摘要： Compressed input/output communications may be handled without requiring any alteration of system topology. In some embodiments, when a communication is received by a device such as a network interface card, an alert may be provided to an agent that may handle compression or decompression, independently of a main operating system and a main partition. For example, compression may be handled by a sequestered partition or a virtual machine monitor, as two examples. These agents may then decide whether to compress or decompress and how to do so in some cases. As a result, the handling of compressed communications may be offloaded to a separate processor which may be dedicated to that task.

摘要： During a process of transitioning a processing system from sleep mode to active mode, system firmware of the processing system may automatically determine whether an initialization task has been assigned to a component other than system firmware, based on data obtained from a resume descriptor stored in nonvolatile storage of the processing system. The system firmware may skip the initialization task if the initialization task has been assigned to a component other than the system firmware. For example, in one embodiment, the system firmware may determine whether the resume descriptor identifies one or more memory ranges. If so, the system firmware may forego initialization of at least one memory range identified in the resume descriptor when initializing a random access memory (RAM) of the processing system. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

摘要： Firmware-based conversion methods for storing converted firmware variables in a firmware storage device, such as flash memory. Under one method, “eager” compression of firmware is performed. In response to a storage request, a determination is made to whether a compressor is available. If it is, the firmware variable is stored in a compressed form in the storage device; if not, the firmware variable is stored in an uncompressed form. In response to a read request for a stored firmware variable, a determination is made to whether the variable is stored in a compressed or uncompressed form. If it is compressed, a decompressor is employed to return the variable to its uncompressed form prior to providing it to the requestor; already uncompressed variables are provided directly to the requester. An application program interface is provided to enable operating system runtime access to the firmware variables. Similar conversions may be employed separately or in parallel, including encryption.

摘要： In some embodiments, the invention involves extending trusted computing environments to the boot firmware. In at least one embodiment, the present invention is intended to enable the trusted environment to be extended forward to the pre-boot environment in addition to post-OS load environment. Embodiments of the present invention enable the trusted environment to extend to the firmware at power-on. The firmware is integrated within the secure perimeter which was previously only available to the OS. In other words, the BIOS is made to be a trusted entity, as well as the OS. Extensible firmware interface (EFI) modules are signed with a public key. The processor has an embedded private key. EFI modules are verified using the keys to ensure a trusted environment from boot to OS launch. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
