Abstract: An apparatus and method for efficiently managing performance and power consumption among replicated functional blocks of an integrated circuit despite different circuit behavior amongst the functional blocks due to manufacturing variations. An integrated circuit includes multiple replicated functional blocks, each being a semiconductor die with a corresponding communication fabric for routing packets. A second functional block placed between a first functional block and a third functional block routes packets to destinations from at least the first and the third functional blocks, and provides higher performance than the first and the third functional blocks due to semiconductor manufacturing variations. A power manager assigns a single power supply voltage to the replicated functional blocks, and assigns a target clock frequency to the first and the third functional blocks. The power manager assigns another clock frequency greater than the target clock frequency to the second functional block.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for efficiently performance among replicated functional blocks of an integrated circuit despite different circuit behavior amongst the functional blocks due to manufacturing variations. An integrated circuit includes multiple replicated functional blocks, each being a semiconductor die with an instantiated copy of particular integrated circuitry for processing a work block. One or more of the functional blocks of the integrated circuit belong in a different performance category or bin than other functional blocks due to manufacturing variations across semiconductor dies. A scheduler assigns work blocks to the functional blocks based on whether a functional block is from a high-performance bin and whether a workload of a work block is a computation intensive workload. The scheduler assigns work blocks work blocks marked as having a memory access intensive workload to functional blocks from a lower performance bin.

Abstract: A system and method for determining power-performance state transition thresholds in a computing system. A processor comprises several functional blocks and a power manager. Each of the functional blocks produces data corresponding to an activity level associated with the respective functional block. The power manager determines activity levels of the functional blocks and compares the activity level of a given functional block to a threshold to determine if a power-performance state (P-state) transition is indicated. The threshold is determined in part on a current P-state of the given functional block. When the current P-state of the given functional block is relatively high, the threshold activity level to transition to a higher P-state is higher than it would be if the current P-state were relatively low. The power manager is further configured to determine the thresholds based in part on one or more of a type of circuit being monitored and a type of workload being executed.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for efficiently managing power consumption among multiple, replicated functional blocks of an integrated circuit. An integrated circuit includes multiple, replicated functional blocks that use separate power domains. Data of a given type is stored in an interleaved manner among at least two of the multiple functional blocks. In one implementation, a prior static allocation determines that only a subset of the functional blocks store the data of the given type. In another implementation, each of the functional blocks stores the data of the given type, and when an idle state has occurred, data of the given type is moved between the multiple functional blocks until one or more functional blocks no longer store data of the given type. When a transition to the idle state has occurred, the functional blocks that do not store the data of the given type are transitioned to a sleep state.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for efficiently managing memory bandwidth within a communication fabric. A computing system includes multiple clients, a display controller, and a communication fabric that transfers data between the multiple clients, the display controller, and a memory subsystem. A control circuit with power management circuitry determines that one or more conditions are satisfied for changing a power-performance state (P-state) of the memory subsystem. The control circuit asserts indications on a sideband interface specifying to the communication fabric that the display controller is to have an increased bandwidth of data transfer between the display controller and the memory subsystem. Using the increased bandwidth provided by the communication fabric, the display controller prefetches display data from a frame buffer of the memory subsystem prior to the P-state change. Afterward, the memory subsystem performs the P-state change and the corresponding training of the memory interface.

The disclosed systems further modify the digital image by positioning the first object within the first perspective in accordance with the modified alignment.
