Patent number: 11847008Abstract: Technologies for providing efficient detection of idle poll loops include a compute device. The compute device has a compute engine that includes a plurality of cores and a memory. The compute engine is to determine a ratio of unsuccessful operations to successful operations over a predefined time period of a core of the plurality cores that is assigned to continually poll, within the predefined time period, a memory address for a change in status and determine whether the determined ratio satisfies a reference ratio of unsuccessful operations to successful operations. The reference ratio is indicative of a change in the operation of the assigned core. The compute engine is further to selectively increase or decrease a power usage of the assigned core as a function of whether the determined ratio satisfies the reference ratio. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2018Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: David Hunt, Niall Power, Kevin Devey, Changzheng Wei, Bruce Richardson, Eliezer Tamir, Andrew Cunningham, Chris MacNamara, Nemanja Marjanovic, Rory Sexton, John Browne

Patent number: 11703933Abstract: Examples described herein provide for a first core to map a measurement of packet processing activity and operating parameters so that a second core can access the measurement of packet processing activity and potentially modify an operating parameter of the first core. The second core can modify operating parameters of the first core based on the measurement of packet processing activity. The first and second cores can be provisioned on start-up with a common key. The first and second cores can use the common key to encrypt or decrypt measurement of packet processing activity and operating parameters that are shared between the first and second cores. Accordingly, operating parameters of the first core can be modified by a different core while providing for secure modification of operating parameters.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2020Date of Patent: July 18, 2023Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Liang Ma, Weigang Li, Madhusudana Raghupatruni, Hongjun Ni, Xuekun Hu, Changzheng Wei, Chris MacNamara, John J.
