    Abstract: An example compute node is disclosed that includes a plurality of processor cores. The example further includes an operating system (OS) having an OS power management (OSPM) engine to determine that a first of the plurality of processor cores has entered an idle state; and a system management mode (SMM) handler to detect a system management interrupt (SMI) and transition control of hardware resources of the first processor core from the OS to a basic input output system (BIOS) to enter a system management mode (SMM) in order to perform one or more platform management operations.

    Abstract: Technologies for fast low-power startup include a computing device with a processor having a power management integrated circuit. The computing device initializes platform components into a low-power state and determines, in a pre-boot firmware environment, the battery state of the computing device. The computing device determines a minimum-power startup (MPS) configuration that identifies platform components to be energized and determines whether the battery state is sufficient for the MPS configuration. If sufficient, the computing device energizes the platform components of the MPS configuration and boots into an MPS boot mode. In the MPS boot mode, the computing device may execute one or more user-configured application(s). If the battery state is sufficient for normal operation, the computing device may boot into a normal mode. In the normal mode, the user may configure the MPS configuration by selecting features for the future MPS boot mode. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
