    Abstract: Power consumption can be reduced by preventing a memory image from being destaged to a nonvolatile memory device. For example, a system can determine, subsequent to a computing device being in a first power mode and having a memory image stored in a first nonvolatile memory device that performs a caching function, that the computing device is in a second power mode that is a higher power mode than the first power mode. The system can, in response to determining that the computing device is in the second power mode, generate a first command to store the memory image in a volatile memory device and prevent the memory image from being stored in a second nonvolatile memory device. The system can, in response to generating the first command, store the memory image in the volatile memory device.
