Abstract: When the speed of head movement exceeds the processing capability of the system, a reduced depiction is displayed. As one example, the resolution may be reduced using coarse pixel shading in order to create a new depiction at the speed of head movement. In accordance with another embodiment, only the region the user is looking at is processed in full resolution and the remainder of the depiction is processed at lower resolution. In still another embodiment, the background depictions may be blurred or grayed out to reduce processing time.

Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to providing uniform servicing of workloads at a set of servers in a computer network. A platform determines and meets the performance requirements of a workload by scaling a performance capability of a group of processing units such as central processing units (CPUs) which are assigned to service the workload. This can involve increasing the power (P) state of one or more of the processing units to a highest P state in the group, so that every processing units in the group provides the same performance for a given workload. The platform can manage scaling of the processing units performance by reading a performance profile list which indicates minimum and maximum scaling points for programs that are executed to service the workload.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a processor may include processing circuits to execute instructions. The processor may also include at least one circuit to: detect a management mode trigger event during operation of the processor in a first power state, the management mode trigger event to initiate a management mode in the processor; in response to a detection of the management mode trigger event, switch the processor from the first power state to a second power state; and after a switch of the processor from the first power state to the second power state, initiate the management mode in the processor. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Described is a system where memory can be allocated for use by an adapter pre-boot and preserved for use post-boot. A BIOS can allocate for pre-boot hardware operations (e.g., graphics drivers, framebuffers, etc.) and mark this allocated memory as preserved. An indication of the allocated memory can be provided for an OS, such that post-boot, the OS can reclaim and reallocate this memory.

Abstract: A power-management scheme where when a system-on-chip (SoC) is in an active state, control and monitoring logic or circuitry turns off all wake logic or circuits for various associated intellectual property (IP) blocks. Based on user defined operating system power manager (OSPM) policies, OSPM kicks off an interrupt to the control and monitoring logic or circuitry to turn off or power gate the wake logic for individual IP blocks in the SoC. As such, wake logic that are idle in active state (e.g., S0 state) and would otherwise draw power in the S0 state are now turned off, thus saving power and/or extending battery life for the system. When the SoC is in a low power state, then the control and monitoring logic or circuitry selectively turns on the wake logic for the associated IP blocks based on detected user presence for the computing system having the SoC.

Abstract: A power-up scheme for a computing system that applies a biometric sensor (e.g., a fingerprint sensor, eye sensor, etc.) to authenticate a user before enabling power-up of the computing system or to resume transition to a power state (e.g., one of the power states defined by the Advance Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)). Output of the biometric sensor is compared against data of a registered user for a match. The data may include an original copy of an output of the biometric sensor saved in a non-volatile memory (e.g., serial peripheral interface (SPI) flash device). If a match exists, a logic in the computing system will allow the computing system to power-up. In the absence of a match, the computing system will not be powered up. In some examples, battery charging is also disabled if the match is not found.

Abstract: Technologies for synchronized overclocking setting between multiple networked computing devices include a master computing device and multiple slave computing devices communicating over a network. The master computing device establishes a connection with the slave computing devices. Establishing the connection may include synchronizing the slave computing devices with a master time clock of the master computing device. The master computing device determines its own overclocking setting and requests overclocking settings from the slave computing devices. The overclocking settings may include processor frequency, processor voltage, or other overclocking parameters. The master computing device determines a best overclocking setting from its own overclocking setting and the overclocking settings received from the slave computing device. The master computing device advertises the best overclocking setting to the slave computing devices. The slave computing devices may implement the best overclocking setting.
