Abstract
An information processing device comprises a first memory, a second memory, data transfer circuitry, power gating circuitry, and a controller. The first memory comprises at least two volatile memory units. The controller receives or generates a request for setting the information processing device into a reduced power mode; in response to the request, it selects specific memory units among the memory units; controls the data transfer circuitry to transfer data from the selected memory units to the second memory; and controls the power gating circuitry to power down the selected memory units.
