摘要： Using radio frequency identification (RFID) tags embedded in processors within a computing system to assist in system initialization processing. The RFID tags provide a separate communication path to other components of the computing system during initialization processing, apart from the system interconnect. When the computing system is powered up, each processor in the system may cause its RFID tag to broadcast data regarding the processor's interconnect location and initialization status. The RFID tags may be sensed by a RFID receiver in the Platform Control Hub (PCH) of the computing system, and each processor's interconnect location and initialization status data may be stored in selected registers within the PCH. When the BIOS executes during system initialization processing, the BIOS may access these PCH registers to obtain the processor's data. The interconnect location and initialization status data may be used by the BIOS to select the optimal routing table and to configure the virtual network within the computing system based at least in part on the optimal routing table and the RFID tag data and without the need for interrogating each processor individually over the system interconnect.

摘要： In some embodiments, the invention involves speeding boot up of a platform by initializing the video card early on in the boot process. In an embodiment, processor cache memory is to be used as cache as RAM (CAR). Video graphics adapter (VGA) card initialization uses the CAR instead of system RAM to perform initialization. A portion of the firmware code, interrupt vector tables and handlers are mirrored in the CAR, from flash memory to mimic the behavior of system RAM during the video initialization. VGA initialization may occur before system RAM has initialized to enable early visual feedback to a user. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

摘要： Reducing memory fragmentation. Memory is allocated during a preboot phase of a computer system, wherein the memory is allocated based on a plurality of memory types. Fragmentation of memory is determined, wherein a fragment includes a contiguous block of memory of the same type. At least a portion of memory allocated to a firmware module is coalesced based on the plurality of memory types if the fragmentation is greater than a threshold. An operating system is booted by the computer system.

摘要： A system and method to resume execution of a client system from a saved system state without executing a boot-up process. A data storage unit and the client system having volatile system memory are coupled to a network. Data stored on the data storage unit is received via the network and loaded into the volatile system memory of the client system. The data contains information for the client system to resume execution from the saved system state without executing a boot-up process after a power-off state. The client system is then capable of resuming operation from the saved system state.

摘要： A software-defined radio (SDR) capability may be provided in a general purpose, many core processing system by sequestering one or more partitions running on one or more cores and instantiating a communications capability by having discrete SDR functions performed by the sequestered partitions. Each SDR module embodied in a sequestered partition may be independently upgraded without modifying the hardware of the underlying processing system. By executing SDR modules in cores not accessible by application programs and/or an operating system (OS), a better Quality of Service (QoS) may be provided for wireless communications on the general purpose, multi-core processing system. An embodiment comprises isolating a core of a many core processing system as a sequestered partition, loading a software-defined radio module onto the core, and executing the software-defined module to implement wireless communications.
摘要翻译：可以在通用目的的许多核心处理系统中通过隔离在一个或多个核上运行的一个或多个分区并通过具有由隔离分区执行的离散SDR功能来实例化通信能力来提供软件定义无线电（SDR）能力。实施在隔离分区中的每个SDR模块可以独立升级，而无需修改底层处理系统的硬件。通过在应用程序和/或操作系统（OS）不可访问的核心中执行SDR模块，可以为通用多核处理系统上的无线通信提供更好的服务质量（QoS）。一个实施例包括将许多核心处理系统的核心隔离为隔离分区，将软件定义的无线电模块加载到核心上，以及执行软件定义模块以实现无线通信。

摘要： Methods and apparatus dynamically reconfigure storage or channel capacities in a memory system. A fully-buffered dual in-line memory module (DIMM) is configured for a particular storage capacity and a particular channel capacity. An error may be detected at a memory address in some portion of the DIMM. To resolve the problem, the storage capacity or the channel capacity may be reduced and the DIMM may be dynamically reconfigured according to the reduced capacity. For one embodiment the DIMM may be reconfigured by mapping the portion of the DIMM containing the error as unavailable and taking that portion off-line without taking the entire DIMM off-line. For another embodiment the DIMM may be reconfigured by throttling the DIMM at a reduced frequency. The portion of the DIMM containing the error may be retested at the reduced frequency. If no errors are detected, the DIMM may be made available at the reduced frequency.
摘要翻译：方法和装置动态地重新配置存储器系统中的存储或信道容量。全缓冲双列直插式内存模块（DIMM）配置为特定存储容量和特定通道容量。在DIMM的某些部分的存储器地址可能会检测到错误。为了解决这个问题，可以减少存储容量或信道容量，并且可以根据容量的降低来动态地重新配置DIMM。对于一个实施例，可以通过将包含错误的DIMM的部分映射为不可用并且将该部分离线地取出而不使整个DIMM离线地将DIMM重新配置。对于另一个实施例，可以通过以降低的频率来调节DIMM来重新配置DIMM。包含错误的DIMM部分可能会以降低的频率进行重新测试。如果没有检测到错误，则可以以降低的频率使DIMM可用。

摘要： A method and system to switch between a Service virtual machine (VM) and a Guest VM in a virtual machine monitor (VMM) of a computer system. The VMM is loaded on the computer system to support a Service VM and a Guest VM. The Service OS is booted in the Service VM during the pre-boot phase. The Guest OS is booted in the Guest VM of the computer system. During OS runtime of the Guest OS, a VM switch is performed from the Guest VM to the Service VM without rebooting the computer system. The Service OS includes diagnostic tools to analyze the Guest OS. In one embodiment, the VM switch is performed by firmware of the computer system. In another embodiment, the VMM operates in accordance with an Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) framework standard.
