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:
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.

2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the utilization-related information includes run-time telemetry for the resource.

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

4 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is further to:
handle a page-fault in response to the request from the processor.

5 . The 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.

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

7 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is further to:
read run-time bandwidth information from the shared 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.

8 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is further to:
read run-time internal resource utilization information from the shared 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 priority associated with the request and the run-time internal resource utilization information for the non-volatile memory.

9 . 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:
read utilization-related information for a resource from the memory 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.

10 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the utilization-related information includes run-time telemetry for the resource.

11 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the circuitry is further to:
schedule utilization of the resource based on a priority associated with the request and the utilization-related information for the resource.

12 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the circuitry is further to:
handle a page-fault in response to the request from the processor.

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

14 . The system of claim 9 , 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 priority associated with the request and the run-time internal resource utilization information for the non-volatile memory.

15 . A method of managing a resource, comprising:
reading 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 scheduling utilization of the resource based at least in part on the utilization-related information for the resource.

16 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the utilization-related information includes run-time telemetry for the resource.

17 . The method of claim 15 , further comprising:
scheduling utilization of the resource based on a priority associated with the request and the utilization-related information for the resource.

18 . The method of claim 15 , further comprising:
handling a page-fault in response to the request from the processor.

19 . The method of claim 15 , further comprising:
interfacing with an agent to schedule resource utilization of a remote resource.

20 . The method of claim 15 , further comprising:
reading run-time bandwidth information from the shared 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.
