    Abstract: Methods and apparatus to manage communication bus power states are described. In one embodiment, an apparatus comprises a bus including a master node and at least a first slave node, logic to transmit a first power state change request from the master node to the first slave node, logic to receive the first power state change request in the first slave node, and logic to designate the first slave node as the master node when the first slave node denies the first power state change request.

    Abstract: A system and method for reduced power consumption communications over a physical interconnect is described. In an embodiment, an input/output circuit includes a port to receive a transmission unit via an interconnect, a combining module coupled to the port to append at least one of a first and a second indicator to the transmission unit, a first adder module to generate the first indicator, indicating that the transmission unit is a starting transmission unit of a set of related transmission units, a second adder module to generate the second indicator, indicating that the starting transmission unit of the set of related transmission units has already been received, and logic to determine at least one of the start and end boundaries of the set of related transmission units.

    Abstract: Techniques to cause a point-to-point link between system components to engage in a negotiation process that may lead to the link transitioning from an active state in which data may be transmitted between system components to a low power state where data may not be transmitted. The negotiation process may occur between each pair of nodes within an electronic system that are interconnected via point-to-point link. The negotiation may ensure that there are no pending transactions or transactions that may occur within an upcoming period of time. Through this negotiation each component acknowledges and agrees to transition the link to the low power state.

    Abstract: Techniques for dynamically adjusting point-to-point link width based, at least in part, on link conditions. When operating at full power and at the highest performance level, the full width of a point-to-point link may be utilized to transmit data between the end points. If the link is not fully utilized, a portion (e.g., one half or one quarter) of the link may remain active for communication purposes.
