<p>An apparatus, method, and system are provided for optimizing computer performance while a first processor is in a sleep mode of operation. For example, an embodiment of the apparatus includes a first processor, a second processor (also referred to herein as a“sleep”processor), and one or more peripheral devices. When the first processor is in a sleep mode of operation, the sleep processor is configured to control one or more functions of the computer system incorporating the first processor and the sleep processor. These functions can include applications that may not otherwise be executed while the first processor is in sleep mode such as, for example, functions of the one or more peripheral devices. As a result, power management of the computer system is improved since the first processor remains in sleep mode for a longer period of time.</p> |
