    Abstract: A mechanism where the locked pages are saved and restored by a hardware accelerator which is transparent to the OS. Prior to standby entry, the OS puts all DMA capable devices in the lowest-powered device low-power state after disabling bus mastering. The OS flushes all pageable memory to an NVM (in segments that are kept in self-refresh) and provides a list of pinned and locked pages in the DRAM to a power management controller (p-unit). The p-unit checks for all Bus Mastering DMA to be turned off and checks if a next OS timer wake event (TNTE) is greater than a threshold, to decide whether to enable or disable PASR or MPSM in Standby. If the conditions are met, the p-unit triggers a hardware accelerator to consolidate the pinned and locked pages in the DRAM to certain segment(s) of the DRAM during standby states, making it transparent to the OS.

    Abstract: Embodiments are generally directed to sharing of environmental data for client device usage. An embodiment of a client device includes a processor; an environmental sensor to sense an environmental condition, an output of the sensor being a local environmental sensor value; and a wireless receiver to receive environmental data for a certain proximity area from a second client device according to an environmental data sharing protocol via a wireless network. The environmental data sharing protocol allows receipt of the environmental data without requiring pairing, bonding, or other relationship of client devices.

    Abstract: In one example an electronic device comprises a power supply comprising an operating power rail and a standby power rail, a processing platform capable to switch between an operating power state and at least one low power state, a switch to selectively couple a power input of the processing platform to one of the operating power rail or the standby power output rail and logic, at least partially including hardware logic, to activate the switch based at least in part on the operating state of the processing platform. Other examples may be described.
