摘要： Provided are a method, system and program for buffering writes to an Input/Output (I/O) device in a cache. Writes to an Input/Output (I/O) device are buffered in a cache. Information on the buffered writes are communicated to a monitor component enabling identification of the buffered writes in the cache. A system failure is detected. The monitor component determines from the information on the buffered writes buffered in the cache that have not been transferred to the I/O device in response to the system failure. The monitor component causes the transfer of the determined writes to the I/O device.

摘要： A method and system to optimize ordering of firmware modules. Optimizing the dispatch order of firmware modules reduces the boot time of a computer system. A plurality of module-to-module interfaces are collected from a plurality of firmware modules, wherein a module-to-module interface allows a first firmware module of the plurality of firmware modules to invoke a second firmware module of the plurality of firmware modules. A plurality of dependency expressions corresponding to the plurality of firmware modules are collected, wherein each dependency expression of a firmware module describes the module-to-module interfaces needed for execution of the firmware module. The plurality of firmware modules are sorted into an optimized order based on the plurality of dependency expressions and the plurality of module-to-module interfaces. In one embodiment, the plurality of firmware modules operate in accordance with an Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) specification.

摘要： In some embodiments, the invention involves managing access to firmware non-volatile storage which is currently an extremely limited resource. A system and method provide a seamless means by which to enable spilling of such access to an alternate non-volatile storage target. One embodiment uses a virtualization platform to proxy NV store I/O requests via a virtual machine manager (VMM). Another embodiment uses an embedded platform to proxy I/O requests. Another embodiment uses IDS redirection in an embedded microcontroller on the platform to proxy I/O requests. Non-priority data may be stored in the alternative medium, even when space is available on the firmware memory store, based on platform policy. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

摘要： A computing platform may comprise a flash memory that may operate as a cache to the transactions targeting the hard disk. The flash memory may increase the speed of fulfilling the transactions (or reduce the latency) and may consume lesser power compared to the hard disk fulfilling the transactions. The latency and higher power consumption of the hard disk may be associated with the physically moving parts of the hard disk. A host device and a chipset may send the transactions to the flash memory if the I/O routing is enabled, which otherwise may be routed to the hard disk.

摘要： In some embodiments, the invention involves a system and method to provide maximal boot-time parallelism for future multi-core, multi-node, and many-core systems. In an embodiment, the security (SEC), pre-EFI initialization (PEI), and then driver execution environment (DXE) phases are executed in parallel on multiple compute nodes (sockets) of a platform. Once the SEC/PEI/DXE phases are executed on all compute nodes having a processor, the boot device select (BDS) phase completes the boot by merging or partitioning the compute nodes based on a platform policy. Partitioned compute nodes each run their own instance of EFI. A common memory map may be generated prior to operating system (OS) launch when compute nodes are to be merged. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
