Abstract: In an embodiment, a processor includes multiple tiles, each including a core and a tile cache hierarchy. This tile cache hierarchy includes a first level cache, a mid-level cache (MLC) and a last level cache (LLC), and each of these caches is private to the tile. A controller coupled to the tiles includes a cache power control logic to receive utilization information regarding the core and the tile cache hierarchy of a tile and to cause the LLC of the tile to be independently power gated, based at least in part on this information. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are disclosed to optimize the latency and the power of a link operating inside a processor-based system. The apparatus and method include a latency meter built into a queue that does not rely on a queue-depth threshold. The apparatus and method also include feedback logic that optimizes power reduction around an increasing latency target to react to sluggish re-provisioning behavior imposed by the physical properties of the link.
