Abstract:
An approach is disclosed for performing initialization operations for a graphics processing unit (GPU). The approach includes detecting errors while performing one or more initialization operations. Further, the approach includes releasing a holdoff on a communication link that couples the GPU to a memory bridge and causing debug output to be displayed to a user that indicates the error.
