摘要： An information processor having a plurality of operating modes differing in power consumption and capable of changing the operating mode according to the amount of processing has periodic switching detection means of performing detection as to whether the information processor is periodically switching from a low-power-consumption operating mode in which the power consumption is lower to a high-power-consumption operating mode in which the power consumption is higher in the plurality of operating modes, and operating mode changing means of changing the operating modes between which the information processor switches to a combination of the operating modes such that the difference between the power consumptions is reduced relative to that at the time of switching between the low-power-consumption operating mode and the high-power-consumption operating mode if the switching cycle detected by the periodic switching detection means is shorter than a set cycle determined in advance.

摘要： An information processor having a normal-operation mode in which coherence control is performed for making data in a cache memory of a processor identical to data in a main memory and a power-saving mode in which the coherence control is suppressed to lower the power consumption from power consumption in the normal-operation mode and entering the normal-operation mode when an input/output device accesses the main memory in the power-saving mode includes an attribute setting module for setting a device area of the main memory, accessed by the input/output device of the information processor to a non-cacheable attribute for exempting said device area from said coherence control even in the normal-operation mode; an operation mode setting module for allowing the input/output device to access the device area while keeping the operation mode of the information processor in the power-saving mode when the input/output device requests access to the device area in the power-saving mode.

摘要： A method for protecting a privilege level of a system management mode (SMM) of a computer system is disclosed. A SMM program is loaded into a special memory (SMRAM) area within a system memory of a computer. A first program, a second program, and a vector table are loaded into a general area of the system memory. Before the booting process of the computer has been completed, a reference hash value of the first program is determined by the SMM program, and the reference hash value is stored in the SMRAM area. A hash value of the first program is the computed by the SMM program. After the computer has been operating under an operating environment of an operating system, the computed hash value is compared to the reference hash value. When the computed hash value matches the reference hash value, the first program is called by the SMM program.

摘要： An information processing system (IPS) including an external storage device having a drive control unit for performing reading/writing operations on a recording medium in response to a request from an operation system, in which the drive control unit transmits to the operation system a connection state response indicating that the external storage device is connected to the information processing system, when the drive control unit receives from the operation system a connection state request. The IPS includes: a power control unit for suspending a power supply to the drive control unit; a request substitutional receiving unit for receiving, in place of the drive control unit, the connection state request from the operation system when the power supply to the drive control unit is suspended; and a request substitutional replying unit for returning the connection state response indicating that the external storage device is connected to the information processing system.
