摘要:
An information handling system includes a processing system, a low-power processing system, and a chipset. The processing system is configured to operate using a power system configured to power a shared resource of the processing system and a non-shared resource of the processing system, and to disable the non-shared resource during a reduced operating state of the processing system. The low-power processing system is configured to access the shared resource of the processing system during operation of the low-power processing system, wherein the operation of the low-power processing system is separate from the operation of the processing system. The chipset includes a processor of the processing system and operable to be enabled during operation of the processing system, wherein the processor is configured to be disabled during operation of the low-power processing system.

摘要:
An interrupt polling unit included within a bus interface unit of a microprocessor is provided. The interrupt polling unit causes a periodic interrupt acknowledge bus transaction to occur. If an interrupt controller receiving the interrupt acknowledge bus transaction returns an interrupt vector indicative of an interrupt service routine, then the microprocessor executes the interrupt service routine. The number of interrupt acknowledge bus transactions associated with the interrupt is reduced from two to one, and the microprocessor effectively prefetches the interrupt service routine before the interrupt is actually signaled. In one embodiment, the interrupt polling unit causes an interrupt acknowledge bus transaction to occur at the expiration of a programmable time interval. Another embodiment of the interrupt polling unit causes an interrupt acknowledge bus transaction subsequent to the occurrence of a bus transaction programmed by the user.

A laptop computer system includes a protected mode microprocessor capable of operating in restricted and unrestricted modes, and an arrangement which in response to a predetermined condition saves information from the processor and then forcibly switches the processor to its unrestricted mode of operation. The system includes a first interrupt mask register having a bit for indicating whether an interrupt is to be recognized by the processor, a second interrupt mask register having a bit for indicating whether the interrupt is to be recognized by a further circuit, and an arrangement responsive to a load of the first mask register for conforming the bit of the second mask register to the bit of the first mask register in a manner invisible to an application program being executed by the processor.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for transferring original data which includes images, between two stations located a distance apart, without actual transmission of the image portion of the data. A library of images are provided at each of the stations. The image to be transferred is processed into a description of the image which allows the reproduction of the image at the receiving end of the transmission using the images contained in the image library in the receiving station.
摘要:
A laptop computer system includes a protected mode microprocessor capable of operating in restricted and unrestricted modes, and an arrangement which in response to a predetermined condition saves information from the processor and then forcibly switches the processor to its unrestricted mode of operation. When running a multi-tasking operating system where an application program is being executed in a restricted mode, a suspend/resume operation can be carried out in which the system is substantially powered down and then powered back up, and will resume the interrupted application with the restricted mode back-in effect. Further, set-up changes such as adjustment of the processor speed can be made without exiting the application program running in the restricted mode.
