Embodiments of apparatuses, methods, and systems for partitioning memory mapped device configuration space are disclosed. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a configuration space address storage location, an access map storage location, and addressing logic. The configuration space address storage location is to store a pointer to a memory region to which transactions to configure devices in a partition of a partitioned system are addressed. The access map storage location is to store an access map or a pointer to an access map. The addressing logic is to use the access map to determine whether a configuration transaction from a processor to one of the devices is to be allowed.

Embodiments of apparatuses, methods for partitioning systems, and partitionable and partitioned systems are disclosed. In one embodiment, a system includes processors and a partition manager. The partition manager is to allocate a subset of the processors to a first partition and another subset of the processors to a second partition. The first partition is to execute first operating system level software and the second partition is to execute second operating system level software. The first operating system level software is to manage the processors in the first partition as resources individually accessible to the first operating system level software, and the second operating system level software is to manage the processors in the second partition as resources individually accessible to the second operating system level software. The partition manager is also to present the second partition, including the second operating system level software, to the first operating system level software as platform level functionality embedded in the system.

In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method for allocating at least one dedicated core and at least one shareable core to a first partition of a system, where the cores are owned by the first partition. During operation, the shareable core(s) may be made dynamically available for use in one or more other partitions of the system, while the first partition retains ownership of the shared core(s). Other embodiments are described and claimed.

A method includes establishing two partitions, including a first partition and a second partition, in a computer system. The method further includes designating a first memory page in memory space controlled by the first partition, designating a second memory page in memory space controlled by the second partition, storing an address of the first memory page in an address mapping array that is accessible by the first partition and storing an address of the second memory page in an address mapping array that is accessible by the second partition. In addition, the method includes exchanging the address of the first memory page in the address mapping array that is accessible by the first partition with the address of the second memory page in the address mapping array that is accessible by the second partition.

A method of and apparatus for communicating data using a hub. The method includes determining a first estimated unused capacity left in a first frame in which a second transaction is to be performed between a hub and an agent. The method then includes determining an amount of a first data that can fit into the estimated unused capacity and that is to be sent to the hub during a first transaction and then sent by the hub to the agent during the second transaction. The method also includes sending the first data to the hub during the first transaction.

A system and method for serial bus budget development and maintenance. The present invention relates to a method for budgeting transactions under a Universal Serial Bus (USB) protocol, utilizing split transactions, such as USB 2.0. The present invention provides for budgeting transactions occurring across a high-speed to full/low-speed translation, accommodating the full/low speed transactions as well as high-speed splits and data overhead in accordance with USB protocol.
