    Abstract: When a processor in a computer system is placed in a low power mode, power consumption of the computer system may be further reduced by reducing power consumption of one or more components of a memory coupled to the processor and by reducing power consumption of one or more components of a controller device coupled to the memory. The processor and the controller device may share the memory.

    Abstract: A system and method for throttling a slave component of a computer system to reduce an overall temperature of the computing system upon receiving a first signal is disclosed. The first signal may be from a master component indicating that a temperature for the master component has exceeded its threshold temperature. The slave component or the master component may be a central processing unit, a graphics memory and controller hub, or a central processing unit memory controller hub. The slave component may send a second signal to indicate that a temperature for the slave component has exceeded its temperature. The master component would then initiate throttling of the master component to reduce the overall temperature of the computing system. The master component may be throttled to a degree less than the slave component. A first component may be designated the master component and the second component may be designated the slave component based on a selection policy. The selection policy may be received from a user through a graphical user interface. The selection policy may be based on an action being performed by the computing system.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to graphics rendering in which Z-buffering tests are performed at the front of the rendering pipeline. Particularly, Z-buffering test logic at the front of the rendering pipeline is coupled to a render cache memory, which includes a Z-buffer, such that Z-buffering can be accomplished at the front of the rendering pipeline.

    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: An embodiment may be an apparatus comprising a link coupled with a memory, and circuitry coupled with the link to calculate the amount of memory access idle time, determine if memory access idle time is sufficient to change to a self-refresh state, and change to a self-refresh state based on memory access idle time without explicit notification from a processor regarding the processor power state. Another embodiment may be a method for memory to enter self-refresh comprising calculating the amount of memory access idle time, determining if memory access idle time is sufficient to change to a self-refresh state, and changing to a self-refresh state based on memory access idle time without explicit notification from a processor regarding the processor power state. Various other embodiments systems, methods, machine readable mediums and apparatuses may provide similar functionality to these exemplary embodiments.
