INT 15 - Advanced Power Management v1.0+ - CPU(Central Processing Unit) The microprocessor which executes programs on your computer. BUSY AX = 5306h Return: CF clear if successful CF set on error AH = error code (03h,0Bh) (see #00473) Notes: called to ensure that the system runs at full speed even on systems where the BIOS(Basic Input/Output System) A set of standardized calls giving low-level access to the hardware. The BIOS is the lowest software layer above the actual hardware and serves to insulate programs (and operating systems) which use it from the details of accessing the hardware directly. is unable to recognize increased activity (especially if interrupts are hooked by other programs and not chained to the BIOS(Basic Input/Output System) A set of standardized calls giving low-level access to the hardware. The BIOS is the lowest software layer above the actual hardware and serves to insulate programs (and operating systems) which use it from the details of accessing the hardware directly.) this call may be made even when the system is already running at full speed, but it will create unnecessary overhead should not be called from within a hardware interrupt handler to avoid reentrance problems SeeAlso: AX=5305h
