Abstract

Described herein are embodiments of an apparatus configured for dynamic link width modulation, a system including an apparatus configured for dynamic link width modulation, a method for dynamic link width modulation, and computer-readable media having instructions that, if executed by one or more processors, cause an apparatus to perform a dynamic link width modulation method. An apparatus configured for dynamic link width modulation may include a first counter for determining a length of a queue of packets at a source of a link, a second counter for determining a rate of utilization of the link, and a power control unit configured to modify a width of the link based at least in part on the length of the queue and the rate of utilization. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
