Abstract
In an embodiment, a processor includes a core to execute instructions, an agent to perform an operation independently of the core, a fabric to couple the core and agent and including a plurality of domains and a logic to receive isochronous parameter information from the agent and environmental information of a platform and to generate first and second values, and a power controller to control a frequency of the domains based at least in part on the first and second values. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
