DYNAMICALLY CONTROLLING INTERCONNECT FREQUENCY IN A PROCESSOR

摘要

In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method for determining whether a number of stalled cores of a multicore processor is greater than a stall threshold. If so, a recommendation may be made that an operating frequency of system agent circuitry of the processor be increased. Then based on multiple recommendations, a candidate operating frequency of the system agent circuitry can be set. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
