METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING DATA IN A COMPUTER SYSTEM

摘要

The present invention discloses a method and system for controlling data in a computer system when the computer system looses power, the computer system comprising a computing engine. The method and system comprises activating a plurality of super capacitors to supply power to the computing engine based upon power being removed from the computer system and reconfiguring the data in the computing engine. Through the use of a system and method in accordanc e with the present invention, a user is able to correctly store large amounts of newly written and modified data from the volatile memory to the non-volatile memory in the event of a sudden external system power loss. Furthermore, the user of a system and method in accordance with the present invention will be able to rapidly and irretrievably erase data from the non-volatile memory automatically, in the event of a sudden loss of external power or manually. This capability consumes minimal space and weight and is implemented in an affordable manner.
