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： A data processing system features a processor, random access memory (RAM), flash memory, a disk drive, an operating system (OS), and platform software. The platform software is capable of intercepting an attempt by the OS to read a storage location of the disk drive during a process of transitioning the data processing system from an inactive mode to an active mode. In response to intercepting the attempt by the OS to read the disk drive, the platform software may automatically determine whether the storage location for the read corresponds to a disk area reserved for power state transition data. If the storage location corresponds to the area reserved for power state transition data, the platform software may automatically read data from the flash memory instead of the disk drive, and pass that data to the OS. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

摘要： A method and system to utilize platform-based optimization routines by a computer system. An application executing on the computer system initializes a user library bound to the application. The user library requests that an optimized library be copied into the user space of the computer system. The optimized library includes functions optimized for the hardware configuration of the computer system and is advertised by the firmware of the computer system. The entry points of the optimized functions are exported to the application, the optimized functions corresponding to non-optimized functions of the application. In one embodiment, the optimized library is validated before being copied into user space.

摘要： Firmware-based conversion methods for storing converted firmware variables in a firmware storage device, such as flash memory. Under one method, “eager” compression of firmware is performed. In response to a storage request, a determination is made to whether a compressor is available. If it is, the firmware variable is stored in a compressed form in the storage device; if not, the firmware variable is stored in an uncompressed form. In response to a read request for a stored firmware variable, a determination is made to whether the variable is stored in a compressed or uncompressed form. If it is compressed, a decompressor is employed to return the variable to its uncompressed form prior to providing it to the requestor; already uncompressed variables are provided directly to the requester. An application program interface is provided to enable operating system runtime access to the firmware variables. Similar conversions may be employed separately or in parallel, including encryption.

摘要： A method and system for content pre-fetching during a processing system pre-boot runtime. First, it is determined when a processor of a processing system is in one of a busy wait state and an idle state during a pre-boot runtime of the processing system. Then, content is pre-fetched from a data storage unit of the processing system. The content is pre-fetched based upon a pre-fetch profile. The content is loaded into system memory of the processing system.

摘要： A method for restarting a processor-based system is disclosed. The basic input/output system (BIOS) firmware for performing the restart may or may not reside on the processor-based system. Where the local BIOS firmware is corrupt or not present, remote BIOS firmware is loaded into the processor cache by a specialized network interface card. The network interface card includes direct cache access (DCA) functionality, enabling it to store packets retrieved from the network directly into the processor cache, for faster processing. Remote downloading of the BIOS firmware from the network solves on-platform flash corruption within the processor-based system without costly board rework. Other benefits include mitigating the misappropriation of BIOS and chipset intellectual property, improved restart performance of the processor-based system, as well as improvement in chipset validation. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

摘要： Secure variable/image storage and access schemes for storing data in non-volatile stores. Firmware-based interfaces are provided to support secure storage of data, such as asset management data and executable images, on platforms in a manner that prevents access to any entity other than the principle that originally stored the data. In one embodiment, an extension to the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) variable storage scheme is disclosed. In another embodiment, a management chip that is not present on the platform is emulated by firmware such that the management chip appears to be present to entities accessing a third-party storage area of a non-volatile store.
