In one embodiment, a system on chip includes: at least one core; a plurality of intellectual property (IP) agents coupled to the at least one core; a shared power rail to provide an operating voltage to the plurality of IP agents; and a power controller, in response to an indication that the plurality of IP agents are in an idle state and the at least one core is in an active state, to power down the shared power rail while the at least one core remains in the active state. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

System, apparatus and method for collective power control of multiple intellectual property agents and a shared power rail

In one embodiment, a processor includes: a plurality of processing elements to perform operations; a power management agent (PMA) coupled to the plurality of processing elements to control power consumption of the plurality of processing elements; and a throttling circuit coupled to the PMA. The throttling circuit is to determine a throttling power level for the plurality of processing elements based at least in part on translation information communicated from the PMA. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

A power button override allows a persistent memory enabled platform to preserve data in persistent memory before initiating shutdown in a manner that is transparent to the user. The power button override prevents shutdown until all of the volatile cache and any other data in the platform has been flushed to persistent memory.

Various embodiments are generally directed an apparatus and method for receiving an interrupt to cause a system event on a platform processing device from a device not operative to directly cause the system event on the platform processing device, generating a generic eventmessage having information based on the interrupt and in response to receiving the interrupt. Moreover a defined event message may be generated having information based on the information in the generic event message and interrupt may be sent to an operating system of the platform processing device to cause the system event on the platform processing device based on information in the defined event message.

Techniques for processing custom events

Technologies for the calibration of a body presence sensor include a mobile computing device configured to calibrate the body presence sensor based on a present physical configuration mode of the mobile computing device. The mobile computing device may be adjustable into multiple physical configuration modes based on the intended use of the mobile computing device. The mobile computing device controls a transmit power level of an associated communication circuit based on whether the body presence sensor detects a body presence within proximity to the mobile computing device.

A device includes control logic, at least a portion of which is implemented in hardware, to process motion data, the motion data collected from a first accelerometer in a base unit and from a second accelerometer in a display panel attached to a base unit of a mobile device, to determine whether the display panel moves relative to the base unit and to temporarily ignore or disable one or more input devices of the mobile device for a predetermined period of time to avoid unintentional user interaction with the mobile device during the movement of the display panel.

According to one embodiment, a device includes control logic, at least a portion of which is implemented in hardware, to process motion data, the motion data collected from a first accelerometer in a base unit and from a second accelerometer in a display panel attached to a base unit of a mobile device, to determine whether the display panel moves relative to the base unit and to temporarily ignore or disable one or more input devices of the mobile device for a predetermined period of time to avoid unintentional user interaction with the mobile device during the movement of the display panel.

Technologies for managing the power usage of components of a computing device, while the components and the computing device are in a low-power state, such as a connected standby state. An embedded controller includes a wake-up timer designed to wake up the embedded controller during a low-power state to allow the embedded controller to perform its tasks. A power control system is configured to dynamically alter the timing cycle of the wake-up timer of the embodied controller based on operation data received. The dynamically altered timing cycle is designed to conserve power, but maintain functionality of the embedded controller.

Technologies for virtual general purpose I/O (GPIO) include a computing device having a virtual GPIO controller driver, a virtual GPIO controller firmware interface, and a virtual GPIO controller. The driver receives a GPIO command from an operating system of the computing device. The GPIO command specifies an operation to be performed by a GPIO pin. The driver sends the GPIO command to the firmware interface. In response to the firmware interface receiving the command, the virtual GPIO controller emulates a virtual GPIO pin to implement the GPIO command. The firmware interface may trigger an interrupt that can be received by the operating system. The virtual GPIO controller may emulate the virtual GPIO pin using firmware-reserved backing memory, an embedded controller, or an interface to a peripheral device of the computing device. The firmware interface may be an ACPI control method. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
