File Allocation Table - Fragmentation

1 Later DOS versions also provided built-in support for look-ahead sector buffering and

came with dynamically loadable disk caching programs working on physical or logical sector level, often utilizing EMS or XMS

memory and sometimes providing adaptive caching strategies or even run in protected mode through DPMS or Cloaking to increase performance by gaining direct access to the cached data in linear memory rather than

through conventional DOS APIs.

1 DPMs commonly administer intravenous (IV) sedation.


HDMI 1.4 - Relationship with DisplayPort

1 DisplayPort version 1.2 added the ability to transport multiple audio/video streams,

doubled the maximum data rate from 10.8 Gbit/s to 21.6 Gbit/s, increased the AUX channel bandwidth from 1 Mbit/s to 720 Mbit/s, added support for multiple color

spaces including xvYCC, scRGB and Adobe RGB 1998, added global time-code for audio

synchronisation and the ability to transfer Ethernet, USB 2.0, DPMS, and other types of

data over the AUX channel


Digital Visual Interface - Display power management

1 The DVI specification includes signaling for reducing power consumption. Similar to the

analog VESA Display Power Management Signaling|VESA display power management

signaling (DPMS) standard, a connected device can turn a monitor off when the connected device is powered down, or

programmatically if the display controller (graphics card) of the device supports it.

Devices with this capability can also attain Energy Star certification.


DisplayPort - Overview

1 A bi-directional, half-duplex auxiliary channel carries device management and device control data for the Main Link, such as VESA Extended display

identification data|EDID, Monitor Control Command Set|MCCS, and VESA Display Power Management

Signaling|DPMS standards


Video Electronics Standards Association - Standards

1 * Display Data Channel (DDC), a data link protocol which allows a host

device to control an attached display and communicate EDID, DPMS, MCCS

and similar messages


Video Electronics Standards Association - Standards

1 * VESA Display Power Management Signaling (DPMS), which allows

monitors to be queried on the types of power saving modes they support


Privileged mode - Implementations

1 In addition to this, DR-DOS' EMM386 3.xx can optionally run some

modules (such as DOS Protected Mode Services|DPMS) on ring 1

instead


NetWare - NetWare ELS / NetWare Lite / Personal NetWare

1 The NetWare Lite disk cache NLCACHE had been reworked into NWCACHE, which was easier to set up and could utilize DPMS as well, thereby reducing the DOS memory footprint and significantly speeding

up disk performance


QEMM - DOS equivalents

1 DR-DOS EMM386 could fill free areas with UMBs or map RAM over unused ROM areas in virtual mode, provide

support for DOS Protected Mode Interface|DPMI (and - in some special

issues - DOS Protected Mode Services|DPMS), and load the support

for pre-emptive multitasking and multithreading components of the

operating system.https://store.theartofservice.com/itil-2011-foundation-complete-certification-kit-fourth-edition-study-guide-ebook-and-online-course.html

DR-DOS - PalmDOS

1 As well as a ROM-executing kernel, PalmDOS had palmtop-type support for features such as

PCMCIA PC Cards (with DOS Protected Mode Services|DPMS support), Power Management

(BatteryMAX and the $IDLE$ device driver with its patented [http://www.wikipatents.com/US-Patent-

5355501/idle-detection-system dynamic idle detection] by Roger Gross and John Constant), MINIMAX task switcher support for PIM (DOS

technology)|PIM (Personal Information Modules) applications stored and executed from ROM via

XIP (Execute-In-Place), etc.


DR-DOS - Contribution by Novell

1 Novell DOS 7 introduced much advanced memory management

including new support for DPMI (DOS Protected Mode Interface) and DPMS

(DOS Protected Mode Services) as well as more flexible loadhigh options


NetWare Loadable Module - Client-side NLMs with NIOS

1 In 1996, Novell introduced a new 32-bit DOS/Windows NetWare#PNW|NetWare client (Client32 based on ODI32/NIOS), replacing

the former 16-bit client based on Open Data-Link Interface|ODI/VLM. Its Nios

(disambiguation)|NIOS (NetWare Input/Output System) used techniques similar to DOS

Protected Mode Services|DPMS to relocate and run NLM in protected mode and

extended memory in order to reduce the conventional memory footprint of the client.


Terminate and stay resident - Faults

1 However, since DOS and most DOS programs run in real mode (VCPI or DPMI makes a

protected mode program look like a real mode program to DOS and the rest of the system by

switching back and forth between the two modes), DOS TSRs and device drivers also run in real mode, and so any time one gets control, the DOS extender has to switch back to real mode

until it relinquishes control, incurring a time penalty (unless they utilize techniques such as DOS Protected Mode Services|DPMS or Helix

Cloaking|CLOAKING).https://store.theartofservice.com/itil-2011-foundation-complete-certification-kit-fourth-edition-study-guide-ebook-and-online-course.html

Expanded memory - Software emulation

1 Interaction between extended memory, expanded memory

emulation and DOS extenders ended up being regulated by the XMS,

Virtual Control Program Interface (VCPI), DOS Protected Mode Interface

(DPMI) and DOS Protected Mode Services (DPMS) specifications.


DOS Protected Mode Services

1 'DOS Protected Mode Services' ('DPMS') is a set of extended DOS memory management services to

allow DPMS-enabled DOS drivers to load and execute in extended memory and protected mode.



1 The DPMS clients do so through DPMS services provided by a previously loaded

DPMS server.



1 By executing the driver in extended memory and freeing up conventional memory, DPMS

not only allows very large drivers to load and take advantage of the available

memory, but also to leave more memory available for normal DOS drivers to load or non-extended DOS applications to execute

within the space constraints of the conventional memory area. This will also

help to increase the amount of free system resources under Windows.



1 Providing unified interfaces for the software to allocate and use memory in protected mode without having to tunnel all requests through real mode

DOS, DPMS at the same time can help to improve systemperformance

as well.


DOS Protected Mode Services - DPMS

1 DPMS was originally developed by Novell's Digital Research GmbH, Germany, in 1992. It is compatible with any DOS and can coexist with memory managers and DOS extenders such as DOS Protected Mode Interface|DPMI,

VCPI, etc. The DPMS API is Reentrancy (computing)|reentrant and compatible with

multitaskers such as the DR-DOS multitasker orDESQview. By providing a built-in DPMS

VxD-driver, it is also compatible with Windows3.x and Windows9x.



1 The DPMS[/]NOCR3 option allows debugging under Nu-Mega Technologies|Nu-

Mega'sSoftICE.



1 Even on these machines, DPMS can be forced to load only its 16-bit

services using the DPMS[/]2[86]option.



1 DPMS will allocate memory either through VCPI or Extended Memory Specification|

XMS, depending on what kind of memory is available. VCPI will typically call down to XMS as well. Newer versions of DPMS can be forced to utilize one of these interfaces

using the DPMS[/]MEM=XMS|VCPI option. In some versions, it is possible to specify the maximum amount of extended memory to

be allocated with DPMS[/]MB=nnnn.



1 DPMS registering services can be disabled or re-enabled at any time after load using the DPMS[/]OFF or

DPMS[/]ON command, however, this will only affect new drivers loaded,

not those already running and usingDPMS.



1 There are basically three revisions of the DPMS specification, DPMS beta,

DPMS 1.0 (original Novell DOS 7 shipment) and DPMS 1.1 (since March 1994 update). The 1.0

specification continued to support the beta specification as well, whereas the 1.1 (and higher)

implementation does not.



1 DR-DOS7.03 contains the latest version of DPMS1.44.



1 DPMS was also provided by IBM's PCDOS7.0 and PCDOS2000, which

came with an older version of Novell's DPMS server and a DPMS-enabled version of Stacker (disk

compression)|Stacker4.02bundled.



1 Stac Electronics also produced a DPMS-enabled stand-alone version of Stacker4.



1 Some third-party DOS driver suites such as the Eicon Diva Common ISDN Application Programming Interface|CAPI ISDN drivers or PCMCIA driver

stacks such as Award Software|Award's CardWare2.5 (or higher) are known to support DPMS as well. After

Phoenix Technologies|Phoenix' acquisition of Award, their PCMCIA drivers 6.0 (and higher) have been

sold off toUniCore.https://store.theartofservice.com/itil-2011-foundation-complete-certification-kit-fourth-edition-study-guide-ebook-and-online-course.html

DOS Protected Mode Services - CLOAKING

1 In 1993, Helix Software's memory manager Netroom3 introduced a

feature very similar to Novell's DPMS: CLOAKING was used to relocate

Helix' network drivers into extended memory. Providing its functions as an extension to the real-mode Expanded Memory|EMS and Extended Memory|

XMS interface, its protected mode services are available under INT 2Ch.



1 There was also a product named Multimedia Stacker consisting of Stac's DPMS-enabled Stacker4.01

with Helix' suite of cloaked DOSutilities.



1 In contrast to Novell's DPMS, Helix' CLOAKING can be loaded high, but it does not run on 286 machines and does not provide 16-bit services.

Also, CLOAKING2.01 has been found to be incompatible with the DR-DOS multitasker (EMM386/MULTI[=ON]

+TASKMGR).



1 If no DPMS server is present when CLOAKING.EXE loads, it will, by

default, also provide a cloaked DPMS server at a mere 100 bytes increase

of its DOS memory footprint. However, it can also coexist with a

DPMS server loaded before CLOAKING. The loading of its built-in

DPMS server can be suppressed using the CLOAKING/NODPMS

parameter. Therefore, DPMS-enabled drivers will work with both, DPMS or

CLOAKING, but not viceversa.



1 Novell's DPMS utility may not be used to temporarily disable DPMS

with a DPMS[/]OFF command if those DPMS services are provided by

CLOAKING instead of DPMS itself, because Helix' implementation will erroneously not only disallow new drivers to register with DPMS, but

completely switch off DPMS services even for already loaded drivers,

leading to a systemcrash.https://store.theartofservice.com/itil-2011-foundation-complete-certification-kit-fourth-edition-study-guide-ebook-and-online-course.html

DOS Protected Mode Services - NIOS

1 In 1993 Novell had announced plans to convert their resident workstation management utilities as well as their

DOS network driver stacks (shells, redirectors and requestors) to utilize

DPMS, however, so far only the Personal NetWare server component had actually taken advantage of it.



1 The NIOS (NetWare Input/Output System) client used techniques very

similar to DPMS or Cloaking to relocate and run the code of the

loaded NetWare Loadable Module|NLMs (NetWare Loadable Modules) in

protected mode and extended memory in order to reduce the

conventional memory footprint of the network stack downto about 2 to

5KB.https://store.theartofservice.com/itil-2011-foundation-complete-certification-kit-fourth-edition-study-guide-ebook-and-online-course.html


1 NIOS neither required nor used DPMS or Cloaking directly, and it did not provide a generic interface which

could be utilized by non-NLM modules, however, it was certainly

inspired by the DPMS technology and it can coexist with both ofthem.



1 This led to the situation that Novell never published a PNW.NLM driver to

support the Personal NetWare protocol under the newer 32-bit

ODI32/NIOS stack, so that users of Personal NetWare, who could take

advantage of the PNW server module's DPMS capabilities already, were ironically bound to continue to use the memory-consuming ODI/VLM

16-bit client with its PNW.VLM protocol driver.

VESA BIOS Extensions - Power Management Extensions (PM)

1 DPMS is a hardware standard that allows graphics cards to communicate with DPMS-compliant Computer display|monitors via a special signaling system that can be used

with existing graphics controllers and monitor cables. This signaling system allows

the graphics card to tell the monitor to go into a number of different power

management or power saving states, which effectively allow the monitor to turn itself off

when it is not in use.
