20090167270 | SUPPLY VOLTAGE CONTROL BASED AT LEAST IN PART ON POWER STATE OF INTEGRATED CIRCUIT - For one disclosed embodiment, switching voltage regulator circuitry may be controlled to supply a voltage to at least a portion of an integrated circuit. Information corresponding to a current load for a different power state of at least a portion of the integrated circuit may be received. The switching voltage regulator circuitry may be controlled to adjust the voltage to a different value based at least in part on the received information. For another disclosed embodiment, a voltage may be received for a power state of at least a portion of an integrated circuit having first logic to perform one or more functions and second logic integrated with the first logic. Information corresponding to a current load for a different power state of at least a portion of the integrated circuit may be sent from the second logic to voltage regulator control logic to adjust the voltage to a different value. Other embodiments are also disclosed. | 07-02-2009 |
20090171875 | SYSTEMS, METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR RANK COORDINATION - Embodiments of the invention are generally directed to systems, methods, and apparatuses for rank coordination. In some embodiments, a host includes rank coordination logic. The rank coordination logic may include performance measurement logic to measure a performance of a memory channel and dwell period control logic to select a length of a dwell period based, at least in part, on the performance of the memory channel. Other embodiments are described and claimed. | 07-02-2009 |
20090172442 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MEMORY PHASE SHEDDING - Embodiments of the invention supply power to DRAM or other memory devices with a multi-phase voltage regulator. A power controller coupled to the multi-phase voltage regulator causes one or more phases of the multi-phase voltage regulator to be activated or deactivated (shed) according to predetermined criteria. Embodiments of the invention thus improve power management by providing one or more reduced power states for the memory devices. Other embodiments are described. | 07-02-2009 |
20090172681 | SYSTEMS, METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR CLOCK ENABLE (CKE) COORDINATION - Embodiments of the invention are generally directed to systems, methods, and apparatuses for clock enable (CKE) coordination. In some embodiments, a memory controller includes logic to predict whether a scheduled request will be issued to a rank. The memory controller may also include logic to predict whether a scheduled request will not be issued to the rank. In some embodiments, the clock enable (CKE) is asserted or de-asserted to a rank based, at least in part, on the predictions. Other embodiments are described and claimed. | 07-02-2009 |
20090249092 | SUPPLY MARGINING METHOD AND APPARATUS - In accordance with some embodiments, margining routines to determine acceptable voltage command values for specific CPU implementations at one or more different operating levels may be provided. | 10-01-2009 |
20090249097 | OPTIMIZING PERFORMANCE AND POWER CONSUMPTION DURING MEMORY POWER DOWN STATE - Methods and apparatus relating to optimization of performance and/or power consumption during memory power down state are described. In an embodiment, a memory controller may include logic to cause one or more ranks of a DIMM to enter a clock enable slow mode. Other embodiments are also described. | 10-01-2009 |
