  • Publication number: 20230111984
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for adaptive power profiling in a baseband processing system. In an exemplary embodiment, an apparatus includes one or more processing engines. Each processing engine performs at least one data processing function. The apparatus also includes an adaptive power profile (APP) and a job manager that receives job requests for data processing. The job manager allocates the data processing associated with the job requests to the processing engines based on the adaptive power profile. The adaptive power profile identifies a first group of the processing engines to perform the data processing associated with the job requests, and identifies remaining processing engines to be set to a low power mode.

  • Patent number: 10740256
    Abstract: A method utilizing a system encompassing a free pool buffer; a deadlock avoidance buffer; and a controller communicatively coupled to the free pool buffer and the deadlock avoidance buffer to reorder out-of-order responses to fetch requests into correct order by: receiving a fetch request on behalf of a consumer; allocating space first in the free pool buffer and when such space is not available then allocating space in a division associated with the consumer in the deadlock avoidance buffer. Issuing segment(s) of the fetch request including associated tag(s) to one of one or more memories; writing response data for each of the segment(s) to the allocated space in the free buffer or the deadlock avoidance buffer according to each of the associated tag(s); and transferring the response data to the consumer according to an entry in an ordering first-in, first-out buffer and an entry in a pending request array.
