Abstract: A processing system may include a first processing unit for a legacy partition and a second processing unit for a sequestered partition. In one embodiment, a first interrupt handler in the legacy partition may support power management for the first processing unit. A second interrupt handler in the sequestered partition may cause the sequestered partition to take control of power management hardware in the processing system when the legacy partition enters reduced power mode. For example, the second interrupt handler may program the power management hardware to route interrupts to the second processing unit. The sequestered partition may relinquish control of power management hardware to the legacy partition when the legacy partition exits reduced power mode. A power policy manager in the sequestered partition may support features such as wake for incoming communications, wake to record, etc. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: In one embodiment, the present invention includes semiconductor integrated code (SIC) corresponding to platform independent code of a processor manufacturer. This code may include embedded memory code (EMC) to initialize a memory via initialization of a memory controller, and a mapping of memory signals using an on-die termination (ODT) data structure accessible via the EMC, where the ODT data structure is provided by an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and corresponds to a parameterized rule set for a platform dependent memory configuration of the memory. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Methods and devices for networked applications are disclosed. In one embodiment, a device instructs a proxy server to receive traffic inbound for the device, and to notify the device when such traffic arrives. The device can then sleep, except for a notification channel that listens for a wakeup message from the proxy server. The proxy server detects traffic inbound for proxied devices, caches the data from that traffic, and issues notification messages to the proxied devices to cause those devices to download the cached data. One use for such a system is in instant messaging, as it allows a subscriber to place a battery-powered computing device in sleep mode while still advertising a continuous presence to her messaging buddies.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and system to partition hardware resources between operating systems. A determination is made whether a first PCI resource attached to a line of a bus is to be sequestered to a service operating system (OS). If so, the first PCI resource is sequestered to the service OS. It is next determined whether at least one other PCI resource shares the same line of the bus as the sequestered first PCI resource. If so, the at least one other PCI resource is selected and sequestered to the service OS. The first PCI resource and the other sequestered PCI resource are then hidden from a subsequently loaded host OS.

Abstract: A system and method for browsing on behalf of others. A browsing device sends a content request to a content server. The content request includes a request for content and/or resources suitable for execution on the target device, a target device profile and a browser profile. The browser profile is for enabling the server to return information regarding the requested content and/or resources for display by a browsing device. The target device profile is for enabling the server to return downloadable content to the browsing device corresponding to the information regarding the requested content and/or resources in a format suitable for execution on the target device. The browsing device receives the information regarding the requested content and/or resources in the form of Web pages, the Web pages comprising one or more of titles, information regarding the titles, video clips, media shots, screen shots, etc. The browsing device enables a user to select the desired content presented on the Web pages.
