Patent number: 9813998Abstract: Techniques to cause a point-to-point link between system components to engage in a negotiation process that may lead to the link transitioning from an active state in which data may be transmitted between system components to a low power state where data may not be transmitted. The negotiation process may occur between each pair of nodes within an electronic system that are interconnected via point-to-point link. The negotiation may ensure that there are no pending transactions or transactions that may occur within an upcoming period of time. Through this negotiation each component acknowledges and agrees to transition the link to the low power state.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2011Date of Patent: November 7, 2017Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Shaun M. Conrad, Robert J. Safranek, Selim Bilgin

Patent number: 9537665Abstract: To address the need for power management, the following facilitates maintaining power states in an efficient manner based at least in part on managing packets at different layers of an input/output interface that supports multiple layers. One specific example prevents a destructive event for link layer control logic because packets and information might have been lost or dropped due to a hang condition and/or a dropped packet. In yet another example of power management, this facilitates a low power platform state by preventing the loss of packets or data upon exiting a platform power state upon initiation of a link reset condition by preventing certain types of packets from reaching link layer controller logic.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2013Date of Patent: January 3, 2017Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Selim Bilgin, Lily P. Looi, Jeffrey C. Swanson

Patent number: 8027358Abstract: Techniques for dynamically adjusting point-to-point link width based, at least in part, on link conditions. When operating at full power and at the highest performance level, the full width of a point-to-point link may be utilized to transmit data between the end points. If the link is not fully utilized, a portion (e.g., one half or one quarter) of the link may remain active for communication purposes.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2006Date of Patent: September 27, 2011Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Robert J.
