Idle

Idle

Idle refers to a state of a system or component that is fully functional but not currently in use. It can also refer to the situation where one or more processes are waiting for results from other processes, known as idle time. To measure idle time, performance monitoring events can be used, such as those collected by the performance monitoring unit of a processor.From: Dictionary of Computer Science, Engineering, and Technology [2017], Practical Graph Mining with R [2019], Handbook of Real-Time and Embedded Systems [2019]

Enable Energy Star features on your computer. Many computers are idle for long periods of time and sleep modes can save large amounts of energy. In 2003, Energy Star estimated that 45% of the computer monitors in the United States do not take advantage of built-in sleep features, costing businesses and organizations at least $225 million a year in wasted electricity.

By incorporating the preprocessing algorithm, which is independent of the message being signed and employs modular exponentiation, the proposed scheme offers significant advantages in terms of computational efficiency and signature generation optimization. These optimizations reduce the computational burden and allow the system to utilize idle computer time effectively. Moreover, the scheme ensures the security and integrity of the generated signatures by employing a large number and random exponent in the modular exponentiation operation.
