Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for implementing duplicated registers for access by initiators across multiple semiconductor dies are disclosed. A system includes multiple initiators on multiple semiconductor dies of a chiplet processor. One of the semiconductor dies is the master die, and this master die has copies of registers which can be accessed by the multiple initiators on the multiple semiconductor dies. When a given initiator on a given secondary die generates a register access, the register access is routed to the master die and a particular duplicate copy of the register maintained for the given secondary die. From the point of view of software, the multiple semiconductor dies appear as a single die, and the multiple initiators appear as a single initiator. Multiple types of registers can be maintained by the master die, with a flush register being one of the register types.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems and methods for performing efficient power management for a processing unit. A processing unit includes two partitions, each assigned to a respective power domain with operating parameters, and each with a respective direct memory access (DMA) engine. If a controller determines a task type of a received task indicates the task is to be processed by components of the second partition, then the controller assigns the task to the second partition and maintains the operational parameters of the first power domain for the components of the first partition or selects lower performance operational parameters of the first power domain. The processing unit accesses data stored in memory using a DMA engine and operational parameters of the second partition. Additionally, the second partition processes the task using the operational parameters of the second power domain.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for implementing a centralized interrupt controller to aggregate interrupts generated across multiple semiconductor dies are disclosed. A system includes multiple interrupt sources on multiple semiconductor dies. A centralized interrupt controller on one of the semiconductor dies receives and aggregates interrupts from the multiple interrupt sources on the multiple semiconductor dies. This facilitates a single transmission point for forwarding the interrupts to the processor and operating system responsible for handling interrupts. Each interrupt source embeds an ID when conveying an interrupt to the interrupt controller. This allows the interrupt controller to differentiate between the interrupt sources and to identify which source generated a given interrupt. The interrupt controller conveys an indication of the source of the interrupt to the processor when forwarding the interrupt to the processor.
