Abstract
Methods and apparatus relating to techniques for determining idle power state are described. In an embodiment, power configuration logic determines a power state configuration for a portion of a processor. The power state configuration corresponds to a plurality of settings for operation of the portion of the processor during an idle period. Moreover, the power configuration logic determines the power state configuration based at least in part on one or more (e.g., runtime) workload measurements. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.
Claims25
An apparatus comprising:
- power configuration logic, at least a portion of which is in hardware, to determine a power state configuration for a portion of a processor, wherein the power state configuration is to correspond to a plurality of power state settings for operation of the portion of the processor during an idle period,
- wherein the power configuration logic is to determine the power state configuration based at least in part on one or more runtime workload measurements.
A method comprising:
- determining, at power configuration logic, a power state configuration for a portion of a processor, wherein the power state configuration corresponds to a plurality of power state settings for operation of the portion of the processor during an idle period,
- wherein the power configuration logic determines the power state configuration based at least in part on one or more runtime workload measurements.
One or more computer-readable medium comprising one or more instructions that when executed on at least one processor configure the at least one processor to perform one or more operations to:
- cause determination, at power configuration logic, a power state configuration for a portion of the processor, wherein the power state configuration corresponds to a plurality of power state settings for operation of the portion of the processor during an idle period,
- wherein the power configuration logic determines the power state configuration based at least in part on one or more runtime workload measurements.
