Abstract

A method to reduce memory power consumption for a computing platform includes inspecting an operating parameter associated with a resource of the computing platform that is updated by the resource of the computing platform during runtime of the computing platform. Memory power utilization is then predicted for the computing platform during the runtime of the computing platform based at least in part on the operating parameter. A current power state of at least one memory module resident on the computing platform is transitioned to one of a plurality of power states based on the predicting of the memory power utilization.
