摘要:
In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a processor, an expander memory bridge location, a memory coupled to the expander memory bridge location, and a bus controller including intercept logic to intercept and block communication from the processor to the expander memory bridge location and to emulate an expander memory bridge. In some embodiments, a method includes intercepting and blocking a status request to a device, regardless of whether the device is installed, and responding to the status request.

A control hub includes a first interface and a second interface to transfer data. The first interface connects to a first bus. The second interface connects to a peripheral bus. The control hub receives configuration address and configuration data during a configuration access. The control hub transfers the configuration data between the first interface and the second interface without transferring the configuration data to a configuration data register. The control hub further includes other interfaces to allow access to peripheral devices for system management and testing purposes.

Embodiments of the invention are generally directed to apparatuses, methods, and systems for a computing system feature activation mechanism. In an embodiment, a computing system receives a remotely generated feature activation information. The computing system compares the remotely generated feature activation information with a built-in feature activation mechanism. In an embodiment, a feature of the computing system is activated if the remotely generated feature activation information matches the built-in feature activation mechanism. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
摘要:
In an embodiment, a method is provided. The method of this embodiment provides receiving a request for data from a processor of a plurality of processors, determining a cache entry location based, at least in part, on the request, storing the data in a cache corresponding to the processor at the cache entry location, and storing a coherency record corresponding to the data in an affinity corresponding to the cache.
