摘要
A method of reducing power consumption in a computing platform is disclosed. An endpoint-device that is coupled to the computing platform includes a first data buffer and a second data buffer. The first data buffer buffers outgoing data to be transmitted to an external device via a first communications medium. The second data buffer buffers incoming data received from the external device via the first communications medium. At least one of the first or second data buffers may selectively communicate with the computing platform, via a second communications medium, during an active window of the other data buffer. The active window may be requested by the first and/or second data buffers based, at least in part, on a system idle signal. For some embodiments, the first communications medium is an Ethernet link. Further, for some embodiments, the second communications medium is a Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) link.
