Abstract: A computer readable medium including encoded computer readable program code configured to be executed to perform a method for controlling access to a computing device is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of accessing a remote data store of secured login credentials; retrieving a set of secured login credentials from the remote data store; unsecuring the set of secured login credentials to create a set of unsecured login credentials on a local computing device; and supplying the set of unsecured login credentials to a login process that is configured to control access to the local computing device. Structures related to execution of the method are also provided.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that facilitate central processing unit (CPU) throttling utilizing processes to facilitate enhanced management of CPU resources and to mitigate system crashes. A process (or group thereof) that occupies CPU resources at a percentage greater than a selectable predetermined threshold percentage can be monitored, suspended for a variable time period, and resumed. The process can be monitored to determine whether suspension of the process successfully reduced the percentage of CPU resources occupied by the process. Feedback information can be generated to facilitate a determination regarding a most suitable increase or decrease to suspension time of the process in order to minimize the number of reiterations required to successfully throttle the process. The invention also provides for an Ignore functionality, via which a process (or group thereof) can be exempted from throttling based on an exemption of the process, group of processes, and/or user.
