摘要： A processor-based system includes a system firmware program that is transferred to a designated region of a memory in response to an initialization (e.g., a boot sequence). When initialized, for example using at least one programmable register, the system firmware program reconfigures the memory from a first configuration (i.e., a default state) to a second configuration to receive a pattern. By changing the memory to the second configuration, the memory may be declared to be a write combining type. For storage into the memory, the pattern may be buffered in one or more data blocks. Once the pattern is stored, the memory may be restored to the first configuration. Buffered data transfers of the pattern may selectively clear the memory thus providing a rapid booting of the processor-based system.

摘要： Systems and methods provide automatic switching of display update properties such as screen resolution, pixel depth, and refresh rate in response to a power management event. The display update property may be decreased when power is switched from AC power to DC power, for example, when the system is unplugged from a wall outlet and is running on battery power.

摘要： A method and apparatus are provided for obtaining throttle settings of a system, such as a chipset. A first bandwidth may be applied to a first area (or interface) of the system and a temperature of the first area may be sensed using a thermal sensor. The bandwidth passing through this first area may be increased or decreased based on the sensed temperature to obtain an ideal or optimized setting.
