    摘要: A message channel optimization method and system enables multi-flow access to the message channel infrastructure within a CPU of a processor-based system. A user (pcode) employs a virtual channel to submit message channel transactions, with the message channel driver processing the transaction "behind the scenes". The message channel driver thus allows the user to continue processing without having to block other transactions from being processed. Each transaction will be processed, either immediately or at some future time, by the message channel driver. The message channel optimization method and system are useful for tasks involving message channel transactions as well as non-message channel transactions.

    摘要: Methods, apparatus, and systems for implementing coordinated idle power management in glueless and clustered systems. Components for facilitating coordination of package idle power state between sockets in a glueless system such as a server platform include a master entity in one socket (i.e., processor) and a slave entity in each socket participating in the power management coordination. Each slave collects idle status inputs from various sources and when the socket cores are sufficiently idle, it makes a request to the master to enter a deeper idle power state. The master coordinates global power management operations in response to the slave requests, including broadcasting a command with a target latency to all of the slaves to allow the processors to enter reduced power (i.e., idle) states in a coordinated manner. Communications between the entities is facilitated using messages transported over existing interconnects and corresponding protocols, enabling the benefits associated with the disclosed embodiments to be implemented using existing designs.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for dynamic power limit sharing among the modules in the platform. In one embodiment of the invention, the platform comprises a processor and memory modules. By expanding the power domain to include the processor and the memory modules, dynamic sharing of the power budget of the platform between the processor and the memory modules is enabled. For low-bandwidth workloads, the dynamic sharing of the power budget offers significant opportunity for the processor to increase its frequency by using the headroom in the memory power and vice versa. This enables higher peak performance for the same total platform power budget in one embodiment of the invention.
