Abstract:
In one embodiment, a processor has multiple cores to execute threads. The processor further includes a power control logic to enable entry into a turbo mode based on a comparison between a threshold and value of a counter that stores a count of core power and performance combinations that identify turbo mode requests of at least one of the threads. In this way, turbo mode may be entered at a utilization level of the processor that provides for high power efficiency. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Abstract:
Systems and methods of operating a computing system may involve identifying a plurality of state values, wherein each state value corresponds to a computing thread associated with a processor. An average value can be determined for the plurality of state values, wherein a determination may be made as to whether to grant a frequency boost request based at least in part on the average value.
Abstract:
A semiconductor chip is described having different instances of cache agent logic circuitry for respective cache slices of a distributed cache. The semiconductor chip further includes hash engine logic circuitry comprising: hash logic circuitry to determine, based on an address, that a particular one of the cache slices is to receive a request having the address, and, a first input to receive notice of a failure event for the particular cache slice. The semiconductor chip also includes first circuitry to assign the address to another cache slice of the cache slices in response to the notice.

Abstract:
In one embodiment, a multi-core processor includes multiple cores and an uncore, where the uncore includes various logic units including a cache memory, a router, and a power control unit (PCU). The PCU can clock gate at least one of the logic units and the cache memory when the multi-core processor is in a low power state to thus reduce dynamic power consumption.

Abstract:
In one embodiment, the present invention includes a processor that has an on-die storage such as a static random access memory to store an architectural state of one or more threads that are swapped out of architectural state storage of the processor on entry to a system management mode (SMM). In this way communication of this state information to a system management memory can be avoided, reducing latency associated with entry into SMM. Embodiments may also enable the processor to update a status of executing agents that are either in a long instruction flow or in a system management interrupt (SMI) blocked state, in order to provide an indication to agents inside the SMM. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
