    摘要: A baseboard management controller (BMC) installed in a server or other hardware device may perform operations to monitor and safeguard metering data for one or more hardware component of a server that includes the BMC. The BMC may periodically transmit a metering data message over a network to an event destination, where the metering data message includes the utilization levels of the hardware component during a period of operation. In response to detecting a loss of communication with the event destination, the BMC may perform lossy compression of the monitored utilization levels for the hardware component, wherein the lossy compression produces a utilization value that is representative of the monitored utilization levels, but uses less data storage capacity. The utilization value may be transmitted to the event destination instead of the monitored utilization levels in response to determining that communication with the event destination has been reestablished.

    摘要: A method includes running servers to provide computer services to client devices and storing a hardware profile for each of a plurality of server models, wherein each hardware profile identifies hardware components that should be enabled to implement the server model on one of the servers. A request is received from a client device to provide computer services on one or more of the servers using a selected server model and applying the hardware profile for the selected server model to configure the hardware components of the one or more of the servers to use the identified hardware components without manually reconfiguring the one or more of the servers. Still further, the method includes providing computer services to the client device using the one or more of the servers that has been configured using the hardware profile for the selected server model.

    摘要: A memory module stores a computing device type-specific parameter for each of a number of different types of computing devices. When the memory module is installed within a computing device, the computing device reads the computing device type-specific parameter for the particular type of computing device, and configures itself to use the memory module according to this parameter. As different types of memory modules become available, they are tested against different types of computing devices to determine the computing device type-specific parameter with which they should be programmed for each type of computing device.

    摘要: Methods and systems for performing one or more operations on a first computing device are disclosed. A method includes receiving, from a second computing device via a short-range wireless communication, a service session setup request and an identifier of one of the second computing device and an associated user of the second computing device. The method further includes determining whether to authorize the service session setup request based on the identifier. Then in response to determining to authorize the service session setup request, a service session may be established between the first and the second computing devices. The method also includes receiving one or more service instructions that are allowable based on the identifier. The method furthermore includes performing, at the first computing device, the one or more operations based on the service instructions.

    摘要: In a hybrid memory system that includes a host memory controller and a non-volatile memory DIMM, where the DIMM is coupled to the host memory controller by a memory bus, the DIMM includes non-volatile memory, a DIMM bus adapter, and a local memory controller, the local memory controller is configured to control memory accesses within the DIMM, the DIMM bus adapter is configured to adapt the local memory controller to the bus for memory communications with the host memory controller in accordance with a bus protocol, bus resiliency may be provided by: discovering, by the DIMM bus adapter, a memory error in the DIMM; providing, by the DIMM bus adapter to the host memory controller, an indication of an error by emulating a hardware error native to the bus protocol; and performing, by the host memory controller, one or more resiliency measures responsive to the indication of the error.
