摘要： When transitioning from sleep mode to active mode, a processing system loads first stage resume content and second stage resume content into a volatile memory of the processing system. The first stage resume content may contain contextual data for a first program that was in use before the processing system transitioned to sleep mode. The second stage resume content may contain contextual data for another program that was in use before the processing system transitioned to sleep mode. The processing system may provide a user interface for the first program before all of the second stage resume content has been loaded into the volatile memory. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

摘要： Methods and apparatus to facilitate fast restarts in processor systems are disclosed. An example processor restart method disclosed herein includes recording a log of pre-boot initialization actions, and replaying a portion of the log during subsequent processor restarts to shorten pre-boot initialization time. The example processor restart method disclosed herein may further include creating a log index table for easier referral to portions of the log, storing the log and the log index table in non-volatile memory, using the log index table to reorder the replaying of the log, and reordering the replay of the log to initialize the video graphics adapter earlier in a processor restart sequence.

摘要： A lightweight virtual machine monitor (“LVMM”) allocates devices on a virtual host. In one embodiment, the LVMM identifies a primary and a secondary VM on the virtual host. The LVMM may expose various devices on the virtual host directly to the primary VM and provide these devices as virtual devices to the secondary partition.

摘要： Systems and methods provide for emulating a host architecture in guest firmware. One aspect of the systems and methods comprises determining whether an emulated instruction would cause a transition into a legacy mode. A current execution context is converted into a legacy mode context, and the firmware emulator proceeds to a group of legacy mode instructions in a native mode for the processor. The firmware emulator detects an end instruction and converts the legacy context back to the guest firmware context.

摘要： Buyer-driven methods of purchasing a motor vehicle include one or more buyers, each buyer composing a buyer-specific offer to purchase a motor vehicle and optionally motor vehicle-related services. Each offer is based on an individual buyer willing price that is based on an individual buyer perceived value of the motor vehicle and related services, and one or more buyer-specific conditions imposed on purchasing a motor vehicle within the set of motor vehicles. Buyers register with, and communicating their respective buyer-specific offer to, a website hosted by a computer server, the website accessible by network-connected devices of the buyers. One or more website-registered sellers communicate their respective seller conditions to the website, and software in a system server filters the buyer-specific offers. The sellers may accept, decline, or make alternative responses to the website, which ranks the seller response for buyers.

摘要： A method and system to utilize platform-based optimization routines by a computer system. An application executing on the computer system initializes a user library bound to the application. The user library requests that an optimized library be copied into the user space of the computer system. The optimized library includes functions optimized for the hardware configuration of the computer system and is advertised by the firmware of the computer system. The entry points of the optimized functions are exported to the application, the optimized functions corresponding to non-optimized functions of the application. In one embodiment, the optimized library is validated before being copied into user space.
