    摘要: Improved reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) is provided by an extensible and flexible firmware architecture. The architecture provides management for events, where an event is a response to an imminent failure of or capacity change requirement applicable to a component of the system. In response to an event, control of a system is transferred from an operating system to the firmware manager. The manager identifies an action that is specified by the event. Based on the action, the firmware manager selects a firmware handler from a plurality of firmware handlers. The firmware manager dispatches the selected firmware handler to perform the specified action. The firmware manager and the dispatched firmware handler exchange system-independent information regarding the event. The firmware manager also manages time-slices for the performance of the specified action by the dispatched firmware handler.

    摘要: Various embodiments described herein provide one or more of systems, methods, and software/firmware that provide increased efficiency in implementing configuration changes during system quiesce time. Some embodiments may separate a quiesce data buffer into small slices wherein each slice includes configuration change data or instructions. These slices may be individually distributed by a system bootstrap processor, or other processor, to other processors or logical processors of a multi-core processor in the system. In some such embodiments, the system bootstrap processor and application processors may change system configuration in parallel while a system is in a quiesce state so as to minimize time spent in the quiesce state. Furthermore, typical system configuration change become local operations, such as local hardware register modifications, which suffer much less transaction delay than remote hardware register accesses as has been previously performed. These embodiments, and others, are described in greater detail herein.
