摘要： A method and apparatus is described herein for managing bad blocks/sectors in a nonvolatile memory. Upon detecting an input/output fault to a target block in a nonvolatile memory, the target block is remapped to a spare block, if the block is predicted as a bad block. Remapping is done for blocks used to store code both in serial execution code sequences and code sequences utilizing address translation. The remapping of bad blocks/sectors in nonvolatile memory allows nonvolatile memory in computer systems to be robust and resilient in handling bad blocks.
摘要翻译：这里描述了一种用于管理非易失性存储器中的坏块/扇区的方法和装置。在非易失性存储器中检测到目标块的输入/输出故障时，如果块被预测为坏块，则将目标块重新映射到备用块。用于在串行执行代码序列和使用地址转换的代码序列中存储代码的块进行重映射。在非易失性存储器中重新映射坏块/扇区允许计算机系统中的非易失性存储器在处理坏块时具有鲁棒性和弹性。

摘要： Methods, apparatus, and systems for updating firmware for clustered computing platforms. Firmware provided on each platform is loaded for operating system runtime availability. The firmware update process begins by issuing an update directive that includes firmware update data to a first platform. That platform then interacts with firmware running on other platforms to update the firmware for those platforms, wherein communications between the platforms is enabled via an out-of-band (OOB) communication channel or network. In one embodiment, OOB communications are facilitated by a hidden execution mode known as the System Management Mode (SMM), which has the ability to receive and respond to periodic System Management Interrupts (SMI) and execute corresponding SMI handlers configured to support inter-platform communication in a manner that is transparent to operating systems running on the platforms. The method allows firmware to be updated across multiple platforms, such as server blades, using a single administrative action.
摘要翻译：用于更新集群计算平台固件的方法，装置和系统。加载每个平台上提供的固件可用于操作系统运行时可用性。固件更新过程开始于向第一平台发布包含固件更新数据的更新指令。然后该平台与在其他平台上运行的固件进行交互，以更新这些平台的固件，其中通过带外（OOB）通信信道或网络启用平台之间的通信。在一个实施例中，通过被称为系统管理模式（SMM）的隐藏执行模式来促进OOB通信，所述系统管理模式（SMM）具有接收和响应周期性系统管理中断（SMI）并且执行配置为支持平台间的对应SMI处理程序以对平台上运行的操作系统透明的方式进行通信。该方法允许使用单一管理操作在多个平台（如服务器刀片）上更新固件。
