摘要:
Technologies for providing resource health based node composition and management include a compute device having circuitry configured to receive status data from each of multiple resources in a system. The status data is indicative of an ability of the corresponding resource to be utilized in the execution of a workload. The circuitry is also configured to determine, as a function of the received status data, a responsive action to be performed to manage execution of the workload. Further, the circuitry is configured to perform the responsive action to manage execution of the workload.

In some embodiments system reconfiguration code and data to be used to perform a dynamic hardware reconfiguration of a system including a plurality of processor cores is cached and any direct or indirect memory accesses during the dynamic hardware reconfiguration are prevented. One of the processor cores executes the cached system reconfiguration code and data in order to dynamically reconfigure the hardware. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

An interface is provided to update a firmware of a persistent memory module at runtime without restarting an operating system on the platform. The operating system initiates the firmware update by triggering a sleep state or by entering a soft reboot. The interface is capable of preserving the state of the platform for all memory modes that support volatile memory regions, persistent memory regions, or both, and reducing or eliminating the demand for access to memory during the firmware update. The persistent memory module is capable of updating the firmware responsive to a platform instruction generated using the interface, including preserving operational states for memory devices in all memory regions, including memory devices in volatile and persistent memory regions.
摘要:
Examples may include a basic input/output system (BIOS) for a computing platform communicating with a controller for a non-volatile dual in-line memory module (NVDIMM). Communication between the BIOS and the controller may include a request for the controller to scan and identify error locations in non-volatile memory at the NVDIMM. The non-volatile memory may be capable of providing persistent memory for the NVDIMM.
摘要:
Methods and apparatus to accelerate boot time zeroing of memory based on Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) technology are described. In an embodiment, a storage device stores a boot version number corresponding to a portion of a non-volatile memory. A memory controller logic causes an update of the stored boot version number in response to each subsequent boot event. The memory controller logic returns a zero in response to a read operation directed at the portion of the non-volatile memory and a mismatch between the stored boot version number and a current boot version number. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.

摘要:
A system enables memory device specific self-refresh entry and exit commands. When memory devices on a shared control bus (such as all memory devices in a rank) are in self-refresh, a memory controller can issue a device specific command with a self-refresh exit command and a unique memory device identifier to the memory device. The controller sends the command over the shared control bus, and only the selected, identified memory device will exit self-refresh while the other devices will ignore the command and remain in self-refresh. The controller can then execute data access over a shared data bus with the specific memory device while the other memory devices are in self-refresh.
