Building the Power Efficient PC A Developer's Guide to Acpi Power Management

A comprehensive hardware and software engineering guide for designing power-managed PCs, this book provides developers and integrators with practical knowledge and design techniques for building PCs that address the increasing demand for energy conservation. With power management, a PC can have lower overall power utilization, automated off-hours maintenance, and an improved end-user experience. Instead of rehashing specifications, a clear explanation of how a properly designed system functions during power state transitions is shown in detail and how those transitions can be implemented in the hardware and software is demonstrated.Kolinski, Jerzy is the author of 'Building the Power Efficient PC A Developer's Guide to Acpi Power Management' with ISBN 9780970284686 and ISBN 0970284683.
