    Abstract: In one embodiment, a processor includes: a plurality of cores to execute instructions and a non-volatile storage coupled to the plurality of cores to store identification information regarding the plurality of cores, the identification information to identify, for each of the plurality of cores, the core as an assured core or an opportunistic core. The processor is specified with a first subset of the plurality of cores comprising assured cores and a second subset of the plurality of cores comprising opportunistic cores, and is to execute, within a specified power budget and a specified thermal budget, a specified workload on the first subset of the plurality of cores at a first performance level. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    Abstract: Work can be migrated between processor cores. For example, a thread causing a heavy load on a first core can be detected. A power control unit can determine to migrate the thread from the first less-efficient core to the second more-efficient core. The power control unit can request that the first core and the second core transition to a low-power state (e.g., a sleep state, a C6 power state, etc.). The first core can transfer its software context to a first core software context storage, halt and quiesce. The second core can halt and quiesce. The software context from the first core software context storage can be transferred to a second core software context storage of the second core. A processing core identifier of the first core can be assigned to the second core. The power control unit can then request the second core to transition to an active state (such as a C0 state).

    Abstract: In an embodiment, a processor includes multiple cores each to independently execute instructions and a power control unit (PCU) coupled to the plurality of cores to control power consumption of the processor. The PCU may include a mapping logic to receive a performance scale value from an operating system (OS) and to calculate a dynamic performance-frequency mapping based at least in part on the performance scale value. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    Abstract translation: 在一个实施例中,处理器包括各自独立地执行指令的多个核心以及耦合到多个核心的功率控制单元(PCU),以控制处理器的功率消耗。 PCU可以包括映射逻辑以从操作系统(OS)接收性能标度值,并且至少部分地基于性能标度值来计算动态性能 - 频率映射。 描述和要求保护其他实施例。
