摘要： Methods and apparatus to facilitate fast restarts in processor systems are disclosed. An example processor restart method disclosed herein includes recording a log of pre-boot initialization actions, and replaying a portion of the log during subsequent processor restarts to shorten pre-boot initialization time. The example processor restart method disclosed herein may further include creating a log index table for easier referral to portions of the log, storing the log and the log index table in non-volatile memory, using the log index table to reorder the replaying of the log, and reordering the replay of the log to initialize the video graphics adapter earlier in a processor restart sequence.

摘要： Buyer-driven methods of purchasing a motor vehicle include one or more buyers, each buyer composing a buyer-specific offer to purchase a motor vehicle and optionally motor vehicle-related services. Each offer is based on an individual buyer willing price that is based on an individual buyer perceived value of the motor vehicle and related services, and one or more buyer-specific conditions imposed on purchasing a motor vehicle within the set of motor vehicles. Buyers register with, and communicating their respective buyer-specific offer to, a website hosted by a computer server, the website accessible by network-connected devices of the buyers. One or more website-registered sellers communicate their respective seller conditions to the website, and software in a system server filters the buyer-specific offers. The sellers may accept, decline, or make alternative responses to the website, which ranks the seller response for buyers.

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： 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, apparatus and system enable a virtual and a non-virtual component to be bundled together in a single binary. According to an embodiment of the present invention, an operating system may boot directly on host hardware or on a virtual machine manager. If the operating system boots directly on host hardware, the binary is capable of executing the non-virtual (“physical”) component code in the binary. If, on the other hand, the operating system boots onto a virtual machine manager, the binary is further capable of executing the virtual component code in the binary. In one embodiment, the virtual component may be para-virtualized, i.e., the component may be aware that it is running in a virtual environment.

摘要： Provided are a method, system and program for effecting a processor operating mode change to execute device code. A processor receives a call while the processor is operating in a first mode, wherein the call is made to effect execution of device code to control a device. The processor determines whether the call is intended to change a processor operating mode from the first mode to a second mode. The state of the processor is selectively changed to a second mode in which the processor executes second mode instructions loaded in a protected section of memory inaccessible to an operating system in response to determining that the call is intended to change the processor operating mode. The second mode instructions execute the device code to control the device.

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： In some embodiments, the invention involves saving limited context information when transitioning between virtual machines. A predetermined set of instructions and events cause a trap. A bit or flag is set to indicate that the event has occurred within a virtual machine. The virtual machine monitor determines whether specific register sets must be saved or restored upon a context switch, based on whether the flag has been set. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
