Memory channel training parameters are function of electrical characteristics of memory devices, processor(s) and memory channel(s). Training steps can be skipped if the BIOS can determine that the memory devices, motherboard and processor have not changed since the last boot. Memory devices contain a serial number for tracking purposes and most motherboards contain a serial number. Many processors do not provide a mechanism by which the BIOS can track the processor. Described herein are techniques that allow the BIOS to track a processor and detect a swap without violating privacy/security requirements.

Mechanism for detecting a no-processor swap condition and modification of high speed bus calibration during boot

Some embodiments provide determination of a processor performance characteristic associated with a first workload, and determination of a processor performance state for the first workload based on the performance characteristic. Further aspects may include determination of a second processor performance characteristic associated with a second workload, determination of a second processor performance state for the second workload based on the performance characteristic, determination of a similarity between the first performance characteristics and the second performance characteristics, determination of a cluster comprising the first workload and the second workload, and association of a third processor performance state with the cluster, wherein the third processor performance state is identical to the first processor performance state and to the second processor performance state.

Processor power management associated with workloads

Some embodiments involve determination of a first characteristic associated with a first interface displayed by a display, and determination of a second characteristic associated with a second interface displayed by the display. Embodiments may further involve determination of a first power consumption mode for the first interface based at least on the first characteristic, and determination of a second power consumption mode for the second interface based at least on the second characteristic, wherein the first power consumption mode is different from the second power consumption mode.

System to manage display power consumption

Embodiments of methods and apparatus to operate transceiver systems of a wireless platform are generally described herein. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Methods and apparatus for operating transceiver systems of a wireless platform

Actual power savings achieved by using a power savings mode in a communications device may be increased by analyzing the effects of the power savings mode on delays and using the analysis on which to base a decision as to whether or not to enter the power savings mode.

Power management in communication devices

Enhanced power management is achieved in a wireless communication system. In one aspect of the invention, power management profiles related to application type are used to achieve enhanced power management. In another aspect of the invention, the interval at which buffered broadcast and multicast traffic is transmitted to users in a network is adjusted during system operation based on a predetermined adjustment criterion to achieve enhanced power management.

Power management within a wireless communication system

Techniques for profiling systems, such as mobile or embedded devices, are provided. The techniques can profile code executing on these systems based on power used by that code. The system may profile power usage for the entire system or a subsystem, component, or functional unit thereof, for example. The system may determine when a specified amount of power has been used, and a performance sampler may then temporarily stop execution of the code and sample state data. This sampled state data may be provided to a performance analyzer that determines performance of the executing code.

Method and apparatus for profiling power performance of software applications

According to an embodiment of the invention, a physical location of a mobile device is determined, and a determination is made that a subject device is available for command via the mobile device based at least in part on the physical location of the mobile device. Information regarding voice recognition capability of the subject device is transferred to the mobile device. A voice command is received by the mobile device, the voice command is interpreted, and an instruction is provided to the subject device based at least in part on the voice command.

Speech recognition command via an intermediate mobile device

A technique for automatically identifying and assigning devices to device proxies in a policy based network management system is described. Each device proxy registers a filter with the device discovery. The filter may identify one or more characteristics of devices and may also include a communications protocol to be used by the device discovery to communicate with devices. The device discovery, preferably using the specified protocol, obtains device specific information and then identifies devices in the network that match the filters. The device discovery notifies each device proxy of which devices match the proxy's filter. Each device proxy updates its list of devices that it can policy manage based on the notification from the device discovery. Control policies are distributed from a policy server to each of the device proxies. Each device proxy then sends a policy to one or more devices to be policy managed.
