摘要： 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.

摘要： 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.

摘要： Apparatuses, systems, and methods to monitor core performance and integrated circuit chip temperatures in order to alternatively partition cores and core resources are disclosed. Embodiments generally comprise integrated circuit processors in chips that contain multiple cores or processing elements. In many system and apparatus embodiments, a module monitors either the throughput or performance of one or more of the cores. In such embodiments, another module, a core allocation module, partitions or allocates cores in different arrangements of partitions to improve performance. Additionally, in some embodiments, a temperature monitoring module monitors one or more temperatures of the chip containing the cores, wherein the temperature measurements may affect the core allocations. In some embodiments, once an allocation for the cores is selected, the specifics of the cores to be placed in different partitions may be stored and later retrieved when triggered by events allowing for the reallocation of the cores.
