ABSTRACT:
A system and method is disclosed for providing memory performance states in a computing system. The operating system power management component of the computing system establishes a set of performance states, with each performance state being defined by a number of factors, including the core frequency of memory. The operating system power management component also defines the number of memory performance states that are supported by the computing system and the number of supported memory performance states that are available for use by the computing system. Whether a supported memory performance state is available is dependent upon a measure of the power being consumed by the computing system, the thermal output of the computing system, or both measures.
