Instruction and logic for parallel multi-step power management flow
Abstract:
A parallel multi-step power management flow apparatus and method for using the same are disclosed. In one embodiment, an integrated circuit comprises a plurality of processing entities to execute operations, a power controller coupled to the plurality of processing entities to control power management for the plurality of processing entities, and a plurality of agents, where each of the plurality of agents is operable to perform a power control flow for one of the processing entities by separately scheduling, using a scheduler, and executing a plurality of power control flow phases in response to a plurality of requests received from the power controller, and each agent is operable to send a plurality of acknowledgements, one acknowledgement for each phase, upon completion of the plurality of power control flow phases.
