  • Publication number: 20220342806
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a system may support programmable hashing of address bits at a plurality of levels of granularity to map memory addresses to memory controllers and ultimately at least to memory devices. The hashing may be programmed to distribute pages of memory across the memory controllers, and consecutive blocks of the page may be mapped to physically distant memory controllers. In an embodiment, address bits may be dropped from each level of granularity, forming a compacted pipe address to save power within the memory controller. In an embodiment, a memory folding scheme may be employed to reduce the number of active memory devices and/or memory controllers in the system when the full complement of memory is not needed.

  • Patent number: 11467655
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed that pertain to synchronizing power states between integrated circuit dies. A system includes an integrated circuit that includes a plurality of integrated circuit dies coupled together. A particular integrated circuit die may include a primary power manager circuit and one or more remaining integrated circuit dies include respective secondary power manager circuits. The primary power manager circuit is configured to issue a transition request to the secondary power manager circuits to transition their integrated circuit dies from a first power state to a second power state. A given secondary power manager circuit is configured to receive the transition request, transition its integrated circuit die to the second power state, and issue an acknowledgement to the primary power manager circuit that its integrated circuit die has been transitioned to the second power state.

  • Patent number: 11442528
    Abstract: An electronic device may include a display panel to display images based on corresponding image data and an image source to pre-render a flip-book including a first image frame for display at a first target presentation time and a second image frame for display at a second target presentation time. The electronic device may also include a display pipeline coupled between the display panel and the image source having image data processing circuitry to process image data for display. The electronic device may also include a controller to instruct the display pipeline to process image data, to determine a power-on time based on a target presentation time, and to instruct the display pipeline to power-gate the image data processing circuitry upon completion of the processing of image data and until the power-on time is reached.
