Abstract:
Systems, apparatuses, and methods for using a scoreboard to track updates to configuration state registers are disclosed. A system includes one or more processing nodes, one or more memory devices, a plurality of configuration state registers, and a communication fabric coupled to the processing unit(s) and memory device(s). The system uses a scoreboard to track updates to the configuration state registers during run-time. Prior to a node going into a power-gated state, the system stores only those configuration state registers that have changed. This reduces the amount of data written to memory on each transition into power-gated state, and increases the amount of time the node can spend in the power-gated state. Also, configuration state registers are grouped together to match the memory access granularity, and each group of configuration state registers has a corresponding scoreboard entry.”

Claim (Index 15):
An apparatus comprising:\n a processing node; a control unit; and a memory; wherein the control unit is configured to:\n maintain a scoreboard to track which of a plurality of configuration state registers have been updated since a previous transition of a given processing node to a power-gated state, wherein said scoreboard comprises one or more entries that include an identification of a configuration register and an indication as to whether the configuration register has been updated since a previous transition of a given processing node to a power-gated state; \n responsive to detecting a condition for transitioning the given processing node into the power-gated state, write only a subset of the plurality of configuration state registers to the memory, wherein the subset is indicated by the scoreboard.
