A physical Wake-on-LAN connector (white object in foreground) featured on the IBM PCI Token-Ring Adapter 2 Wake-on-LAN (WoL or WOL) [ a ] is an Ethernet or Token Ring computer networking standard that allows a computer to be turned on or awakened from sleep mode by a network message.
The Wake-on-LAN implementation is designed to be simple and to be quickly processed by the circuitry present on the network interface controller using minimal power. Because Wake-on-LAN operates below the IP protocol layer, IP addresses and DNS names are meaningless and so the MAC address is required.
Hibernation (also known as suspend to disk, or Safe Sleep on Macintosh computers [1]) in computing is powering down a computer while retaining its state.When hibernation begins, the computer saves the contents of its random access memory (RAM) to a hard disk or other non-volatile storage.
Idle is a state that a computer processor is in when it is not being used by any program.. Every program or task that runs on a computer system occupies a certain amount of processing time on the CPU.
The system treats every signal( ) to wake one thread as a broadcast( ) to wake all of them, thus breaking any possibly expected 1:1 relationship between signals and wakeup. [1] If ten threads are waiting, only one will win and the other nine will experience spurious wakeup.
When debugging a concurrent and distributed system of systems, a bootloop (also written boot loop or boot-loop) is a diagnostic condition of an erroneous state that occurs on computing devices; when those devices repeatedly fail to complete the booting process and restart before a boot sequence is finished, a restart might prevent a user from ...
A laptop computer or notebook computer, also known as a laptop or notebook, is a small, portable personal computer (PC). Laptops typically have a clamshell form factor with a flat-panel screen on the inside of the upper lid and an alphanumeric keyboard and pointing device on the inside of the lower lid.
