摘要： Embodiments of the present invention are directed to enhancing VPAR monitors to allow an active VPAR to be moved from one machine to another, as well as to enhancing virtual-machine monitors to move active VPARs from one machine to another. Because traditional VPAR monitors lack access to many computational resources and to executing-operating-system state, VPAR movement is carried out primarily by specialized routines executing within active VPARs, unlike the movement of guest operating systems between machines carried out by virtual-machine-monitor routines.

摘要： A device and method for recovery from address errors is described. When an address error is detected on a local channel, such as a local bus, the coherency states of one or more lines of cache memory associated with the local channel are read, and actions are taken in response. Reading of coherency states ranges from a complete and active interrogation of all cache lines, to a selective and passive interrogation, such as in responding to snoop requests. If the data state consistency is unknown, such as when the MESI state is Modified (M) or Exclusive (E), then the corresponding data in main memory is poisoned. Poisoning may be accomplished by writing a detectable but unrecoverable error pattern in the main memory. Alternatively, the same effect may be accomplished by signaling a hard error on the system bus. If the data state consistency of an interrogated cache line is Shared (S) or Invalid (I), the line may be ignored or the line marked invalid. If the state of the cached line is valid and consistent, such as the “Modified uncached” (Mu) state in a MuMESI protocol, then the line may be written to main memory or provided to a snoop requester.
摘要翻译：描述用于从地址错误中恢复的设备和方法。当在本地信道（例如本地总线）上检测到地址错误时，读取与本地信道相关联的一行或多行高速缓冲存储器的一致性状态，并作出响应。相关性状态的读取范围从所有高速缓存行的完整和主动询问，到选择性和被动询问，例如响应窥探请求。如果数据状态一致性未知，例如当MESI状态为M（M）或Exclusive（E）时，则主存储器中的相应数据中毒。中毒可以通过在主存储器中写入可检测但不可恢复的错误模式来实现。或者，通过在系统总线上发出硬错误来实现相同的效果。如果询问的高速缓存行的数据状态一致性为Shared（S）或Invalid（I），则该行可能会被忽略或标记为无效的行。如果缓存行的状态是有效且一致的，例如MuMESI协议中的“Modified uncached”（Mu）状态，则该行可以写入主存储器或提供给窥探请求者。

摘要： A method and system for handling interrupts within a computer system during hardware resource migration are disclosed. In at least some embodiments, the method includes (a) programming an address conversion component so that incoming interrupt signals are directed to a control component rather than to a source processing resource, and (b) accumulating the incoming interrupt signals at the control component. Additionally the method also includes, subsequent to the migration of the partition from the source processing resource to a destination processing resource, (c) sending the accumulated incoming interrupt signals to the destination processing resource, and (d) reprogramming the address conversion component so that further incoming interrupt signals are directed to the destination processing resource.

摘要： Techniques are provided for allocating a plurality of resources on a chip to a plurality of partitions in a partitionable computer system. In one embodiment, a resource allocated to a first partition generates a physical address in an address space allocated to the first partition. A partition identification value identifies the first partition. The first partition identification value is stored in the first physical address to produce a partition-identifying address, which may be transmitted to a system fabric. In another embodiment, a transaction is received which includes a source terminus identifier identifying a source device which transmitted the transaction. It is determined, based on the source terminus identifier, whether the source device is allocated to the same partition as any of the plurality of resources. If the source device is so allocated, the transaction is transmitted to a resource that is allocated to the same partition as the source device.

摘要： A system and method updating firmware of cells in cellular, high availability, computing systems. One or more cells having missing, obsolete, corrupt, or otherwise errored firmware when compared to other cells in the partition are identified as mismatched cells. An update cell having desired firmware transmits an update message to each mismatched cell via a manageability system slow speed interconnect. In response to the update message, each mismatched cell enables a high speed interconnect over which they can receive the desired firmware. The update cell transmits the update firmware to each mismatched cell via the high speed interconnect.

摘要： An apparatus and method for distributing interrupts to Intel® Architecture (IA)-32 processors includes a system bus having a number of nodes. Each node includes a bridge that couples the system bus to a processor bus. The processor bus may include multiple IA-32 processors. The system bus may include any number of nodes. Interrupt transactions appearing on the system bus are converted by the bridge to interrupt signals. The bridge asserts the interrupt signals at one of two pins on a target IA-32 processor. One pin may be programmed to receive non-maskable interrupts and the other pin may be programmed to receive external interrupts. The bridge incorporates a priority and threshold mechanism. The bridge includes a buffer to store pending interrupt signals. The apparatus and method may be used in a mixed IA-32 and IA-64 computer architecture that uses IA-64 components to receive interrupts and uses the bridge to convert the transactions on an IA-64 bus into interrupt signal assertions to an IA-32 processor.
