Advanced Power Management
Device power states APM also defines power states that APM-aware hardware can implement. There is no requirement that an APM-aware device implement all states. The four states are: Device On: The device is in full power mode. Device Power Managed: The device is still powered on, but some functions may not be availabl...

Advanced Power Management
CPU The CPU core (defined in APM as the CPU clock, cache, system bus and system timers) is treated specially in APM, as it is the last device to be powered down, and the first device to be powered back up. The CPU core is always controlled through the APM BIOS (there is no option to control it through a driver). Driver...

Advanced Power Management
In ATA drives The ATA specification defines APM provisions for hard drives via the subcommand , which specifies a trade-off between spin-down frequency and always-on performance. Unlike the BIOS-side APM, the ATA APM has never been deprecated. Aggressive spin-down frequencies may reduce drive lifespan by unnecessarily ...

Alternative algebra
In abstract algebra, an alternative algebra is an algebra in which multiplication need not be associative, only alternative. That is, one must have for all x and y in the algebra. Every associative algebra is obviously alternative, but so too are some strictly non-associative algebras such as the octonions. The associa...

Alternative algebra
Alternative algebras are so named because they are the algebras for which the associator is alternating. The associator is a trilinear map given by . By definition, a multilinear map is alternating if it vanishes whenever two of its arguments are equal. The left and right alternative identities for an algebra are equiv...
