Sleep (computing)
Sleep mode (or suspend to RAM) is a low power mode for electronic devices such as computers, televisions, and remote controlled devices. These modes save significantly on electrical consumption compared to leaving a device fully on and, upon resume, allow the user to avoid having to reissue instructions or to wait for a machine to reboot. Many devices signify this power mode with a pulsed or red colored LED power light. Computers In computers, entering a sleep state is roughly equivalent to "pausing" the state of the machine. When restored, the operation continues from the same point, having the same applications and files open. Sleep Sleep mode has gone by various names, including ''Stand By'', ''Suspend'' and ''Suspend to RAM''. Machine state is held in Random-access memory, RAM and, when placed in sleep mode, the computer cuts power to unneeded subsystems and places the RAM into a minimum power state, just sufficient to retain its data. Because of the large power saving, mos ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
