  • Systems and methods for using reserved solid state nonvolatile memory storage capacity for system reduced power state
    Patent number: 8671241
    Abstract: Systems and methods that may be implemented to utilize the same portion of solid state nonvolatile memory for both managing system running data during a system working state and to store previous working state data written from system volatile memory during a low power state when the system volatile memory is depowered. The previous working state information may include data and instructions that may be employed to restore the previous working state of the information handling system prior to entering the low power state and terminating power to the system volatile memory.
