    摘要: A method to manage the power consumption of a display unit is provided. The method determines if a graphics-intensive event is occurring, uses a first refresh rate if the graphics-intensive event is occurring, and uses a second refresh rate different than the first refresh rate if the graphics-intensive event is not occurring. An apparatus for performing the method, and an article including a machine-accessible medium that provides instructions that, if executed by a processor, will cause the processor to perform the method are also provided.

    摘要: The present invention relates to an error correction and selective inversion circuit (ESIC). The ESIC includes a power-on logic state (POLS) bus having a data signal and an error code correction (ECC) generator having an input coupled to the POLS bus. The ECC generator includes one or more correction pins. The ESIC also includes an inversion generator having an input attached to the POLS bus in parallel with the ECC generator. The output of the inversion generator is integrated with the output of on or more correction pins from the ECC generator so as to form an inverted data signal output. An inverted data signal is recovered by the ESIC in an inversion recovery.

    摘要: A capability may include a pair of functions, one of which is integrated into a platform and the other of which is only available through an add-in card. A mating manager may determine whether both functions are available and if so, coordinate the operations of those functions. As a result, platforms may be released with the capability to be augmented thereafter by those users who choose to provide the add-in cards needed to implement the capability. A wireless network capability may be partially integrated into platforms, with additional components needed to actually implement the wireless capability provided through add-in cards. The add-in card may perform wake packet filtering to avoid excessively awakening the platform.

    摘要: A method for displaying graphics in a computer system. In one embodiment, the method includes a step of receiving a stream of data into the main memory of the computer system. This stream of data comprises a series of descriptions of digital video frames and a series of indicators, each of which corresponds to a set, or a group of one or more, of the video frame descriptions. Each indicator indicates a basis for selecting a subset of the set of video frame descriptions. For example, in one embodiment thirty video frame descriptions are in each set, and a given indicator indicates that half of those thirty descriptions should be included in the corresponding subset. Then, only the fifteen video frame descriptions selected for inclusion in the subset are decompressed, and only the fifteen resulting video frames are displayed, while the other fifteen frames are dropped. By reducing the total number of frame descriptions to be decompressed and displayed, system activity can be reduced, thereby reducing the possibility that power management utilities will be invoked. By using the indicator as the basis for determining when to drop frames and/or which frames are to be dropped instead of allowing power management utilites to make the determination, the video as displayed can be improved according to some predetermined policy.
