Hardware managed power collapse and clock wake-up for memory management units and distributed virtual memory networks

An apparatus for full-hardware management of power and clock domains related to a distributed virtual memory (DVM) network, comprising:

• a DVM initiator;
• a plurality of DVM targets;
• a DVM network coupled to the DVM initiator and the plurality of DVM targets, wherein the DVM network is configured to broadcast DVM operations from the DVM initiator to the plurality of DVM targets,
• wherein, based on a DVM operation in the DVM network being broadcasted to the plurality of DVM targets:
• a clock domain coupled to the DVM network or a DVM target of the plurality of DVM targets that is a target of the DVM operation is turned on,
• a frequency of the clock domain coupled to the DVM network or the DVM target of the plurality of DVM targets that is the target of the DVM operation is increased,
• a power domain coupled to the DVM target of the plurality of DVM targets that is the target of the DVM operation is turned on based on the power domain being turned off,
• the DVM operation to the DVM target of the plurality of DVM targets that is the target of the DVM operation is terminated based on the DVM target being turned off, or
• any combination thereof.

An apparatus for full-hardware management of power and clock domains related to a distributed virtual memory (DVM) network, comprising:

• means for transmitting, to a DVM network, a DVM operation;
• means for broadcasting, to a plurality of DVM targets, the DVM operation;
• and
• means for performing, based on the DVM operation being broadcasted to the plurality of DVM targets by the DVM network, one or more hardware functions comprising:
• turn on a clock domain coupled to the DVM network or a DVM target of the plurality of DVM targets that is a target of the DVM operation,
• increase a frequency of the clock domain coupled to the DVM network or the DVM target of the plurality of DVM targets that is the target of the DVM operation,
• turn on a power domain coupled to the DVM target of the plurality of DVM targets that is the target of the DVM operation based on the power domain being turned off,
• terminate the DVM operation to the DVM target of the plurality of DVM targets that is the target of the DVM operation based on the DVM target being turned off, or
• any combination thereof.
