摘要:
A system and method for enabling home power management. The method includes polling a plurality of power managed appliances in a network to determine a power state for each of the power managed appliances. Based on a corresponding power rating for the power state of each of the power managed appliances, determining an overall power utilization for the network. If policy has been enacted for updating the power state of any of the plurality of power managed appliances, adjusting the power state of the power managed appliances to provide an optimized power management network.

In some embodiments, the invention involves reducing platform power consumption. In an embodiment, the platform may handle a predetermined set of events by the platform firmware when the platform is in sleep, or low power, mode, thereby eliminating the need to wake the processor and utilize the operating system. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
摘要:
A method for managing a basic input output system (BIOS) includes filtering a request to change a policy of a platform associated with the BIOS. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
摘要:
A method, system and article of manufacture to boot a computer system from a remote Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) image. A request for a local Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) image of a computer system is intercepted by a controller of the computer system. A remote BIOS image for the computer system is retrieved from a remote computer system communicatively coupled to the computer system via the controller. The remote BIOS image is executed by the computer system.
摘要:
A method, system and article of manufacture to provide a remote terminal capability. A local system is initialized, the local system including a Keyboard-Video-Mouse (KVM) and a local controller. The local controller is initialized for KVM functionality. A request is sent to a target system to active KVM functionality at the target system, the target system communicatively coupled to the local system. KVM input/output (I/O) traffic is passed between the KVM and the target system via the local controller.
摘要:
Methods and apparatus to enable code-based bus performance analysis are disclosed. In one example, a method identifies a bus transaction request with a virtual machine monitor and stores a record associated with the bus transaction request in a virtual machine.
摘要:
A method, system, and article of manufacture to efficiently support interrupts of a computer system. A message-based interrupt from a device of the computer system is intercepted. A fake line-based interrupt for the device corresponding to the message-based interrupt is determined, wherein an operating system (OS) of the computer system is not message-based interrupt capable. The fake line-based interrupt is issued to the OS. A query from the OS regarding the fake line-based interrupt is serviced, the query to determine if the fake line-based interrupt was from the device. An interrupt vector associated with the message-based interrupt is provided to the OS.
摘要:
Non-volatile storage resources associated with third party supplied hardware may be made accessible during operating system run time. Conventionally, these resources are inaccessible to the operating system because no standardized way to access them exists. By collecting configuration data during the pre-boot stage and associating that information with a platform non-volatile storage accessor function that is accessible during run time, the third party supplied storage resources may be accessed during run time.
摘要:
Methods and apparatus for initializing a memory are disclosed. A disclosed system initializes a subset of memory and then loads an operating system. Subsets of a remaining memory are initialized during operating system idle periods. A notification for the operating system to dynamically incorporate the subsets of the remaining memory is created.
摘要:
A method according to one embodiment may include retrieving selected data from one or more mass storage devices, based at least in part on historical device access information of at least one requester of data. A method according to another embodiment may include retrieving, by an integrated circuit, device data layout information from one or more mass storage devices, and storing, by the integrated circuit, the device data layout information in cache memory. Of course, many alternatives, variations, and modifications are possible without departing from this embodiment.
