IPC Code(s): G06F3/06
Abstract: an information handling system is provided that utilizes two separate processors in a big-little hybrid configuration and transitions control over certain processes that may be active during sleep mode from the big, or main, processor with higher processing capabilities to the little, or hybrid, processor with greater power efficiency upon sleep mode being triggered. control of the processes can be transitioned back to the main processor upon sleep mode being terminated. transitioning control of these processes in this way results in reduced battery drainage compared to typical sleep mode since the provided information handling system performs the background and value adding activities in sleep mode using a processor that has greater power efficiency than which is used in typical sleep mode.

Abstract: workspace instantiations are monitored for potentially suspicious behavior. a client endpoint computer creates and maintains a log of historical events associated with a workspace instantiation. each time the client endpoint computer processes an event associated with the workspace instantiation, the client endpoint computer adds and timestamps a new entry in the log of the historical events associated with the workspace instantiation. the log of the historical events thus represents a rich database description of the workspace instantiation, its corresponding workspace definition file, its corresponding workspace lifecycle events, and their corresponding timestamps. a workspace orchestration service (perhaps provided by a server) may monitor the log of historical events and flag or alert of any entries indicating suspicious behavior. any current workspace instantiation may thus be terminated as a security precaution.

Abstract: workspace instantiations are monitored for potentially suspicious behavior. when a workspace is instantiated, a client endpoint computer creates a log of historical workspace instantiations. each time the client endpoint computer requests, receives, or executes a workspace, the client endpoint computer adds and timestamps a new entry in the log of historical workspace instantiations. the log of historical workspace instantiations thus represents a rich database description of each workspace, its corresponding workspace definition file, and its corresponding timestamp. a workspace orchestration service may monitor how frequently the log of historical workspace instantiations is generated and flag or alert of unusual or anomalous counts. any current workspace instantiation may thus be terminated as a security precaution.
