Abstract
A processing device and method for efficient transitioning to and from a reduced power state is provided. The processing device comprises a plurality of components having assigned registers used to store data to execute a program and a power management controller, in communication with the plurality of components. The power management controller receives an indication that the plurality of components are idle, executes a process to enter a component into a reduced power state in response to receiving an acknowledgement from the component of a request from the power management controller to remove power to the component, and executes a process to exit the component from the reduced power state in response to the component being active.
