    摘要: A method and system for recovery of a computing environment includes monitoring during a pre-boot phase and a runtime phase of a computing device for selection of a hot key sequence by a user and performing a recovery action in response to the selection of the hot key sequence by the user. The recovery action may be any one of a number of predetermined and/or selectable actions such as restoring system defaults, migrating memory, displaying a menu of options, setting various software flags, restarting or rebooting the computing device, and/or the like.

    摘要: A plurality of platforms may be defined in a distributed system. Each of the platforms may include a processor and a chipset from a common source on a single motherboard. Extensible firmware interface drivers are provided for the processors and the chipsets. Each of the platforms may be defined pursuant to a system definition model where the system definition model defines the firmware for each of the platforms. As a result, any of the platforms can be updateable from a common source, such as an Internet web site.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for providing platform initialization enhancements is discussed herein. In one embodiment, buses, activities, devices, and/or nodes to be processed during boot, are processed in a non-blocking fashion, which potentially results in faster boot times. Moreover, some devices/nodes, such as root nodes, may be boot in an early phase of initialization to enhance both available resources and initialization times. Furthermore, early connects in an early phase of initialization may be performed to construct partial or entire device paths, which also potentially results in faster boot times.

    摘要: Provided is a method, program and system to update files in a computer system. A patch is received for an installed program in a computer and message from a server over a network. Program files for the installed program are updated with contents of the patch. A determination is made as to whether the message indicates to automatically reboot the computer. Information is generated to a user indicating that the computer will be automatically rebooted. Operations are initiated in the computer to reboot the computer after a delay period to provide the user opportunity to close files and applications before the reboot.

    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.
