20130117509 | TECHNIQUE TO SHARE INFORMATION AMONG DIFFERENT CACHE COHERENCY DOMAINS - A technique to enable information sharing among agents within different cache coherency domains. In one embodiment, a graphics device may use one or more caches used by one or more processing cores to store or read information, which may be accessed by one or more processing cores in a manner that does not affect programming and coherency rules pertaining to the graphics device. | 05-09-2013 |
20130173902 | SPLIT DEEP POWER DOWN OF I/O MODULE - I/O logic can be separated into critical and non-critical portions, with the non-critical portions being powered down during processor idle. The I/O logic is separated into gate logic and ungated logic, where the ungated logic continues to be powered during a processor deep sleep state, and the gated logic is powered off during the deep sleep state. A power control unit can trigger the shutting down of the I/O logic. | 07-04-2013 |

In one embodiment, a graphics device may use one or more caches used by one or more processing cores to store or read information, which may be accessed by one or more processing cores in a manner that does not affect programming and coherency rules pertaining to the graphics device. | 08-15-2013 |
20140136797 | TECHNIQUE TO SHARE INFORMATION AMONG DIFFERENT CACHE COHERENCY DOMAINS - A technique to enable information sharing among agents within different cache coherency domains. In one embodiment, a graphics device may use one or more caches used by one or more processing cores to store or read information, which may be accessed by one or more processing cores in a manner that does not affect programming and coherency rules pertaining to the graphics device. | 05-15-2014 |
20140258760 | Controlling Operating Voltage Of A Processor - In an embodiment, a processor includes a core domain with a plurality of cores and a power controller having a first logic to receive a first request to increase an operating voltage of a first core of the core domain to a second voltage, to instruct a voltage regulator to increase the operating voltage to an interim voltage, and to thereafter instruct the voltage regulator to increase the operating voltage to the second voltage. Other embodiments are described and claimed. | 09-11-2014 |
20140281380 | EXECUTION CONTEXT SWAP BETWEEN HETEROGENOUS FUNCTIONAL HARDWARE UNITS - Remapping technologies for execution context swap between heterogeneous functional hardware units are described. A computing system includes multiple registers configured to store remote contexts of functional units. A mapping table maps the remote context to the functional units. An execution unit is configured to execute a remapping tool that intercepts an operation to access a remote context of a first functional unit of the plurality of functional units that is taken offline. The remapping tool determines that the first functional unit is remapped to a second functional unit using the mapping table. The operation is performed to access the remote context that is remapped to the second functional unit. The first functional unit and the second functional unit may be heterogeneous functional units. | 09-18-2014 |
20140325247 | CONTROLLING POWER AND PERFORMANCE IN A SYSTEM AGENT OF A PROCESSOR - In an embodiment, a processor includes a core to execute instructions, an agent to perform an operation independently of the core, a fabric to couple the core and agent and including a plurality of domains and a logic to receive isochronous parameter information from the agent and environmental information of a platform and to generate first and second values, and a power controller to control a frequency of the domains based at least in part on the first and second values. Other embodiments are described and claimed. | 10-30-2014 |
20150177801 | NORTH COMPLEX/SOUTH COMPLEX INTERFACE - Embodiments including systems, methods, and apparatuses associated providing an interface between a north complex and a south complex of a system on a chip (SoC). In embodiments, the north complex may include a microcontroller in an input signal requirement. A power-on control block may be coupled with the microcontroller, and the power-on control block may be configured to receive a control signal from a component of the south complex, and alter the control signal based at least in part on the input signal requirement of the microcontroller. | 06-25-2015 |
20150178091 | CONTEXT SAVE AND RESTORE - Processor context save latency is reduced by only restoring context registers with saved state that differs from the reset value of registers. A system agent monitors access to the design blocks and sets a dirty bit to indicate which design block has registers that have changed since the last context save. During a context save operation, the system agent bypasses design blocks that have not had context changes since the latest context save operation. During a context restore operation the system agent does not restore the context registers with saved context values that are equal to the reset value of the context register. | 06-25-2015 |
