  • Patent number: 8713336
    Abstract: The detecting unit detects a disconnection of communications that have been established with a display apparatus. When the disconnection of the communications is detected, the message generating unit generates a confirmation message that confirms whether the communications should be reestablished. The transmitting unit transmits the confirmation message to the display apparatus. The receiving unit receives a reply message that indicates whether the communications should be reestablished from the display apparatus. The main power supply controlling unit shuts down the main power supply when the reply message indicates that the communications should not be reestablished, or when no reply message is received.

    Abstract: An example information processing device includes a first memory that can store graph data indicating at least either nodes or edges constituting a graph and a second memory that can store graph data at an access speed faster than an access speed of the first memory. An obtaining unit obtains relational data containing relationships that can be converted into at least one graph. A determining unit determines whether to store certain graph data in the first or second memory, based on at least any of specification information specifying a storage destination for the certain graph data, or relations of connection with respect to the graph data stored in the first or second memory, and a data size of the relational data. A memory controller stores the certain graph data in the first or second memory based on the determination.

  • Patent number: 8416253
    Abstract: When a processor, which transits from a first mode that causes a guest operating system to operate to a second mode that causes a virtual machine monitor managing the guest operating system to operate, when previously set transition condition is satisfied, transits to the second mode, a determining unit determines a cause or the transition. When it is determined that an execution of a process related to a completion of writing the image information in an image storage unit on the guest operating system is the cause, a detecting unit detects an updated portion representing an unmatched portion of the image information between before and after writing.
