Abstract
Various techniques for reducing power consumption of a computing device are described herein. In one example, a method includes detecting that the computing device is to execute a first operation for a first hardware component. The method can also include determining that the computing device is not to execute a second operation for a second hardware component during a period of time. Furthermore, the method can include loading operation data corresponding to the first operation into a processor cache from a non-volatile storage device and detecting that the first operation is not to request memory data from a volatile storage device. The method can also include removing power from at least one storage device.
