Described herein are various embodiments of reducing dynamic power consumption within a processor device. One embodiment provides a technique for dynamic link width adjustment based on throughput demand for client of an interconnect fabric. One embodiment provides for a parallel processor comprising an interconnect fabric including a dynamically configurable bus widths and frequencies.

Interconnect fabric link width reduction to reduce instantaneous power consumption

A mechanism is described for facilitating dynamic cache allocation in computing devices in computing devices. A method of embodiments, as described herein, includes facilitating monitoring one or more bandwidth consumptions of one or more clients accessing a cache associated with a processor; computing one or more bandwidth requirements of the one or more clients based on the one or more bandwidth consumptions; and allocating one or more portions of the cache to the one or more clients in accordance with the one or more bandwidth requirements.

Dynamic allocation of cache based on instantaneous bandwidth consumption at computing devices

Methods and apparatus relating to techniques for avoiding cache lookup for cold cache. In an example, an apparatus comprises logic, at least partially comprising hardware logic, to collect user information for a user of a data processing device, generate a user profile for the user of the data processing device from the user information, and set a power profile a processor in the data processing device using the user profile. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.

Processor power management

A mechanism is described for facilitating smart compression/decompression schemes at computing devices. A method of embodiments, as described herein, includes unifying a first compression scheme relating to three-dimensional (3D) content and a second compression scheme relating to media content into a unified compression scheme to perform compression of one or more of the 3D content and the media content relating to a processor including a graphics processor.

Smart compression/decompression schemes for efficiency and superior results

In accordance with some embodiments, the render rate is varied across and/or up and down the display screen. This may be done based on where the user is looking in order to reduce power consumption and/or increase performance. Specifically the screen display is separated into regions, such as quadrants. Each of these regions is rendered at a rate determined by at least one of what the user is currently looking at, what the user has looked at in the past and/or what it is predicted that the user will look at next. Areas of less focus may be rendered at a lower rate, reducing power consumption in some embodiments.

Regional adjustment of render rate

One embodiment provides an apparatus comprising a memory device configured to store a page table that includes a set of page table entries and a graphics processing cluster array including a plurality of graphics multiprocessors, the plurality of graphics multiprocessors coupled via a data interconnect. The graphics multiprocessor of the plurality of graphics multiprocessors includes a translation lookaside buffer (TLB) coupled with the memory device, the TLB to cache a first page table entry of the set of page table entries, the first page table entry to indicate that a first virtual page is a valid page that is cleared to a clear color and circuitry to bypass an access to the memory device for the first virtual page and determine a color associated with the first virtual page based on the indication that the first virtual page is a valid page that is cleared to the clear color.

Memory access compression using clear code for tile pixels

One embodiment provides circuitry coupled with cache memory and a memory interface, the circuitry to compress compute data at multiple cache line granularity, and a processing resource coupled with the memory interface and the cache memory. The processing resource is configured to perform a general-purpose compute operation on compute data associated with multiple cache lines of the cache memory. The circuitry is configured to compress the compute data before a write of the compute data via the memory interface to the memory bus, in association with a read of the compute data associated with the multiple cache lines via the memory interface, decompress the compute data, and provide the decompressed compute data to the processing resource.

Sector cache for compression

In an example, an apparatus comprises a plurality of execution units comprising at least a first type of execution unit and a second type of execution unit and logic, at least partially including hardware logic, to analyze a workload and assign the workload to one of the first type of execution unit or the second type of execution unit. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.

Hybrid low power homogenous grapics processing units

Described herein are various embodiments of reducing dynamic power consumption within a processor device. One embodiment provides a technique for dynamic link width reduction based on throughput demand for client of an interconnect fabric. One embodiment provides for a parallel processor comprising an interconnect fabric including a dynamically configurable bus widths and frequencies.

One embodiment provides for a graphics processor comprising a translation lookaside buffer (TLB) to cache a first page table entry for a virtual to physical address mapping for use by the graphics processor, the first page table entry to indicate that a first virtual page is a valid page that is cleared to a clear color and graphics pipeline circuitry to bypass a memory access for the first virtual page based on the first page table entry in response to determination that the first virtual page is cleared to the clear color and determine a color associated with the first virtual page without performing a memory access to the first virtual page.

A mechanism is described for facilitating consolidated compression/de-compression of graphics data streams of varying types at computing devices. A method of embodiments, as described herein, includes generating a common sector cache relating to a graphics processor. The method may further include performing a consolidated compression of multiple types of graphics data streams associated with the graphics processor using the common sector cache.

Consolidation of data compression using common sectored cache for graphics streams

In an example, an apparatus comprises a plurality of execution units, and a cache memory communicatively coupled to the plurality of execution units, wherein the cache memory is structured into a plurality of sectors, wherein each sector in the plurality of sectors comprises at least two cache lines. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.
