    • An apparatus and method for dynamically adjusting the power/performance characteristics of a memory subsystem. Since the memory subsystem access requirements are heavily dependent on the application being executed, static methods of enabling or disabling the individual memory system components (as are used in prior art) are less than optimal from a power consumption perspective. By dynamically tracking the behavior of the memory subsystem, the invention predicts the probability that the next event will have certain characteristics, such as whether it will result in a memory cycle that requires the attention of a cache memory, whether that memory cycle will result in a cache memory hit, and whether a DRAM page hit in main memory will occur if the requested data is not in one of the levels of cache memory. Based on these probabilities, the invention dynamically enables or disables components of the subsystem. By intelligently adjusting the state of these components, significant power savings are achieved without degradation in performance.
    • 一种用于动态调整存储器子系统的功率/性能特性的装置和方法。 由于存储器子系统访问要求在很大程度上取决于正在执行的应用程序,所以启用或禁用各个存储器系统组件(如现有技术中所使用的)的静态方法从功耗角度来看不是最佳的。 通过动态跟踪存储器子系统的行为,本发明预测下一个事件将具有某些特征的概率,例如它是否会导致需要高速缓冲存储器注意的存储器周期,该存储器周期是否会导致 高速缓冲存储器命中,以及如果请求的数据不在高速缓冲存储器的一个级别中,是否将在主存储器中命中DRAM页面。 基于这些概率,本发明动态地启用或禁用子系统的组件。 通过智能地调​​整这些组件的状态,可以实现显着的功率节省,而不会降低性能。
