    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.

    摘要: A peer-to-peer IT (Information Technology) backbone. The system includes at least one IT server and a plurality of client computers arranged in a peer-to-peer IT backbone. Each of the client computers includes an in-band processor, an out-of-band (OOB) microcontroller, and a storage device coupled to the in-band processor and OOB microcontroller. The storage device includes a reserved area for the OOB microcontroller to enable an IT-administration to push IT payloads from the at least one IT server onto the reserved area of at least one of the plurality of client computers. The IT payloads are disseminated throughout the peer-to-peer IT backbone by the OOB microcontroller of the client computers.

    摘要: A method and system for handling a management interrupt, such as a system management interrupt (SMI) and/or a platform management interrupt (PMI), includes sequestering two or more processor cores from a plurality of processor cores to form a group of sequestered processor cores for handling the management interrupt. Generated management interrupts are directed to the group of sequestered processor cores and not to non-sequestered processor cores. At least one of the sequestered processor cores handles the management interrupt without disrupting the current operation of the non-sequestered processor cores.

    摘要: A filter driver or other control logic automatically monitors user input events and outbound network packets in a processing system. According to one embodiment, in response to detecting an outbound network packet, the filter driver automatically determines whether the outbound network packet corresponds to a recent user input event. If the outbound network packet does not correspond to at least one recent user input event, the filter driver automatically prevents the processing system from transmitting the outbound network packet. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
