of the system volatile memory is shadowed into the system nonvolatile memory. Active data in the system volatile memory is rearranged prior to entering a power-saving mode and the PMUs containing the shadowed data may be powered off. Thus, power efficiency of the system volatile memory is improved.

Abstract: A wireless device is disclosed. The wireless device includes a wireless communication module, a data storage module, and a controller for controlling the storage and/or retrieval of data from the data storage module. The wireless communication module communicates with each of a plurality of remote devices and the data storage module defines a first storage area and a second storage area. The controller controls the communication of data between the first storage area and the remote device, and the second storage area and the remote device dependent upon access rights associated with the remote device. The first storage area typically defines a public storage area with which data is exchanged in a relatively free manner, and the second storage area typically defines a private storage area with which data is exchanged in a relatively restricted manner.

Abstract: Systems and methods of power management provide for controlling the idleness of a processor based on an operating system schedule. The idleness of at least one device is synchronized with the idleness of the processor. Idleness synchronization may involve deferring bus transactions, suspending memory refresh, turning off power to clock sources and turning off power to combinatorial logic during an idle window in the OS schedule.

Abstract: A method is described that involves operating a computing system within a normal on state and transitioning from the normal on state to a main CPU/OS based state. In the main CPU/OS based state one or more components of the computing system are inactivated so as to cause the computing system to consume less power in the main CPU/OS based state than in the normal on state. The computing system is able to execute software application routines on a main CPU and a main OS of the computing system while in the main CPU/OS based state.

Abstract: Techniques that may be utilized in reduction of snoop accesses are described. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a page snoop command that identifies a page address corresponding to a memory access request by an input/output (I/O) device. One or more cache lines that match the page address may be evicted. Furthermore, memory access by a processor core may be monitored to determine whether the processor core memory access is within the page address.
