Abstract

Adjustable clock and power gating control is facilitated hereby. In aspects, a power management circuit is coupled to a memory controller circuit that is coupled to a memory resource circuit and to a plurality of heterogeneous client circuits configured to access the memory resource circuit via the memory controller circuit. The power management circuit is configured to receive operating parameters associated with the plurality of client circuits and to determine, based on the operating parameters, a threshold power state for the memory resource circuit. Additionally, the power management circuit is configured to initiate a clock gating operation, a power gating operation, or both for the memory resource circuit and to maintain at least the threshold power state for the memory resource circuit by limiting performance of the clock gating operation, the power gating operation, or both for the memory resource circuit. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.
