package asserted IERR and bit 31 is set if the package asserted CAT_ERR_N. The
CAT_ERR_N may be used to signal the occurrence of a MCERR or IERR.
2.5.2.6.13 Package Power SKU Unit Read
This feature enables the PECI host to read the units of time, energy and power used in
the processor and DRAM power control registers for calculating power and timing
parameters. In Figure 2-27, the default value of the power unit field [3:0] is 0011b,
energy unit [12:8] is 10000b and the time unit [19:16] is 1010b. Actual unit values are
calculated as shown in Table 2-9.
2.5.2.6.14 Package Power SKU Read
This read allows the PECI host to access the minimum, Thermal Design Power and
maximum power settings for the processor package SKU. It also returns the maximum
time interval or window over which the power can be sustained. If the power limiting
entity specifies a power limit value outside of the range specified through these
settings, power regulation cannot be guaranteed. Since this data is 64 bits wide, PECI
facilitates access to this register by allowing two requests to read the lower 32 bits and
upper 32 bits separately as shown in Table 2-8. Power units for this read are
determined as per the Package Power SKU Unit settings described in
Section 2.5.2.6.13.
‘Package Power SKU data’ is programmed by the PCU firmware during boot time based
on SKU dependent power-on default values set during manufacturing. The TDP
package power specified through bits [14:0] in Figure 2-28 is the maximum value of
the ‘Power Limit1’ field in Section 2.5.2.6.26 while the maximum package power in bits
[46:32] is the maximum value of the ‘Power Limit2’ field.
