A system for providing security policy for a Linux-based security operating system, which includes a template policy module configured to set an authority using policy information of a downloaded application so that the template policy module can set…

A processor's performance state may be adjusted based on processor temperature. On transitions to a lower performance state due to the processor getting hotter, the processor's frequency is reduced prior to reducing the processor voltage. Thus, the p…

A system management mode (SMM) of operating a processor includes only a basic set of hardwired hooks or mechanisms in the processor for supporting SMM. Most of SMM functionality, such as the processing actions performed when entering and exiting SMM,…

BACKGROUND A conventional virtual-machine monitor (VMM) typically runs on a computer and presents to other software the abstraction of one or more virtual machines. Each virtual machine may function as a self-contained platform, running its own "gues…

BACKGROUND As processing resources have increased, demands to run multiple software programs and operating systems on a single microprocessor have also increased. To meet these demands virtual environments have been developed to allocate a single com…
