ABSTRACT:
A power management system for a computing platform is described. In one embodiment, the power management system provides additional device states which the device controllers of the platform assume when the device controllers are operational but idle. These additional device states are states in which the device controller commits to certain types of inactivity. In another embodiment, the power management system provides additional platform modes which guarantee processor inactivity and/or deference of particular platform events while the mode is in effect.
