    摘要: A method is described in which, in response to notice of a configuration event yet to happen within a network that is part of a link-based computing system, a component within said link based computing system: a) identifies networking configuration information changes to be made by components within the link-based computing system; and, b) sends instances of program code to each one of the components. Each instance of program code is to be executed by a specific component that it was sent to. Each instance of program code is customized to implement the particular one or more networking configuration information changes to be made at the specific component it was sent to.

    摘要: Embodiments include systems and methods for processing Reliability, Availability and Serviceability (RAS) events in a computer system. Embodiments comprise processing critical events in a first portion of a Management Interrupt (MI) period. The MI period is chosen to be not greater than a maximum tolerable Operating System (OS) latency period. If time remains in a current MI period after processing critical events, the system then processes non-critical events during the time remaining in the current MI period. If at the end of the current MI period, some non-critical events remain to be processed, a subsequent MI period is scheduled to process the remaining non-critical events.

    摘要: In some embodiments a boot progress of a System Boot Strap Processor in a multi-processor system is monitored and a boot processor failure is detected using an Application Processor. If the boot processor failure is detected at least a portion of the system is reinitialized (and/or the system is rebooted). Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    SECURE AND EFFICIENT MICROCODE(UCODE) HOT-UPGRADE FOR BARE METAL CLOUD

    摘要: A microcode (uCode) hot-upgrade method for bare metal cloud deployment and associated apparatus. Under the uCode hot-upgrade method, a uCode path is received at an out-of-band controller (e.g., baseboard management controller (BMC)) and buffered in a memory buffer in the out-of-band controller. The out-of-band controller exposes the memory buffer as a Memory-Mapped Input-Output (MMIO) range to a host CPU. A uCode upgrade interrupt service is triggered to upgrade uCode for one or more CPUs in a bare-metal cloud platform during runtime of a tenant host operating system (OS) using an out-of-bound process. This innovation enables cloud service providers to deploy uCode hot-patches to bare metal servers for live-patch without touching the tenant operating system environment.
