    Abstract: Eine Einrichtung zum Regeln der Temperatur eines Bauelements, aufweisend: eine Steuereinrichtung, die mit dem Bauelement derart koppelbar ist, dass sie ein für die Temperatur des Bauelements repräsentatives Temperatursignal empfängt, wobei die Steuereinrichtung so ausgebildet ist, daß sie eine Übertragungsrate der von der Steuereinrichtung zu dem Bauelement übertragenen Daten und/oder der von dem Bauelement an der Steuereinrichtung angenommenen Daten in Abhängigkeit von der Temperatur des Bauelements steuert, wobei die Steuerung derart erfolgt, dass die Übertragungsrate bei einer höheren Temperatur geringer ist als bei einer niedrigeren Temperatur.

    Abstract: When a component, such as a memory device, exhibits an overtemperature condition (e.g., exceeds a first threshold value), the data transmission rate with respect to the component is reduced so as to lower its operating temperature. In one embodiment, this is achieved by changing the latency at which data packets are transmitted to and from the memory device in dependance on the temperature of the device. Controlling temperature in such a fashion allows for efficient use of the component over a large range of temperatures.

    Abstract: A novel method and apparatus to cache System Management Mode (SMM) data with other data to improve performance and reduce latency of SMM handler routines. This method and apparatus allows SMM data and non-SMM data to be distinguished in the cache without requiring extra cache bits which can add to the cost of implementation. Since SMM data and non-SMM data can coexist in the cache, there is no need for time consuming cache flush cycles when switching between the two modes. Since SMM data can be cached, performance of SMM routines are improved. This method and apparatus defines the SMRAM address range to be a range of addresses representable by the tag, but not directly corresponding to installed main memory. When accesses are made to SMRAM addresses, they are redirected to an unused portion of main memory. Protection mechanisms may be implemented to limit access to these SMRAM addresses when not in SMM.
