Deeper C-states impact cache content through shrinking of the cache or flushing entire cache to memory before reducing power to the cache. Deeper C-states will thus negatively impact the pseudo-locked regions. To avoid impacting pseudo-locked regions C-states are limited on pseudo-locked region creation so that cores associated with the pseudo-locked region are prevented from entering deeper C-states. This is accomplished by requesting a CPU latency target which will prevent the core from entering C6 across all supported platforms.
