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 fault resilient booting of a multi-processor system. The apparatus attempts a cold reset of the system, during which each processor performs a built-in self test. The apparatus selects a boot strap processor to perform a warm reset, during which any failed processors are tristated using a flush command. If no boot strap processor is available, the apparatus performs the warm reset and tristates any failed processor including the processor predesignated to be the boot strap processor, and then repeats the attempt to establish the boot strap processor.

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.
