A computer system with a sleep function.

摘要

The computer system having the sleep mode is equipped with the register (34) to latch the data to designate the idle state in which CPU (10) does not execute effective data processing. BIOS decides whether or not CPU (10) is idle by reading data from register (34). If CPU (10) is idle, BIOS sets the sleep mode and stops feeding the clock pulse CP to CPU (10).
