摘要： In an embodiment, a system on a chip (SOC) includes a component that remains powered when the remainder of the SOC is powered off. The component may include a sensor capture unit to capture data from various device sensors, and may filter the captured sensor data. Responsive to the filtering, the component may wake up the remainder of the SOC to permit the processing. The component may store programmable configuration data, matching the state at the time the SOC was most recently powered down, for the other components of the SOC, in order to reprogram them after wakeup. In some embodiments, the component may be configured to wake up the memory controller within the SOC and the path to the memory controller, in order to write the data to memory. The remainder of the SOC may remain powered down.

摘要： In one embodiment, a system includes a memory that includes a live section and a spares section. The live section may be mapped to the address space of the system, and may be accessed in response to memory operations. Once an entry in the live section has been detected as failed, an entry is in the spares section may be allocated to replace the failed entry. During subsequent accesses to the failed entry, the allocated entry may be used instead. In an embodiment, the failed entry may be coded with an indication of the allocated entry, to redirect to the allocated entry. In one implementation, for example, the failed entry may be coded with N copies of a pointer to the allocated entry, each copy protected by corresponding ECC.

摘要： Systems, apparatuses, and methods for improved memory controller power management techniques. An apparatus includes control logic, one or more memory controller(s), and one or more memory devices. If the amount of traffic and/or queue depth for a given memory controller falls below a threshold, the clock frequency supplied to the given memory controller and corresponding memory device(s) is reduced. In one embodiment, the clock frequency is reduced by one half If the amount of traffic and/or queue depth rises above the threshold, then the clock frequency is increased back to its original frequency. The clock frequency may be adjusted by doubling the divisor used by a clock divider, which enables fast switching between the original rate and the reduced rate. This in turn allows for more frequent switching between the low power and normal power states, resulting in the memory controller and memory device operating more efficiently.

摘要： In an embodiment, a system includes a power management unit (PMU), a non-volatile memory, a volatile memory, and a processor. The PMU may be configured to generate a power supply voltage, change a state of a status signal responsive to an event, and reduce a voltage level of the power supply voltage responsive to a predetermined period of time elapsing from detecting the event. The system may be configured to transition from a first to a second operating mode responsive to the change of the state of the status signal, and cancel pending commands to the non-volatile memory responsive to the transition to the second operating mode. The non-volatile memory may be configured to complete active commands prior the predetermined period of time elapsing.

摘要： In an embodiment, a system on a chip (SOC) may include one or more central processing units (CPUs), a memory controller, and a circuit configured to remain powered on when the rest of the SOC is powered down. The circuit may be configured to receive audio samples and match those audio samples against a predetermined pattern. The circuit may operate according to a first clock during the time that the rest of the SOC is powered down. In response to detecting the predetermined pattern in the samples, the circuit may cause the memory controller and processors to power up. During the power up process, a second clock having one or more better characteristics than the first clock may become available. The circuit may switch to the second clock while preserving the samples, or losing at most one sample, or no more than a threshold number of samples.

摘要： An embodiment of a system may include a plurality of media units, a processor, and circuitry. Each media unit may be configured to execute one or more commands to process a display image. The processor may be configured to store a plurality of media processing commands in a queue. The circuitry may be configured to retrieve a first media processing command from the queue and send the first media processing command to a first media unit. The circuitry may also be configured to retrieve a second media processing from the queue and send the second media processing command to a second media unit in response to receiving an interrupt from the first media unit. The circuitry may then copy data from the first media unit to the second media unit in response to receiving the interrupt from the first media unit.

摘要： In an embodiment, a system includes an interrupt controller, one or more CPUs coupled to the interrupt controller, a communication fabric, one or more peripheral devices configured to generate interrupts to be transmitted to the interrupt controller, and one or more interrupt message circuits coupled to the peripheral devices. The interrupt message circuits are configured to generate interrupt messages to convey the interrupts over the fabric to the interrupt controller. Some of the interrupts are level-sensitive interrupts, and the interrupt message circuits are configured to transmit level-sensitive interrupt messages to the interrupt controller. At least one of the interrupts is edge-triggered. The system is configured to convert the edge-triggered interrupt to a level-sensitive interrupt so that interrupts may be handled in the same fashion.

摘要： In one embodiment, a system includes a non-volatile memory that may serve as both the main memory system and the backing store (or persistent storage). In some embodiments, the non-volatile memory is divided into a main memory portion and a persistent portion. Data in the main memory operation may be encrypted using one or more first keys, and data in the persistent portion may be encrypted using one or more second keys, in an embodiment. The volatile behavior of main memory may be implemented by discarding the one or more first keys in a power down event or other event that indicates a loss of main memory data, while the one or more second keys may be retained. In one embodiment, the physical address space of the non-volatile memory may be a mapping from a second physical address space that is used within the system.
