  • Selecting between basic and global persistent flush modes
    Patent number: 11966339
    Abstract: Selecting between basic and global persistent flush modes is described. In accordance with the described techniques, a system includes a data fabric in electronic communication with at least one cache and a controller configured to select between operating in a global persistent flush mode and a basic persistent flush mode based on an available flushing latency of the system, control the at least one cache to flush dirty data to the data fabric in response to a flush event trigger while operating in the global persistent flush mode, and transmit a signal to switch control to an application to flush the dirty data from the at least one cache to the data fabric while operating in the basic persistent flush mode.

  • Runtime Flushing to Persistency in Heterogenous Systems
    Publication number: 20240111682
    Abstract: Runtime flushing to persistency in heterogenous systems is described. In accordance with the described techniques, a system may include a persistent memory in electronic communication with at least one cache and a controller configured to command the at least one cache to flush dirty data to the persistent memory in response to a dirtiness of the at least one cache reaching a cache dirtiness threshold.

  • CHANGING POWER LIMITS BASED ON DEVICE STATE
    Publication number: 20160266629
    Abstract: A method includes adjusting a maximum skin temperature threshold of a device based on a device state, adjusting a power limit for the device based on the adjusted maximum skin temperature threshold, and operating the device based on the adjusted power limit. A processor includes a processing unit and a power management controller to adjust a maximum skin temperature threshold based on a device state and adjust a power limit for the processing unit based on the adjusted maximum skin temperature threshold.
