Abstract: A computer system for processing data in a non-operational state and processing method thereof are provided. The computer system includes a data output unit, a data source, a data processing module and a state monitor unit. The data processing module accesses and processes data from the data source, and transmits the processed data to the data output unit.

Abstract: A hard drive assessing method and a hard drive assessing system supporting a maximum transmission rate of a hard drive are provided, wherein the hard drive is accessed by a controller, and both the controller and the hard drive support a plurality of transmission rates. The maximum transmission rate of the hard drive is first obtained. When the controller reads data from the hard drive, the transmission rate of the controller is set to be not lower than the maximum transmission rate, and the transmission rate of the hard drive is maintained at the maximum transmission rate. When the controller writes data into the hard drive, the transmission rate of the controller is reduced to be lower than the maximum transmission rate, and the transmission rate of the hard drive is maintained at the maximum transmission rate. Thereby, the hard drive can be accessed at its maximum transmission rate.

Abstract: A power saving method applied to a central processing unit under a non-snooping sleeping state with a bus master request from a peripheral device is presented. In accordance with the present invention, first prohibit the central processing unit from fetching instruction. Then drive the central processing unit entering a snooping sleeping state and enabling the arbiter for transferring the bus master request to the central processing unit. After the central processing unit completes the bus master request, the arbiter is disabled and the central processing unit is driven to leave the snooping sleeping state and return back to the non-snooping sleeping state. Therefore, the power consumed by the central processing unit is reduced so as to save power.

Abstract: A bus cycle trapping system includes at least one register, a north bridge, a south bridge and a central processing unit (CPU). The register is configured to store at least one trapping parameter. The north bridge traps a bus cycle matching the at least one trapping parameter while issuing an activating signal. The south bridge sends a system management interrupt message according to the activating signal. The CPU enters a system management mode according to the system management interrupt and executes a system management interrupt routine for doing a debugging test of the bus cycle matching the trapping parameter.
