    Abstract: An interface between an accelerated graphics port graphics controller (AGP-GC) and a core controller to prevent entry into a low power state from interfering with transfers to or from the AGP-GC that have been requested but not completed. The core controller can communicate to the AGP-GC an intent to enter a low power state, while the AGP-GC can communicate to the core controller the busy status of the AGP-GC. When the AGP-GC recieves notice of an intent to enter a low power state, it can stop issuing requests to the core controller. When the core controller detects that the AGP-GC is busy, the core controller can postpone entry into the low power state until the AGP-GC completes any requests that are in progress. In an alternate use of the interface, if the AGP-GC wishes to make a request during a low power state, it can signal the core controller of this need by indicating a busy status, which can trigger the core controller to initiate an exit from the low power state.

    Abstract translation: 加速图形端口图形控制器(AGP-GC)和核心控制器之间的接口,以防止进入低功率状态,干扰来自AGP-GC的请求但尚未完成的传输。 核心控制器可以与AGP-GC进行通信,意图进入低功率状态,而AGP-GC可以与核心控制器通信AGP-GC的忙碌状态。 当AGP-GC接收到进入低功率状态的意图时,可以停止向核心控制器发出请求。 当核心控制器检测到AGP-GC正忙时,核心控制器可以推迟进入低功率状态,直到AGP-GC完成任何正在进行的请求。 在接口的替代使用中,如果AGP-GC希望在低功率状态期间发出请求,则可以通过指示忙状态来向核心控制器通知该核心控制器,这可以触发核心控制器发起退出 低功率状态。

    Abstract: In one embodiment of the invention, an integrated device is described that employs a mechanism to control power consumption of a graphics memory controller hub (GMCH) through both voltage and frequency adjustment of clock signal received from a clock generator. The GMCH comprises a graphics core and a circuit to alter operational behavior, such as the frequency of a render clock signal supplied to the graphics core. The circuit is adapted to monitor idleness of the graphics core and reduce a frequency level of the render clock signal if the idleness exceeds a determined percentage of time.

    Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a triggering event is initiated to place a processor in a low power state. The processor may or may not flush a cache upon entering the low power state depending on a power status signal. The power status signal may indicate the relative priority of power reduction associated with placing the processor in the low power state without first flushing the cache versus an increase in soft error rate in the cache associated with reducing the voltage in the low power state.

    Abstract: A peripheral device having a circuit to detect the power management state of a central processor, a first interface to receive data, and a second interface to couple the peripheral device to the central processor. The peripheral device prevents data transfers that would cause the central processor to change from a second power management state to a first power management state if the central processor is in the second power management state.
