ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for global and local power management is herein described. Hardware within monitor/receives power management requests for any number of processing elements and adjusts global performance resources to change the global power state of all the processing elements or adjusts a local performance resource for a processing element to operate that processing element at a pseudo power state within the global power state.
