    Abstract: Embodiments described herein are generally directed to improvements relating to power, latency, bandwidth and/or performance issues relating to GPU processing/caching. According to one embodiment, a state of multiple intellectual property (IP) cores that have access to a common cache via a central fabric is observed. Responsive to the observed state being indicative of performance of a standalone workload by a first IP core of the multiple IP cores, the common cache is treated as a local cache of the first IP core by powering off the central fabric and causing the first IP core to access the common cache via a low power access path between the first IP core and the common cache that is outside of the central fabric.
