SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DYNAMIC POWER CONTROL BASED ON A CACHE SIZE IN VOLATILE MEMORY

摘要

A system and method for ensuring information present in volatile memory is moved to persistent memory before power is removed. An information handling system stores a time value corresponding to an amount of time for power to be supplied to the information handling system after a signal is received to power down the information handling system. An embedded controller determines the amount of information present in volatile memory, determines an amount of time needed to move the information to persistent memory, and adjusts the time value as needed to ensure power is supplied to the system until the information has been moved to persistent memory.
