An embodiment of the present invention is a method including: a step for causing a display unit to display information of each of detected peripheral devices as a search result from a searching step; a step for causing a storage unit to store information of a peripheral device selected by a user from among the detected peripheral devices; an installation step for installing a driver that is compatible with the selected peripheral device; and a determination step for determining a port that is capable of communicating with the selected peripheral device, based on the information stored in the storage unit, wherein an installation process by the installation step and a communication-capable port determination process by the determination step are executed concurrently.

An information processing device includes: a memory; and a processor coupled to the memory and configured to: notify a first virtual machine that is an allocation destination of an expansion card of that the expansion card is removed in a pseudo manner in a case where an operation on the expansion card mounted on an expansion slot of the information processing device is requested; switch the allocation destination of the expansion card from the first virtual machine to a second virtual machine dedicated to setting in a case where the removal of the expansion card is notified in the pseudo manner; switch the allocation destination of the expansion card from the second virtual machine to the first virtual machine in a case where the operation on the expansion card ends; and notify the first virtual machine of that the expansion card after the operation end is inserted.

An information processing apparatus that uses a graphical processing unit (GPU) for inference processing, the information processing apparatus includes a processor. The processor configured to monitor a message output from an application that executes the inference processing. The processor configured to determine, from a pattern of the message, timing of a start and an end of core processing that uses the GPU, the core processing serving as a core of the inference processing. The processor configured to start the core processing when there is no process executing another core processing and accumulates a process identifier that identifies a process of the core processing in a queue when there is a process executing the another core processing in a case where the timing of the start of the core processing is determined.

An electronic device may include a first housing, a second housing, at least one wireless communication circuit, and at least one processor. When the electronic device is in the first form, the at least one processor may establish a wireless communication connection with a first peripheral device mapped to the first form using the at least one wireless communication circuit, and obtain that the electronic device changes from the first form to the second form using the at least one sensor, and in response to changing to the second form, establish a wireless communication connection with a second peripheral device mapped to the second form using the at least one wireless communication circuit.

In accordance with one disclosed method, a client device may be caused to present a user interface for an application, the user interface enabling selective access to a plurality of resources via the client device. A state of a peripheral device that is connectable to the client device may be determined and, based at least in part on the state of the peripheral device, at least a first resource, from among the plurality of resources, may be identified with which the peripheral device can interact. Based at least in part on the identifying of the first resource, the user interface may be caused to include at least a first selectable user interface element that, when selected, causes the client device to access to the first resource so as to enable the peripheral device to interact with the first resource.

A variable power bus (VPB) cable, such as a USB Type-C cable, is validated for actual current capacity with respect to a specified power rating for the cable. The power cable validation is performed when the cable is connected to a power storage adapter and a portable information handling system. The validation includes, prior to negotiating a power delivery contract for electrical power to be supplied to the information handling system from the VPB port via the VPB cable, applying a first voltage to the VPB cable to identify a first indication of a current capacity of the VPB cable; and when the first indication confirms that the current capacity of the VPB cable corresponds to a specified power rating for the VPB cable, enabling the power delivery contract to be negotiated according to the specified power rating, otherwise blocking the power delivery contract using the VPB cable.
