摘要： Various embodiments are generally directed recurringly cycling the driving of a platter media of a hard drive with a motor, allowing rotation of the platter media to slow only to a threshold rotational speed to balance power conservation with delays in accessing data. A method comprises driving platter media of a hard drive to rotate at a selected normal rotational speed, retrieving data stored on the platter media when the platter media rotates at the normal rotational speed, ceasing to drive the platter media to rotate to allow the platter media to rotate under rotational inertia imparted to the platter media, monitoring a current rotational speed of the platter media, and resuming driving the platter media to rotate based on the current rotational speed falling to a lower threshold rotational speed selected to be less than the normal rotational speed. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

摘要： An embodiment of the present invention is a technique to dynamically swap processor cores. A first core has a first instruction set. The first core executes a program at a first performance level. The first core stops executing the program when a triggering event occurs. A second core has a second instruction set compatible with the first instruction set and has a second performance level different than the first performance level. The second core is in a power down state when the first core is executing the program. A circuit powers up the second core after the first core stops executing the program such that the second core continues executing the program at the second performance level.

摘要： A bus utilization detection circuit and method. An input is configured to be coupled to a bus to detect bus events. A circuit coupled to the input determines a number of bus events during a first sample period to indicate a percent bus utilization. If the number of bus events during the first sample period meets a first predetermined threshold value, then an activity event is generated. In another embodiment, an activity event is generated only if during a second sample period, the number of first sample periods for which the percent bus utilization meets the first threshold value meets a second threshold value.

摘要： A method and apparatus for operating an integrated in a reduced-power consumption state are described. The apparatus comprises power-reduction logic which, to place the integrated circuit in the reduced-power consumption state, gates a clock signal to both first and second sets of functional units within the integrated circuit. The first set of functional units is distinguished in that it is required to perform cache coherency operations within integrated circuit. The apparatus includes an input which is coupled to receive a signal indicating a memory access, to a memory resource accessible by the integrated circuit, by a further device external to the integrated circuit. In response to the assertion of this signal, the power-reduction logic propagates the clock signal to the first set of functional units, to enable this set of functional units to perform a cache coherency operation which may be necessitated by the memory access by the external device.

摘要： An apparatus and method for controlling the stopping of the clock signal utilized by the processing unit of a computer system comprises the use of a novel external pin which can be enabled to initiate a sequence of events that results in the halting of the internal clock signal. The invention includes a microcode engine that responds to the/assertion of the external pin by executing a sequence of steps which stops the current instruction on an instruction boundary. A logic circuit then generates a signal that masks the clock signal produced by the system's phase-locked loop. An interrupt mechanism is also utilized to prioritize the occurrence of the external signal among other system interrupts. The interrupt mechanism insures that the processor never has its clock stopped in the middle of a bus cycle.
