Title:
COMPUTER SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING DATA SAVING IN THE SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3238097
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it possible to store only a necessary memory in a disk and to speed up hibernation processing.
SOLUTION: When a suspending message is issued from an operating system 102, a high speed hibernation software driver 103 executes memory arrangement such as the movement of space areas and the disuse of disusable areas in a main memory to secure a collected space area and informs a basic input/output system(BIOS) hibernation routine 101 of the obtained space area. The routine 101 saves only an area other than the space area informed of from the driver 103 in a hibernation area of a hard disk drive(HDD). Since only the using area is saved in the HDD, data transfer volume can be reduced and the hibernation processing can be accelerated.
