    摘要: Using radio frequency identification (RFID) tags embedded in processors within a computing system to assist in system initialization processing. The RFID tags provide a separate communication path to other components of the computing system during initialization processing, apart from the system interconnect. When the computing system is powered up, each processor in the system may cause its RFID tag to broadcast data regarding the processor's interconnect location and initialization status. The RFID tags may be sensed by a RFID receiver in the Platform Control Hub (PCH) of the computing system, and each processor's interconnect location and initialization status data may be stored in selected registers within the PCH. When the BIOS executes during system initialization processing, the BIOS may access these PCH registers to obtain the processor's data. The interconnect location and initialization status data may be used by the BIOS to select the optimal routing table and to configure the virtual network within the computing system based at least in part on the optimal routing table and the RFID tag data and without the need for interrogating each processor individually over the system interconnect.

    摘要: In a computing system having a processor package, an operating system, and a physical I/O device, a partial virtual machine is provided to instantiate a virtual I/O device corresponding to the physical I/O device, the virtual I/O device having a virtual I/O controller. The partial virtual machine includes an I/O port trap to capture an I/O request to the virtual I/O device by the operating system; an I/O controller emulator coupled to the I/O port trap to handle an I/O control request to the virtual I/O controller, when the I/O request comprises an I/O control request; an I/O device emulator coupled to the I/O port trap component to handle an I/O access request to communicate with the virtual I/O device, when the I/O request comprises an I/O access request; and a device driver coupled to the I/O controller emulator and the I/O device emulator to communicate with the physical I/O device based at least in part on the I/O control request and the I/O access request. The partial virtual machine executes within a secure enclave session within the processor package, improving security of I/O transactions by preventing access to the partial virtual machine by the operating system.

    摘要: Embodiments of the invention involve decreasing boot time by utilizing virtualization or partitioning techniques. In an embodiment, a hypervisor/platform partition controls the platform access to the boot target medium. Boot target data is selectively stored in a fast memory. When the system reboots, or an operating system on the platform is reset, boot target information may be retrieved from the fast memory rather than the original, slower boot target medium. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
