Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided for improving yield and frequency performance of integrated circuit processors, such as multiple-core processors. In an example, an apparatus can include a plurality of clock buffers, each clock buffer of the plurality of clock buffers configured to receive a first clock signal and distribute a plurality of second clock signals, a one-time programmable locate critical path mechanism configured provide a plurality of indications to enable or disable a delay of each clock buffer of the plurality of clock buffers, and a power management control circuit configured to over-ride one or more of the plurality of indications in a first non-test mode of operation of the apparatus and to not over-ride the one or more indications in a second non-test mode of operation of the apparatus.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a processor includes processing cores to execute instructions; and throttling logic. The throttling logic is to: determine an average capacitance score for execution events in a sliding window; perform frequency throttling when the average capacitance score exceeds a throttling threshold; determine a count of frequency throttling instances; and in response to a determination that the count of frequency throttling instances exceeds a maximum throttling value, increase the throttling threshold and concurrently reduce a baseline frequency. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: A local power control arbiter is provided to interface with a global power control unit of a processing platform having a plurality of processing entities. The local power control arbiter controls a local processing unit of the processing platform. The local power arbiter has an interface to receive from the global power control unit, a local performance limit allocated to the local processing unit depending on a global power control evaluation and processing circuitry to determine any change to one or more processing conditions prevailing in the local processing unit on a timescale shorter than a duration for which the local performance limit is applied to the local processing unit by the global power control unit and to select a performance level for the local processing unit depending on both the local performance limit and the determined change, if any, to the prevailing processing conditions on the local processing unit.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a processor includes processing engines to execute instructions and power limit logic. The power limit logic is to: in response to a plurality of power spikes, perform a number of soft throttling events and a number of hard throttling events in a first processing engine; determine a ratio of the soft throttling events to the hard throttling events; compare the determined ratio to a desired goal; and adjust one or more throttling parameters in response to a determination that the determined ratio does not match the desired goal. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
