Publication number: 20240143056Abstract: A multi-die semiconductor package includes a first integrated circuit (IC) die having a first intrinsic performance level and a second IC die having a second intrinsic performance level different from the first intrinsic performance level. A power management controller distributes, based on a determined die performance differential between the first IC die and the second IC die, a level of power allocated to the semiconductor chip package between the first IC die and the second IC die. In this manner, the first IC die receives and operates at a first level of power resulting in performance exceeding its intrinsic performance level. The second IC die receives and operates at a second level of power resulting in performance below its intrinsic performance level, thereby reducing performance differentials between the IC dies.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 5, 2023Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Greg SADOWSKI, Sriram Sundarm, Stephen Kushnir, William C.

Patent number: 9804996Abstract: Some die-stacked memories will contain a logic layer in addition to one or more layers of DRAM (or other memory technology). This logic layer may be a discrete logic die or logic on a silicon interposer associated with a stack of memory dies. Additional circuitry/functionality is placed on the logic layer to implement functionality to perform various computation operations. This functionality would be desired where performing the operations locally near the memory devices would allow increased performance and/or power efficiency by avoiding transmission of data across the interface to the host processor.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2012Date of Patent: October 31, 2017Assignee: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.Inventors: James M.

Patent number: 9360918Abstract: A multi-core data processor includes multiple data processor cores and a circuit. The multiple data processor cores each include a power state controller having a first input for receiving an idle signal, a second input for receiving a release signal, a third input for receiving a control signal, and an output for providing a current power state. In response to the idle signal, the power state controller causes a corresponding data processor core to enter an idle state. In response to the release signal, the power state controller changes the current power state from the idle state to an active state in dependence on the control signal. The circuit is coupled to each of the multiple data processor cores for providing the control signal in response to current power states in the multiple data processor cores.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2012Date of Patent: June 7, 2016Assignee: ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES, INC.Inventors: Srilatha Manne, Sanjay Pant, Youngtaek Kim, Michael J.
