Abstract: Embodiments described herein may include apparatus, systems, techniques, and/or processes that are directed to optimizing memory frequency based on the bandwidth and latency needs of heterogeneous processing cores in a computer system. According to various embodiments, adjustments to the frequency of memory may be applied differently depending on the type of core requesting more bandwidth and/or faster response. According to various embodiments, the frequency is increased more sparingly for energy-efficient cores, while the frequency is increased more generously for high-performance cores. Additionally, when memory traffic decreases, the frequency of memory is decreased more generously when the previous request for higher frequency was from an energy-efficient core than a high-performance core. By considering the type of core that is requesting more bandwidth and/or faster response, performance and power consumption may be more optimally balanced.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention include an apparatus and method for dynamically choosing an optimum power state. In some embodiments, the optimum power state may be determined from historical information about the various power states that any of the embodiments of the apparatus or a system equipped with embodiments of the apparatus or operating embodiments of the method may encounter. Some embodiments may generate registers to maintain information regarding the various power states. In some embodiments, power management logic may determine the optimum power state based upon this information. Other embodiments are described.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method and apparatus for matching data types of operands in an instruction. A type code of an operand used by the instruction is determined. An attribute value of a storage element which corresponds to the operand is read from a speculative array. This attribute value is then compared with the type code.
