A computing system includes a base processing device, as well as a display device having a screen. In an attached mode, the base processing device is mechanically attached to the base processing device, and is to display a user interface on the display device using a mechanical data connection between the base processing device and the display device. In a detached mode, the base processing device is mechanically detached from the display device, and is to render the user interface and transmit the rendered user interface to the display device over a wireless data connection between the base processing device and the display device. The display device is to receive and responsively display the rendered user interface.

Device and display device having attached mode and detached mode

A computer system to continuously maintain a user session when a display device is mechanically connected and disconnected with a base processing device is described. The computer system allows the user to run applications during the user session on the base processing device and use the display device as a monitor. The display device can be detached from the base processing device, and the base processing device can continue running the applications for the user session. In this mode, the separated display device can be used as a tablet form factor computing device which can accept user input and send the user input to the base processing device. Among other functions, the base processing device can operate with the display device disconnected by generating session content for the display device, including, for example, sending application content, video streams, and other content to the display device.

Computer system to continuously maintain a user session when a display device is mechanically connected and disconnected

Implementations disclosed herein relate to thermal based prioritized computing application scheduling. For example, a processor may determine a prioritized computing application. The processor may schedule the prioritized computing application to transfer execution from a first processing unit to a second processing unit based on a thermal reserve energy associated with the second processing unit.
