Abstract:
1. A method to reduce memory power consumption for a computing platform, the method comprising: during runtime of the computing platform, inspecting an operating parameter associated with a resource of the computing platform that is updated by the resource of the computing platform during the runtime of the computing platform; predicting a change from a current level of memory power utilization by the computing platform to another level of memory power utilization by the computing platform during the runtime of the computing platform, the predicting including evaluating, based on the inspecting the operating parameter, a statistical parameter of a statistical prediction algorithm, wherein the operating parameter includes a network traffic parameter, a processing element memory allocation parameter or a memory access pattern parameter; and transitioning a current power state of at least one memory module resident on the computing platform to one of a plurality of power states based on the predicting of the change from the current level of memory power utilization.
