A processing apparatus is provided which includes memory configured to store hardware parameter settings for each of a plurality of applications. The processing apparatus also includes a processor in communication with the memory configured to store, in the memory, the hardware parameter settings, identify one of the plurality of applications as a currently executing application and control an operation of hardware by tuning a plurality of hardware parameters according to the stored hardware parameter settings for the identified application.

A processor core associated with a first cache initiates entry into a powered-down state. In response, information representing a set of entries of the first cache are stored in a retention region that receives a retention voltage while the processor core is in a powered-down state. Information indicating one or more invalidated entries of the set of entries is also stored in the retention region. In response to the processor core initiating exit from the powered-down state, entries of the first cache are restored using the stored information representing the entries and the stored information indicating the at least one invalidated entry.

An ultrasound imaging system includes a processor that is programmed to operate the system in a normal operating state and two or more lesser power states. The processor lowers the operating power state to a lesser power state upon detecting one or more operating conditions such as no tissue been imaged in a predetermined time limit or that the imaging system or transducer has not been moved in a time limit. Upon awakening from a power off state, the processor implements a lesser power state before operating at the normal operating state to avoid undue power use until the transducer is positioned to image tissue.

An exercise information acquisition equipment of the present invention is an electronic equipment which builds therein a battery, is driven with electric power of the battery and acquires information relating to an exercise that a user performs and includes a battery remaining amount acquisition device which acquires a battery remaining amount of the battery, a time information acquisition device which acquires information relating to a time taken for the exercise which is information that how long the user plans to perform the exercise and an electric power control device which controls an operation pertaining to a power consumption reduction of the electronic equipment on the basis of the battery remaining amount and the information relating to the time taken for the exercise.

The various embodiments disclose an electronic device including: a storage including a non-volatile memory having a buffer space and a storage space, a storage device controller, and a storage interface, and a processor. According to various embodiments, the processor may be configured to perform control to determine whether the storage supports a high speed data storage mode using a buffer space of a non-volatile memory of the storage, activate a function of writing data buffered in the buffer space of the non-volatile memory into a storage space of the non-volatile memory based on the storage interface operating in a first state based on the storage supporting the high speed data storage mode, and transition the storage interface of the storage to the first state based on no request to the storage being generated during a predetermined time period based on the storage interface operating in a second state.

Platform power management includes boosting performance in a platform power boost mode or restricting performance to keep a power or temperature under a desired threshold in a platform power cap mode. Platform power management exploits the mutually exclusive nature of activities and the associated headroom created in a temperature and/or power budget of a server platform to boost performance of a particular component while also keeping temperature and/or power below a threshold or budget.

Systems, apparatuses, and methods for saving power on a bus interface are described. A system includes a host, a device, and a repeater interposed between the host and the device. While the host and device are in a low-power state, the repeater monitors a first bus to determine if the device has woken up. When the repeater detects a remote wake-up event initiated by the device, the repeater generates an interrupt which is sent to the host. The host responds to the interrupt by initiating a resume wake-up event procedure that assumes the device is still asleep. In this way, the host is able to stay in the low-power state longer while also using a wake-up procedure that does not require the host to be aware of the existence of the repeater.

A data fabric routes requests between the plurality of requestors. A probe filter tracks the state of cached lines of memory at a probe filter coupled to the data fabric. Responsive to the data fabric leaving a non-operational power state while all requestors that are probe filter clients are in a non-operational power state, the power management controller delays a probe filter initialization state in which data regarding cached lines is initialized following the non-operational power state.
