  • The Power Manager
    HW 24 - Little PowerBook in Slumberland Page: 1 NOTE: This Technical Note has been retired. Please see the Technical Notes page for current documentation. CONTENTS The purpose of this Note is to describe the ramifications of resting, sleeping, and The Power Manager power-saving modes in the PowerBook family of Macintosh computers, how they may References affect your application, and the appropriate Downloadables ways to defeat them, when appropriate. It also describes some nonintuitive ramifications of working with a battery-powered computer. [Oct 01 192] The Power Manager In each PowerBook is a separate processor called the Power Manager. Its function is to monitor and control the power consumption and battery charging of the system. In doing this, it turns on and off various hardware subsystems, changes or stops the CPU's clock speed, watches the battery voltage, and, when charging, sets the bulk charge or trickle charge modes of the battery charging circuit. As you can see, the power draw of the system is a dynamically changing value, depending on which subsystems are currently in use, the speed of the processor, and whether or not charger circuit power is available. The Power Manager is designed to optimize for the maximum battery life and controls the various operating modes in response to user preferences that allow the user to override or push back in time the onset of these modes. The Many Faces of the Power Manager The PowerBook 100 (just like the original portable) has four operating modes: normal, rest, sleep, and shutdown. The PowerBook 140 has four operating modes: normal, rest (power cycling), sleep, and shutdown.

If a better alternative does turn up, it could be made available within a few months of introduction, either as a standard keyboard or as an option. Although the keyboard layout is nearly final, it has not frozen since it is not yet on the critical path. One remaining potential variation is the possible removal of the cursor cluster from the layout. 2. Engineering is concerned that the current cost objectives may not be feasible. 3. Although there is no requirement to have the Problem Analysis Guide (PAG) stowed within LISA, Engineering will continue to pursue methods by which the PAG may be attached to the main unit.

    AccessionIndex: TCD-SCSS-T.20170830.010 Accession Date: 30-Aug-2017 Accession By: Hans-Jurgen Kugler Object name: Apple Newton MessagePad 2000 Vintage: c.1997 Synopsis: Apple personal digital assistant (PDA) with handwriting recognition, plus keyboard and power supply, Model: H0149, S/N: ????. Description: The Apple Newton was introduced in Aug-1993 after a 6-year gestation that also involved gestation of the company Advanced RISC Machines (ARM). It began with ambitious goals but eventually was re-imagined as a personal digital assistant (PDA). Similar devices had existed for a decade, for example the Psion Organiser was introduced in 1984, but they were not called PDAs. Not only did the Newton introduce the term PDA, but it also became the first such device to feature handwriting recognition. The Newton was championed by John Sculley, and then discontinued by his rival Steve Jobs in 1998 after the latter rejoined Apple. It is very likely that the concept led directly to the iPad and iPhone. An operating system, NewtonOS , and a language, NewtonScript , were invented for it, with garbage collection, soup storage and user-interface toolkit, specifically tuned for designs with large ROM and small RAM capacities. The original Newton MessagePad (Model H1000 or Junior ) had a 20MHz ARM 610 CPU, 4MB of ROM, 640kB of RAM, a 336 x 240 monochrome display, RS422 serial and LocalTalk interfaces, and SHARP ASK infrared communications. It also had one PCMCIA-II slot (5V or 12V). It ran NewtonOS versions 1.0-1.11, and it could be powered either from four internal AAA or NiCd rechargeable batteries or an external power supply.

These advances, along with breakdowns of several trends including Moore’s Law, have prompted an explosion of processors and accelerators that promise even greater computational and ma- chine learning capabilities. These processors and accelerators are coming in many forms, from CPUs and GPUs to ASICs, FPGAs, and dataflow accelerators. This paper surveys the current state of these processors and accelerators that have been publicly announced with performance and power consumption numbers. The performance and power values are plotted on a scatter graph and a number of dimensions and observations from the trends on this plot are discussed and analyzed. For instance, there are interesting trends in the plot regarding power consumption, numerical precision, and inference versus training. We then select and benchmark two commercially- available low size, weight, and power (SWaP) accelerators as these processors are the most interesting for embedded and Fig. 1. Canonical AI architecture consists of sensors, data conditioning, mobile machine learning inference applications that are most algorithms, modern computing, robust AI, human-machine teaming, and users (missions). Each step is critical in developing end-to-end AI applications and applicable to the DoD and other SWaP constrained users.
