Abstract
A processor sets the size of a processor cache based on an identified workload executing at the processor. The cache size is set in response to the processor exiting a low-power mode. By setting the size of the cache based on the workload, the processor is able to tailor the size of the cache to the characteristics of a particular workload while also reducing, for at least some workloads, the overhead associated with entering or exiting the low-power mode.
