Methods and systems to dynamically manage performance states in a data processing system
First Claim
1. A machine-implemented method to dynamically manage a performance state of a data processing system, comprising:
- receiving an information about a first plurality of current states of components of the system;
determining a second plurality of required system performance states for the components; and
determining a current system performance state based on the first plurality and the second plurality.

Abstract
Methods and apparatuses to dynamically manage a performance state of a data processing system are described. The data processing system includes a plurality of components; one or more buses coupled to the plurality of components, and a dynamic performance state manager unit coupled to the components. The dynamic performance state manager unit is configured to receive information about a first plurality of current states of components of the system. The dynamic performance state manager unit is configured to determine a second plurality of required system performance states for the components; and to determine a current system performance state based on the first plurality and the second plurality.
