Abstract: A mechanism where the locked pages are saved and restored by a hardware accelerator which is transparent to the OS. Prior to standby entry, the OS puts all DMA capable devices in the lowest-powered device low-power state after disabling bus mastering. The OS flushes all pageable memory to an NVM (in segments that are kept in self-refresh) and provides a list of pinned and locked pages in the DRAM to a power management controller (p-unit). The p-unit checks for all Bus Mastering DMA to be turned off and checks if a next OS timer wake event (TNTE) is greater than a threshold, to decide whether to enable or disable PASR or MPSM in Standby. If the conditions are met, the p-unit triggers a hardware accelerator to consolidate the pinned and locked pages in the DRAM to certain segment(s) of the DRAM during standby states, making it transparent to the OS.

Abstract: A multi-level memory architecture scheme to dynamically balance a number of parameters such as power, thermals, cost, latency and performance for memory levels that are progressively further away from the processor in the platform based on how applications are using memory levels that are further away from processor cores. In some examples, the decision making for the state of the far memory (FM) is decentralized. For example, a processor power management unit (p-unit), near memory controller (NMC), and/or far memory host controller (FMHC) makes decisions about the power and/or performance state of the FM at their respective levels. These decisions are coordinated to provide the most optimum power and/or performance state of the FM for a given time. The power and/or performance state of the memories adaptively change to changing workloads and other parameters even when the processor(s) is in a particular power state.

Abstract: A portable audio input/output device may include one or more openings that extend through a cover of the device and allow acoustic signals outside a housing of the device to reach a microphone disposed within the housing. The opening(s) may be illuminated by a light guide disposed within the housing, which scatters light emitted from lights disposed within the housing. In some instances, a hole may pass through a printed circuit board to allow acoustic signals to be received by the microphone disposed below the printed circuit board. An input/output (I/O) interface module with multiple buttons and inputs may be installed in the hole. The multiple buttons and I/O ports of the I/O interface module may be aligned along an axis vertical relative to the housing and centered with respect to each other.

Abstract: The present subject matter relates to techniques for storing POST codes in electronic tags. In an example, a POST code corresponding to each test of a Power ON Self-Test (POST) process may be stored in a Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) chip of a motherboard. The POST code may be indicative of a status of a respective test of the POST process. The POST code corresponding to each test of the POST process is simultaneously stored in a memory of an electronic tag. The electronic tag may be communicatively coupled to the motherboard and the CMOS chip. The POST codes are retrievable from the memory of the electronic tag by an end user of the computing device when the motherboard is powered OFF.
