    摘要: A method and apparatus is described herein for performing parallel memory migration, as well as execution of management tasks over a plurality of management windows. Handlers are dispatched to multiple resources, such as processing elements or threads, to determine a proper memory migration handler. Each resource, during a management mode, executes a designated memory migration handler or an instance of a memory migration handler to perform a portion of a memory migration task in parallel. A task data structure is capable of supporting tracking of portions of memory migrated. In addition the task data structure is potentially also capable of tracking management tasks through plurality of management windows to support servicing of management tasks through multiple management windows.

    摘要: Technologies for broadcasting management information include a management server and a number of client devices. The management server encodes management data such as a certificate revocation list into a number of message fragments using a fountain code encoding algorithm and broadcasts the message fragments continually over a network. Each client device analyzes the network during a boot process to receive the broadcast message fragments. Each client device decodes the message fragments using a fountain code decoding algorithm and determines whether the message is complete. If the message is complete, the client device parses the message to retrieve the management data and may install the management data on the client device. If the message is incomplete, the client device may store the message fragments in nonvolatile storage for processing during future boot events. The client device may perform those operations in a pre-boot firmware environment. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
