    摘要: Provided are a method, system and program for effecting an operating system mode change from one mode to another. In one embodiment, the operating system in one mode is placed in a sleep state in which volatile memory remains active. In booting an operating system from the sleep state, a flag may be detected indicating an operating system mode transfer request. In response, contents of a selected range of volatile memory allocated to the first operating system mode may be swapped with the contents of a selected range of a reserve portion of volatile memory allocated to the second operating system mode. Booting of an operating system in the second mode may be completed using the swapped contents of the volatile memory. Additional embodiments are described and claimed.

    摘要: Various embodiments of the invention relate to apportioning a total memory bandwidth available for a time period amongst a plurality of bandwidth requests according to a power managed profile. In addition, isochronous data transmission may be appended together and transmitted according to a data transmission policy, wherein the policy may include transmitting the appended isochronous data during an opportunistic data transmission, or during a time identified for transmitting a combined isochronous data transmission, but prior to a time delay compliance limit for isochronous requirements.

    摘要: Embodiments may include an interrupt handling system to generate software level interrupts in place of hardware level interrupts. The interrupt handling system may invoke an advanced configuration and power management interface (ACPI) and ACPI source language infrastructure, which provides for an SCI independent mechanism for invoking ACPI ASL code. The ACPI ASL code may in turn be used to alter and configure the power management of a computer system. This interrupt handling system allows for greater flexibility and efficiency by utilizing software based interrupts in place of hardware interrupt to decrease pin counts for chips and allow isolation of system function based on address ranges tied to interrupt sources.

    摘要: A system and method to determine a presence of devices coupled to one a more peripheral buses in a system, and dynamically reducing power consumption of a subset of the devices that are present, based on correlating application/device association and a predetermined power source budget. In one embodiment, the reducing of the power consumption is performed dynamically by having an agent reduce the power limit in a device register(s) corresponding to the subset of devices. Furthermore, in one embodiment, the power resource budget is based at least in part on a user-selected power/performance level.
