Abstract
An interface couples a plurality of compute units to a power management controller. The interface conveys a power report for the plurality of compute units to the power management controller. The power management controller receives the power report, determines a power action for the plurality of compute units based at least in part on the power report, and transmits a message specifying the power action through the interface. The power action is performed.
