摘要： A method and apparatus are disclosed for performing dynamic arbitration of memory accesses by a CPU and at least one bus master interface module based on, at least in part, monitoring a CPU throttle control signal and monitoring CPU power and performance states, and making decisions based on the monitored parameters. Bus master memory access break events and memory read and write accesses are also monitored as part of the arbitration process in accordance with certain embodiments of the present invention. An arbitration (ARB) module performs the dynamic arbitration. A CPU throttle control module generates the CPU throttle control signal, indicating when the CPU is idle, and also monitors and outputs the CPU power and performance states. A memory controller (MC) module controls accesses to the memory subsystem based on, at least in part, the dynamic arbitration performed by the dynamic arbitration module.

摘要： A method and apparatus are disclosed for conditionally enabling/disabling PCI power management in a computer-based system employing a central resource and an operating system. Non-CLKRUN# compatible PCI devices in the system are identified and whether or not the non-CLKRUN# compatible PCI devices are enabled is determined. The CLKRUN# support capability of the central resource, if available, is enabled or disabled based on, at least in part, the established status of the non-CLKRUN# compatible PCI devices. If enabled, PCI power management is provided by the CLKRUN# support capability according to the PCI CLKRUN# protocol for all CLKRUN# compatible PCI devices present in the computer-based system.

摘要： Herein described is at least a method and a system of providing a graphical user interface which may be used in the management of one or more data storage drives or hard disk drives. In a representative embodiment, a method of modifying the size of a data pool comprises using a point and click device on a graphical user interface. In a representative embodiment, a system for resizing the storage capacity allocated for a data pool comprises a memory, software instructions resident in the memory, and a processor capable of executing the software instructions. A user interface, capable of resizing the storage capacity of the data pool, is generated when executing the software instructions.

摘要： A keyboard controller is used to drive the PDEN pins on DIMMs. A PC has a keyboard controller with a plurality of programmable input/output (I/O) pins. The state of the programmable I/O pins can be set by software. The pins are coupled to individual PDEN pins on the DIMMs. When the programmable I/O pins are activated, the PDEN pins are driven active and each DIMM outputs a signal indicating its characteristics. The signals are latched and stored for use by a memory controller.
