摘要： A non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM) is used in a computer system to perform multiple roles in a platform storage hierarchy. The NVRAM is byte-addressable by the processor and can be configured into one or more partitions, with each partition implementing a different tier of the platform storage hierarchy. The NVRAM can be used as mass storage that can be accessed without a storage driver.

摘要： A method and apparatus to execute a pre-boot application within an emulated pre-boot environment to test functionality of the pre-boot application. The emulated pre-boot environment is executed within a user mode of an operating system (“OS”) during an OS runtime of the processing system. The pre-boot application interacts with a hardware device of the processing system via a kernel proxy agent. The kernel proxy agent executes in a kernel mode of the OS.

摘要： Methods, systems and computer program products are disclosed for enhanced system boot processing that is faster to launch an operating system, as certain devices such as user input hardware devices may not be initialized unless it is determined that a user-interruption to the boot process is likely. That is, although an interface for the devices is exposed, no initialization occurs unless a call to the interface occurs. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

摘要： When transitioning from sleep mode to active mode, a processing system loads first stage resume content and second stage resume content into a volatile memory of the processing system. The first stage resume content may contain contextual data for a first program that was in use before the processing system transitioned to sleep mode. The second stage resume content may contain contextual data for another program that was in use before the processing system transitioned to sleep mode. The processing system may provide a user interface for the first program before all of the second stage resume content has been loaded into the volatile memory. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

摘要： During a process of transitioning a processing system from sleep mode to active mode, system firmware of the processing system may automatically determine whether an initialization task has been assigned to a component other than system firmware, based on data obtained from a resume descriptor stored in nonvolatile storage of the processing system. The system firmware may skip the initialization task if the initialization task has been assigned to a component other than the system firmware. For example, in one embodiment, the system firmware may determine whether the resume descriptor identifies one or more memory ranges. If so, the system firmware may forego initialization of at least one memory range identified in the resume descriptor when initializing a random access memory (RAM) of the processing system. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
摘要翻译：在将处理系统从睡眠模式转换到活动模式的过程中，处理系统的系统固件可以基于从存储在非易失性存储器中的恢复描述符获得的数据自动地确定初始化任务是否已被分配给系统固件以外的组件存储处理系统。如果将初始化任务分配给系统固件以外的组件，系统固件可能会跳过初始化任务。例如，在一个实施例中，系统固件可以确定恢复描述符是否识别一个或多个存储器范围。如果是这样，当初始化处理系统的随机存取存储器（RAM）时，系统固件可以放弃在恢复描述符中标识的至少一个存储器范围的初始化。描述和要求保护其他实施例。

摘要： Provided is a method, system, an program for power management of storage units in a storage array. A power profile is accessed for a storage array including a plurality of storage units, wherein each storage unit is enabled to operate in one of a plurality of power consumption modes, and wherein the power profile indicates a power mode specifying a power consumption mode. Data is migrated from at least one storage unit to at least one storage unit designated as an active storage unit consuming power in an active power consumption mode. The power consumption mode of at least one storage unit not designated as active is altered to the specified power consumption mode indicated in the accessed profile, wherein the specified power consumption mode consumes less power than the active power consumption mode.
