    Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for a power management circuit to monitor a power domain during one or more attempts to configure a low power state of the power domain. In an embodiment, the one or more attempts are performed during an instance of a local power state at a processor that is coupled to the power management circuit. The monitoring is to detect for a condition wherein the power domain has been in a power state, other than the low power state, for longer than a predetermined threshold length of time. Where the condition is detected, the power management circuit generates one or more signals which change the local power state of the processor, or interrupt an operating system that is executed with the processor. In another embodiment, the power management circuit provides analytic data based on the monitoring of the one or more attempts.

    Abstract: One embodiment includes hardware logic to: receive first and second communications corresponding to an intellectual property (IP) core and begin a timed session in response to receiving the second communication; determine the firmware has completed processing the second communication before expiration of the timed session and increase a latency state corresponding to a resource in response to determining the firmware has completed processing the second communication before expiration of the timed session; receive a third communication corresponding to the IP core and begin an additional timed session in response to receiving the third communication; determine the firmware failed to complete processing the third communication before expiration of the additional timed session and decrease the latency state corresponding to the resource in response to determining the firmware failed to complete processing the third communication before expiration of the additional timed session.
