Abstract
Methods and apparatus relating to Priority Based 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.
Claims30
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- logic to allow one or more of a plurality of applications to be executed based on policy information, corresponding to the plurality of applications, and after the processor is to exit a low power consumption state,
- wherein the policy information is to indicate which one of the plurality of applications is to be awakened after the processor exits the low power consumption state.
The apparatus of claim wherein the logic is to prioritize which of the one or more of the plurality of applications are allowed to wake the processor from the low power consumption state.
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- logic 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 is to indicate 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 be executed based on policy information corresponding to the plurality of applications, and after the processor exits a low power consumption state,
- wherein the policy information indicates which one of the plurality of applications is to be awakened after the processor exits 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 Which one of the plurality of applications is to be allowed to cause the processor to exit from the low power consumption state.
