 **Winkle**	Special very-low power state for a processor core, where most of it, and the surrounding logic, is shut off. Because this state is destructive to core initialization settings, a core-specific winkle image containing initialization instructions must be executed by the PORE to bring the core back online. Core winkle can only occur when all hardware threads for a given core commit themselves to the winkle state.
 
 **XSCOM**	Special, fast SCOM that allows the processor cores to directly SCOM the PIB. Processor buses must be enabled to the slave processor chips for the master processor to XSCOM them.

 ###**GPE**:###
   **G**eneral **P**urpose **E**ngine programs are compiled as part of the OCC FW build by using the GNU Assembler.  The compiled images will be stored in the OCC SRAM space.  GPE has full access to OCC SRAM tank.  GPE programs can take one 32 bit argument when they are called.  This can be used to pass a pointer to a struct or any other args that need to be passed.  They can run on PORE-GPE0 or PORE-GPE1.  GPE0 is used to read power data from the APSS  and processor core data.  GPE1 is used to read memory temperatures.
 
 ###**APSS**:###
   **A**nalog **P**ower **S**ubsystem **S**weep provides real time power measurements of voltage rails.  The OCC reads the APSS by sending commands over the SPI bus.
