Abstract

An embodiment of an electronic apparatus may comprise one or more substrates, and a controller coupled to the one or more substrates, the controller including circuitry to read utilization-related information for a resource from a memory shared with a processor in response to a request from the processor for the resource, and schedule utilization of the resource based at least in part on the utilization-related information for the resource. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electronic apparatus, comprising:
one or more substrates; and
a controller coupled to the one or more substrates, the controller including circuitry to:
receive, from a processor, a request to handle a page fault;
based on the request, read utilization-related information for a resource from a memory which is to be shared by the circuitry and the processor, wherein the utilization-related information is to comprise run-time telemetry for the resource, and wherein the memory is further to provide memory map information; and
issue a command, to a dispatch queue, to schedule a utilization of the resource based on each of the utilization-related information for the resource and a first priority of an application to be executed with the processor.

2. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is further to:
schedule utilization of the resource based on a second priority associated with the request and the utilization-related information for the resource.

3. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is further to:
determine if the utilization of the resource responsive to the request from the processor is complete; and, if so determined,
notify the processor that the request is completed.

4. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is further to:
interface with an agent to schedule resource utilization of a remote resource.

5. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is further to:
read run-time bandwidth information from the memory for two or more resources in response to the request from the processor; and
perform an on-the-fly selection among the two or more resources based on the run-time bandwidth information.

6. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is further to:
read run-time internal resource utilization information from the memory for a non-volatile memory in response to the request from the processor; and
schedule utilization of the non-volatile memory based on a second priority associated with the request and the run-time internal resource utilization information for the non-volatile memory.

7. An electronic system, comprising:
a processor;
memory communicatively coupled to the processor; and
a controller communicatively coupled to the processor and the memory, the controller including circuitry to:
receive, from the processor, a request to handle a page fault;
based on the request, read utilization-related information for a resource from the memory, wherein the memory is to be shared by the circuitry and the processor, wherein the utilization-related information is to comprise run-time telemetry for the resource, and wherein the memory is further to provide memory map information; and
issue a command, to a dispatch queue, to schedule a utilization of the resource based on each of the utilization-related information for the resource and a first priority of an application to be executed with the processor.

8. The electronic system of claim 7 , wherein the circuitry is further to:
schedule utilization of the resource based on a second priority associated with the request and the utilization-related information for the resource.

9. The electronic system of claim 7 , wherein the circuitry is further to:
interface with an agent to schedule resource utilization of a remote resource.

10. The electronic system of claim 7 , wherein the circuitry is further to:
read run-time internal resource utilization information from the memory for a non-volatile memory in response to the request from the processor; and
schedule utilization of the non-volatile memory based on a second priority associated with the request and the run-time internal resource utilization information for the non-volatile memory.

11. A method at a controller, the method comprising:
receiving, from a processor, a request to handle a page fault;
based on the request, reading utilization-related information for a resource from a memory which is to be shared by the controller and the processor, wherein the utilization-related information comprises run-time telemetry for the resource, and wherein the memory further provides memory map information; and
issuing a command, to a dispatch queue, to schedule a utilization of the resource based on each of the utilization-related information for the resource and a first priority of an application executed with the processor.

12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:
scheduling utilization of the resource based on a second priority associated with the request and the utilization-related information for the resource.

13. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:
interfacing with an agent to schedule resource utilization of a remote resource.

14. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:
reading run-time bandwidth information from the memory for two or more resources in response to the request from the processor; and
performing an on-the-fly selection among the two or more resources based on the run-time bandwidth information.
