Saving energy of a processor during waiting events

摘要

A method of optimizing power consumption in an electrical device, the method comprising: receiving, by a processor (502), instructions (200) to enter a queue, the instructions (200) including a sleep decision index (212, 300), having a sleep opcode (302), a parameter (304) and a state (306); monitoring, by the processor (502), of the parameter (304) specified by the sleep decision index (212, 300); initiating, by the Processor (502) of instructions (212, 300, 400) to enter a power saving mode based on a determination that the parameter (304) has reached a value specified by the sleep decision index (212, 300), the value based on a History of previous events or states is determined and wherein the determination is based on the application of an algorithm specified by the sleep opcode (302) to the parameter (304) initiating, by the processor (502), instructions (212, 300, 400) for exiting the energy saving mode based on the parameter (304); and providing a notification of a current state of the processor (502) via a user interface to a user.
