    摘要: In an embodiment, a power management controller is to receive thread information from a scheduler, where the thread information includes thread priority information for a thread scheduled to a core of a multicore processor. The power management controller is further to receive power consumption information from a power controller and to determine a power management action to be taken by the power controller on at least one core based at least in part on the thread priority information. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    摘要: An apparatus and method are described for performing partial memory mirroring operations. For example, one embodiment of a processor comprises: a processor core for generating a read or write transaction having a system memory address; a home agent identified to service the read or write transaction based on the system memory address; one or more target address decoders (TADs) associated with the home agent to determine whether the system memory address is within a mirrored memory region or a non-mirrored memory region, wherein: if the system memory address is within a mirrored memory region, then the one or more TADs identifying multiple mirrored memory channels for the read or write transaction; and if the system memory address is not within a mirrored memory region, then the one or more TADs identifying a single memory channel for the read or write transaction.

    摘要: An embodiment includes a secure and stable method for sending information across a compute continuum. For example, the method may include executing an application (e.g., video player) on a first node (e.g., tablet) with a desire to perform “context migration” to a second node (e.g., desktop). This may allow a user to watch a movie on the tablet, stop watching the movie, and then resume watching the movie from the desktop. To do so in a secure and stable manner, the first node may request security and performance credentials from the second node. If both credential sets satisfy thresholds, the first node may transfer content (e.g., encrypted copy of a movie) and state information (e.g., placeholder indicating where the movie was when context transfer began). The second node may then allow the user to resume his or her movie watching from the desktop. Other embodiments are described herein.

    摘要: Techniques and mechanisms for providing access to a storage device of a computer platform. In an embodiment, an agent executing on the platform may be registered for access to the storage device, the agent being allocated a memory space by a host operating system of the platform. Registration of the agent may result in a location in the allocated memory space being mapped to a location in the storage device. In another embodiment, the agent may write to the location in the allocated memory space to request access to the storage device, wherein the request is independent of any system call to the host OS which describes the requested access.

    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.
