Abstract: The techniques described herein reduce a rate at which a mobile device consumes energy when receiving, processing and storing data events (e.g., emails, instant messages, social networking messages and notifications, etc.). In various embodiments, the techniques may be implemented in accordance with a connected standby mode of operation for the mobile device. Therefore, the techniques may decouple data reception from data processing when exchanging data events in the connected standby mode. In various embodiments, the techniques may store persistent memory operations for multiple data events in a temporary cache and process the stored persistent memory operations as a batch (e.g., perform the persistent memory operations together). In various embodiments, the techniques may partition data storage space allocated for data communications applications on the mobile device.

Abstract: A gateway that may be implemented in a local network and that communicates with a cloud network to provide efficient services in a weakly connected setting is disclosed. The gateway may be configured to enable services that efficiently utilize resources in both of the gateway and the cloud network, and provide a desired quality of service while operating in a weakly connected setting. The gateway may provide data collection and processing, local network services, and enable cloud services that utilize data collected and processed by the gateway. The local network may include one or more sensors and/or video cameras that provide data to the gateway. In a further implementation, the gateway may determine an allocation of one or more tasks of a service between the gateway and a cloud network by determining the allocation of the one or more service tasks based on desired service latency.

Abstract: This document describes techniques and apparatuses for suppressing power spikes. In some embodiments, these techniques and apparatuses determine an available amount of power that a battery is capable of providing while maintaining a particular voltage level and a requisite amount of power that components will consume to perform a task. When the requisite amount of power exceeds the available amount of power, execution of the task or other tasks can be rescheduled effective to enable the battery to maintain the particular voltage level.

Abstract: Various methods and systems for implementing resource management for an infrastructure are provided. Resource management includes datacenter byproduct management interfaces, datacenter power management, datacenter operations optimization and infrastructure resource management. Resource management facilitates using and distributing physical resources, including incidental physical resources that are generated during operation of an infrastructure, based on a minimum threshold reserve of the physical resource associated with the operating the infrastructure. Resource management can include controlling an amount of the physical resource that is generated and an amount the physical resource that is reserved. The minimum threshold reserve in combination with the control over generating and reserving the physical resource help identify an allocable amount of the physical resource. Physical resources of an infrastructure are quantified to support resource management. Quantifying physical resources is associated with devices of the infrastructure and requests for physical resources in the infrastructure to perform different types of operations.

Abstract: The techniques and systems described herein implement direct memory access in association with a wireless data transfer. In one example, data units are received at a device and it is determined that the data units have been transferred using low-power consumption data transfer and that the data units are to be directly stored in a predetermined memory (e.g., a dedicated memory) of the device. In another example, a first device provides an instruction to a partner device to store data in specific storage location(s) so that the data can be retrieved from the specific storage location(s) without interrupting a main processor of the partner device. The data may also be directly stored in the predetermined memory of the first device without interrupting a main processor of the first device.

Abstract: Schedule-based energy storage device selection is described for a device having an energy storage device system with heterogeneous energy storage devices, such as heterogeneous battery cells. The techniques discussed herein use information regarding a user's schedule (e.g., the user's calendar) to predict future workload patterns for a computing device and reserve energy storage device capacities across multiple heterogeneous energy storage devices to improve efficiency of the energy storage devices. For example, if a user is expected to attend a video conference call later in the day (e.g., due to the video conference call being on the user's calendar), then energy in an energy storage device that is better capable of handling such a workload (providing power during the video conference call) more efficiently is preserved so that the energy is available when the video conference call occurs.

Abstract: Techniques for increasing the battery life on a mobile device by decreasing the energy consumption of the mobile device's wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) interface are described. In one embodiment, the mobile device's Wi-Fi interface is automatically disabled when the device is not engaged. When the device receives a wake up call from a server via its Cellular interface, the Wi-Fi interface is enabled if the device answers the wake up call and the Wi-Fi interface is available. Using its Wi-Fi interface, the mobile device then connects to an IP-based network via a Wi-Fi access point.
