Patent ID: 7752468

Claim:
A method comprising: implementing at least one statistical prediction model to predict memory power utilization and reduce power consumption for a computing platform, implementation to include: determining a configuration parameter for the computing platform by at least identifying resources present on the computing platform; identifying an operating parameter associated with at least one of the resources present on the computing platform; monitoring the operating parameter of the computing platform during runtime of the computing platform by inspecting at least one of a memory table or a memory register that is updated by the resource of the computing platform during runtime of the computing platform; and predicting memory power utilization for the computing platform during the runtime of the computing platform based on the determined configuration parameter and the monitored operating 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, wherein transitioning the current power state is based at least in part on a statistical prediction of memory power utilization determined from the configuration parameter and the monitored operating parameter.
