  • Patent number: 11971754
    Abstract: Embodiments are generally directed to a flexible overlapping display. An embodiment of a mobile device includes a processor to process data for the mobile device, a bendable and foldable display screen, one or more device sensors to sense an orientation of the mobile device, and one or more display sensors to sense a current arrangement of the display screen. The processor is to identify one or more portions of the display screen that are visible to a user based at least in part on data from the one or more device sensors and the one or more display sensors.

  • Publication number: 20240118942
    Abstract: Apparatuses, methods and storage medium for computing including determination of work placement on processor cores are disclosed herein. In embodiments, an apparatus may include one or more processors, devices, and/or circuitry to identify a favored core of the processor cores. The one or more processors, devices, and/or circuitry may be configured to determine whether to migrate a thread to or from the favored core. In some embodiments, the determination may be by a process executed by a driver and/or by an algorithm executed by a power control unit of the processor.

  • Publication number: 20240103914
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a processor includes: a plurality of cores to execute instructions; at least one monitor coupled to the plurality of cores to measure at least one of power information, temperature information, or scalability information; and a control circuit coupled to the at least one monitor. Based at least in part on the at least one of the power information, the temperature information, or the scalability information, the control circuit is to notify an operating system that one or more of the plurality of cores are to transition to a forced idle state in which non-affinitized workloads are prevented from being scheduled. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Patent number: 11899599
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses relating to hardware control of processor performance levels are described. In one embodiment, a processor includes a plurality of logical processing elements; and a power management circuit to change a highest non-guaranteed performance level and a highest guaranteed performance level for each of the plurality of logical processing elements, and set a notification in a status register when the highest non-guaranteed performance level is changed to a new highest non-guaranteed performance level.

  • Patent number: 11892969
    Abstract: Apparatuses, methods and storage medium for providing access from outside a multicore processor System on Chip (SoC) are disclosed herein. In embodiments, an SoC may include a memory to store a plurality of embedded values correspondingly associated with a plurality of architecturally identical cores. Each embedded value may indicate a default voltage for a respective one of the plurality of architecturally identical cores. In embodiments, an apparatus may include one or more processors, devices, and/or circuitry to provide access from outside the multicore processor SoC to individually configure voltages of the plurality of architecturally identical cores to values that are different than the values of the default voltages. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
