Abstract: A cache-as-RAM (CAR) system of a multi-processor system that includes a plurality of processors may be initialized. The CAR system may assign a physical data address range for each of the plurality of processors such that the physical data address ranges allocated to all of the plurality of processors overlap with each other. A boot code stream may be executed with the CAR appearing to the executing boot stream as a memory store for executing the boot code stream. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: A network interface card with read-only memory having at least a micro-kernel of a cluster computing operation system, a server formed with such network interface card, and a computing cluster formed with such servers are disclosed herein. In various embodiments, on transfer, after an initial initialization phase during an initialization of a server, the network interface card loads the cluster computing operation system into system memory of the server, to enable the server, in conjunction with other similarly provisioned servers to form a computing cluster. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.

Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments, a single trusted platform module per platform may be used to handle conventional trusted platform tasks as well as those that would arise prior to the existence of a primary trusted platform module in conventional systems. Thus one single trusted platform module may handle measurements of all aspects of the platform including the baseboard management controller. In some embodiments, a management engine image is validated using a read only memory embedded in a chipset such as a platform controller hub, as the root of trust. Before the baseboard management controller (BMC) is allowed to boot, it must validate the integrity of its flash memory. But the BMC image may be stored in a memory coupled to a platform controller hub (PCH) in a way that it can be validated by the PCH.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for improving the resume time of a platform. In one embodiment of the invention, the context of the platform is saved prior to entering an inactive state of the platform. When the platform is switched back to an active state, it reads the saved context and restores the platform to its original state prior to entering the inactive state. In one embodiment of the invention, the platform determines whether it should compress the saved context before storing it in a non-volatile memory based on the operating condition of the platform. This allows the platform to select the optimum method to allow faster resume time of the platform.

Abstract translation: 一种用于提高平台恢复时间的方法和装置。 在本发明的一个实施例中，平台的上下文在进入平台的不活动状态之前被保存。 当平台切换回活动状态时，它读取保存的上下文，并在进入非活动状态之前将平台恢复到原始状态。 在本发明的一个实施例中，平台基于平台的操作条件来确定在将保存的上下文存储在非易失性存储器中之前是否应该压缩保存的上下文。 这允许平台选择最佳方法以允许更快的平台恢复时间。

Abstract: A method and system for migrating a computer environment, such as a virtual machine, from a first blade server to a second blade server includes storing data generated by the first and second blade servers on a shared hard drive and transferring a logic unit number from the first blade server to the second blade server. The logic unit number identifies a location of the shared hard drive used by the first blade server to store data. Additionally, the state of the central processing unit of the first blade server may be transferred to the second blade server.
