Abstract: Examples include techniques to reduce power consumption for a distributed computational model mapped onto a multi-processing node system. Examples are described of processing nodes relaying indicator information to enable clock gate circuitry to determine whether or not to gate a clock to stall consuming compute circuitry based on availability of data to consume. Examples are also described of processing nodes relaying indicator information to enable clock gate circuitry to determine whether or not to gate a clock to stall producing compute circuitry based on available buffer capacity at a consuming compute circuitry.
