Abstract: In one embodiment, a system employing selective noise tolerance modes of memory operation in accordance with one aspect of the present description can reduce levels of memory operation power consumption as compared to those achieved by many prior devices. In one embodiment, each noise tolerance mode has an associated level of input power to a memory. For example, in one embodiment, the greater the degree of tolerance for noise in the data of a workload being processed, the greater the reduction in memory input power and the greater the resultant reduction in power consumption. Other aspects and advantages are described.
