Abstract
Methods and apparatus relating to Based Priority Application Event Control (PAEC) to reduce application events are described. In one embodiment, PAEC may determine which applications (and their corresponding sub-system(s)) may cause a processor or platform to exit a low power consumption state. In an embodiment, PAEC may determine which applications (and their corresponding sub-system(s)) may resume operations after a processor or platform exit a low power consumption state. Other embodiments are also claimed and disclosed.
Claims15
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- logic circuitry, coupled to the processor, to allow one or more of a plurality of applications to cause the processor to exit from a low power consumption state based on policy information corresponding to the plurality of applications;
- and
- memory to store the policy information,
- wherein the policy information is to indicate a priority of which one of the plurality of applications is to be allowed to cause the processor to exit from the low power consumption state.
A computer-readable medium to store instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to:
- allow one or more of a plurality of applications to cause the processor to exit from a low power consumption state based on policy information corresponding to the plurality of applications,
- wherein the policy information indicates a priority of which one of the plurality of applications is to be allowed to cause the processor to exit from the low power consumption state.
