POWER STATE BASED DATA RETENTION

摘要

There is provided an apparatus comprising power state determination circuitry to determine a power state of a processing circuit; and control circuitry to issue a control signal relating to an item of data stored in a first storage circuitry. When the power state of the processing circuit is a predetermined state, the control circuitry issues a further control signal to a second storage circuitry to indicate whether the item of data is to be retained by the second storage circuitry.
