  • Adaptive power control
    Patent number: 8566627
    Abstract: A method for controlling the power used by a computer including the steps of measuring the operating characteristics of a central processor of the computer, determining when the operating characteristics of the central processor are significantly different than required by the operations being conducted, and changing the operating characteristics of the central processor to a level commensurate with the operations being conducted.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 14, 2009
    Date of Patent: October 22, 2013
    Inventors: Sameer Halepete, H. Peter Anvin, Zongjian Chen, Godfrey P. D'Souza, Marc Fleischmann, Keith Klayman, Thomas Lawrence, Andrew Read

  • STORING CONTEXT INFORMATION PRIOR TO NOT SUPPLYING POWER TO A PROCESSOR
    Publication number: 20120210155
    Abstract: A CPU (1) automatically preserves the CPU context in a computer memory (5) that remains powered-up when the CPU is powered down in sleep mode. By means of the preserved CPU context, the CPU is able to instantly and transparently resume program execution at the instruction of the program that was asserted for execution when the CPU was powered down. The CPU is permitted to power down frequently, even during execution of a program, and results in reduced average overall power consumption.

  • Restoring processor context in response to processor power-up
    Patent number: 8140872
    Abstract: A CPU (1) automatically preserves the CPU context in a computer memory (5) that remains powered-up when the CPU is powered down in sleep mode. By means of the preserved CPU context, the CPU is able to instantly and transparently resume program execution at the instruction of the program that was asserted for execution when the CPU was powered down. The CPU is permitted to power down frequently, even during execution of a program, and results in reduced average overall power consumption.

  • System and method for saving and restoring a processor state without executing any instructions from a first instruction set
    Patent number: 7730330
    Abstract: A CPU (1) automatically preserves the CPU context in a computer memory (5) that remains powered-up when the CPU is powered down in sleep mode. By means of the preserved CPU context, the CPU is able to instantly and transparently resume program execution at the instruction of the program that was asserted for execution when the CPU was powered down. The CPU is permitted to power down frequently, even during execution of a program, and results in reduced average overall power consumption.
