    摘要: In accordance with certain embodiments of the present disclosure, an information handling system is provided. The information handling system may include a plurality of processors, each processor comprising multiple cores, a memory system coupled to the plurality of processors, and a controller coupled to the plurality of processors. The controller may be configured to: receive a local system management interrupt (SMI) signal regarding an error associated with at least one of the multiple cores, determine that the received local SMI signal triggers a global SMI based on a global SMI trigger rule, cause the plurality of processors to enter a global system management mode (SMM), and log the error in a shared resource shared by the plurality of processors during the global SMM.

    摘要: A system and method is disclosed in which, during the execution of an interrupt handling sequence in one of the processor of a multiprocessor system, a processors write a reason code to a status register to identify the cause of the interrupt. The BIOS code of the system writes to an interrupt initiation register to cause each of the processors to enter an interrupt handling sequence. Each of the processors of the system handling the interrupt on the basis of the content of the status register, resulting in each of the processors synchronously handling an interrupt for an event that would otherwise result in a local interrupt.

    摘要: A system and method is disclosed for managing system management interrupts in a multiprocessor system. The system described herein includes multiple processors, each of which may be directly coupled to memory. A primary processor will recognize the initiation of a system management interrupt. The primary processor will write a reason code to a storage location and set a watchdog timer, the expiration of which causes all of the processors of the system to enter a system management mode. After all of the processors have entered system management mode, it is determined if the reason code of the storage location corresponds to certain software-based system management interrupts. If so, the system management interrupt is handled by the local processors. Following the handling of the system management interrupt by the local processor, a signal is sent to each of the other processors to cause the processors to exit system management mode.

    摘要: A system and method of accessing memory within an information handling system are disclosed. In one form, a method of accessing memory can include detecting a first operating value of a first memory access node accessible to a first processor, and initiating operation of the first memory access node to a first data rate value. The method can also include initiating operation of a second memory access node to a second data rate value. In one form, the second data rate value can be different from the first data rate value. The method can also include enabling a first application access to either the first memory access node or the second memory access node via an operating system enabled by the processor.
