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: 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: 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 overlocking 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.

Abstract: Techniques for wireless charging in a system, method, and apparatus are described herein. An apparatus for charging at a wireless power receiver may include logic. The logic is configured to supply voltage received at the wireless power receiver at a first power level to a battery that is initially fully discharged, wherein the power of the first power level is received during a predefined interval of a fully discharged battery protocol. The logic is to monitor a second power level available at the battery, and initiate a wireless handshake with a wireless power transmitter inductively coupled to the wireless power receiver indicating configurations of the wireless power receiver upon detection of the second power level meeting or exceeding a predefined threshold.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention describe apparatuses, systems and methods to detect, during a host platform sleep state, a peripheral device audio jack plug being coupled to (e.g., inserted into) an audio jack connection socket. A specific sleep state of the host platform may be determined, and a system wake event may be generated so that the host platform wakes from the sleep state in response to the peripheral device being coupled to the audio jack connection socket. Thus, embodiments of the invention incorporated in handheld mobile computing devices such as smartphones and tablet computers with limited input/output (I/O) provide a user with alternative means for waking the device from a sleep state.
