Datasheet Volume One of Two
The ‘maximum time window’ in bits [54:48] is representative of the maximum rate at
which the power control unit (PCU) can sample the package energy consumption and
reactively take the necessary measures to meet the imposed power limits.
Programming too large a time window runs the risk of the PCU not being able to
monitor and take timely action on package energy excursions. On the other hand,
programming too small a time window may not give the PCU enough time to sample
energy information and enforce the limit. The minimum value of the ‘time window’ can
be obtained by reading bits [21:15] of the PWR_LIMIT_MISC_INFO CSR using the PECI
RdPCIConfigLocal() command.
2.5.2.6.15 “Wake on PECI” Mode bit Write / Read
Setting the “Wake on PECI” mode bit enables successful comple
tion of the
WrPCIConfigLocal(), RdPCIConfigLocal(), WrPCIConfig() and RdPCIConfig() PECI
commands by forcing a package ‘pop-up’ to the C2 state to service these commands if
the processor is in a low-power state. The exact power impact of such a ‘pop-up’ is
determined by the product SKU, the C-state from which the pop-up is initiated and the
negotiated PECI bit rate. A ‘reset’ or ‘clear’ of this bit or simply not setting the “Wake
on PECI” mode bit could result in a “timeout” response (completion code of 0x82) from
the processor indicating that the resources required to service the command are in a
low power state.
Alternatively, this mode bit can also be read to determine PECI behavior in package
states C3 or deeper.
2.5.2.6.16 Accumulated Run Time Read
This read returns the total time for which the processor has been ex
ecuting with
a
resolution of 1mS per count. This is tracked by a 32-bit counter that rolls over on
reaching the maximum value. This counter activates and starts counting for the first
time at RESET_N de-assertion.
