Abstract

A method of operating a device is provided. The method includes transitioning the GPU to a substantially disabled state in response to a first received signal, and generating, while the GPU is in the substantially disabled state, a response signal in response to a second received signal. The response signal is substantially similar to a second response signal that would be generated by the GPU in a powered state in response to the second received signal.
