CHIPLET STATE AWARE AND DYNAMIC VOLTAGE REGULATOR EVENT HANDLING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17944310 titled 'CHIPLET STATE AWARE AND DYNAMIC VOLTAGE REGULATOR EVENT HANDLING

Simplified Explanation

Embodiments described herein involve chiplet state aware and dynamic prioritization of voltage regulator event indication handling. An intelligent arbiter notifies chiplets of VR events in a dynamic priority scheme considering factors such as chiplet state, power consumption, transition time, outstanding VR requests, latency sensitivity, and more. The arbiter uses dynamic prioritization to maximize efficiency and minimize power consumption as chiplet states change during operation.

  • Chiplet state aware and dynamic prioritization of voltage regulator event indication handling
  • Intelligent arbiter notifies chiplets of VR events based on multiple factors

Dynamic prioritization maximizes efficiency and minimizes power consumption in chiplet systems, leading to improved performance and optimized operation.


Original Abstract Submitted

Embodiments described herein may include apparatus, systems, techniques or processes that are directed to chiplet state aware and dynamic prioritization of voltage regulator event indication handling. An intelligent arbiter notifies chiplets of VR events in a dynamic priority scheme that considers multiple factors such as chiplet state (for example, active, sleep, deep sleep, and the like), chiplet power consumption and time frame for transitioning to an active state, outstanding VR requests, chiplet latency sensitivity and the like in its prioritization of chiplet notifications. As chiplet states themselves are dynamic with a chiplet transitioning between multiple states during operation, the intelligent arbiter may also utilize a dynamic prioritization scheme to maximize efficiency and minimize power consumption.
