    摘要: A bootloader process executing on a service management processor (SMP) subsystem for a server device determines whether an initialization flag stored within non-volatile memory of the subsystem is set. The initialization flag corresponds to whether a full cold initialization process of the subsystem is to occur. In response to determining that the initialization flag has not been set, the bootloader process loads an image stored in the non-volatile memory into volatile memory of the subsystem. The image corresponds to processes properly running on the SMP subsystem after the SMP subsystem has booted, including a management process. The processes begin executing on the subsystem. The management process, determines whether a hardware configuration change within the subsystem has been made since when the image was saved to the non-volatile memory. In response to determining that the hardware configuration change has been made, the management process sets the initialization flag and rebooting the subsystem.

    摘要: In some embodiments, a method for auto-partitioning a scalable processing system is disclosed. The method can include establishing connection data, identifying a primary node and automatically transmitting partitioning commands to other nodes to configure them as secondary nodes. The partitioning commands can adjust the basic input output settings of the secondary nodes such that the system can boot as a single partitioned system. Other embodiments are also disclosed.

    摘要: A computing device includes a processor, firmware, a hardware component, and a debugging module. The firmware stores error decoding logic particular to the computing device. The hardware component detects an error in the computing device, and responsively issues an interrupt and halts the processor such that the processor cannot execute any more computer-readable code. The debugging module loads the logic from the firmware at reset and executes the logic responsive to the interrupt. The debugging module does not use the processor to execute the logic, the firmware is not part of the debugging module, and the debugging module is not part of the hardware component. The firmware may also store a mapping between registers of the hardware component and field-replaceable hardware units of the computing device, which the debugging module loads at reset and uses when executing the error decoding logic to determine which unit has caused the error.

    摘要: A functional commemorative timepiece to memorialize an event such as a birth, marriage or the like has a first and second set of pointers. The first set of pointers are under a crystal and move across a dial for indicating the current time of day. The second set of pointers are stationary and are attached to the crystal for indicating the hour and minute at which the event to be memorialized occurred. There is a bezel around the crystal with a legend indicating the event being memorialized and a festoon may be provided with markings correlated with the legend.
