2. 2 November 11, 2015 Short History Frequency Wi Fi Performance Low Power High Performance

3. 3 November 11, 2015 Conflicting requirements

4. 4 November 11, 2015 Global Team 4

5. 5 November 11, 2015 Principles of parallel optimization Define targets for each parameters in clear measureable way – At SOC level, block level when relevant For each milestone check all vectors – Need tools / systematic ways to check status Power –Cdyn, frequency, cost-area, execution schedule Convergence done by iterations Clear tradeoffs (the simpler that each designer can do) – 1:2 performance / power (most difficult) – Can not go back in frequency for features Do not make decisions without understating the impact on the conflicting vector 5

6. 6 November 11, 2015 Best User Experience with Lowest Power Enable sleep states for SOC and platform components (C-states) – Deeper sleep more power saving=> close every transistor – Need fast weak up => smart weak up algorithms – Complex platform dependency Design techniques: – Independent power plans – Fine grain clock gating 6 VCC Core (Gated) VCC Core (Gated) VCC Core (Gated) VCC Core (Gated) VCC Core (ungated) VCC SA Processor Graphics Slices and fixed function VCC Periphery Note: Not to scale

7. 7 November 11, 2015 7 Best User Experience with Lowest Power C0 P1 C0 P2 C0 P0 C2 C3 C4 C1 Time Power [W] Energy – performance states – P0 highest performance – P1, P2… energy efficient lower performance – C-states – low power sleep states Design Techniques: – Independent frequency for different functional blocks – Intel Turbo Boost and Speed Shift Technology  autonomous controls Very high dynamic power range 4.5W  180W
