System and method for efficient power throttling in multiprocessor chip

A method for limiting power consumption in a multiprocessor chip is provided. In this method, a read or write request is received by the memory controller, which controls a memory that is external to the multiprocessor chip. The memory controller includes a bank counter that keeps track of the number of read or write requests received by the memory controller. At every clock cycle, the bank counter value is compared with a threshold value to determine whether the counter value is equal to the threshold value. If the bank counter value is determined to be equal to the threshold value, then any subsequent incoming read or write requests are blocked. The bank counter value is incremented each time a read or write request is sent to the memory.

Induction plasma reactor

The invention is a plasma-generating device useful in a wide variety of industrial processes. The plasma is formed in a chamber having a toroidal topology, and is heated inductively. As with all inductive plasmas, a primary coil carries an applied AC current, which, in turn, generates a corresponding applied AC magnetic flux inside the plasma. This flux induces current to flow through the plasma in closed paths that encircle the flux, thereby heating and maintaining the plasma. In this invention, the applied AC current flows through the primary coil around substantially the short poloidal direction on the torus. Accordingly, the applied magnetic flux is caused to circulate through the plasma along the larger toroidal direction. Finally, the current induced within the plasma will flow in the poloidal direction, anti-parallel to the applied primary current. The plasma chamber wall is preferably made of metal such as aluminum and includes one or more electrical breaks that extend fully around the chamber wall in the toroidal direction. This prevents poloidal currents from being induced in the chamber wall, ensuring effective power transfer to the plasma. Elastomeric seals made from electrically insulating material seal the breaks.

Dynamic interrupt reconfiguration for effective power management

Methods, apparatus, and systems for facilitating effective power management through dynamic reconfiguration of interrupts. Interrupt vectors are mapped to various processor cores in a multi-core processor, and interrupt workloads on the processor cores are monitored. When an interrupt workload for a given processor core is detected to fall below a threshold, the interrupt vectors are dynamically reconfigured by remapping interrupt vectors that are currently mapped to the processor core to at least one other processor core, such that there are no interrupt vectors mapped to the processor core after reconfiguration. The core is then enabled to be put in a deeper idle state. Similar operations can be applied to additional processor cores, effecting a collapsing of interrupt vectors onto fewer processor cores. In response to detecting cores emerging from idle states, reconfiguration of interrupt vectors can be performed to rebalance the assignment of the vectors across active cores by remapping a portion of the vectors to those cores.
