摘要:
Technologies for providing manageability redundancy for micro server and clustered System-on-a-Chip (SoC) deployments are presented. A configurable multi-processor apparatus may include multiple integrated circuit (IC) blocks where each IC block includes a task block to perform one or more assignable task functions and a management block to perform management functions with respect to the corresponding IC block. Each task block and each management block may include one or more instruction processors and corresponding memory. Each IC block may be controllable to perform a function of one or more other IC blocks. The IC blocks may communicate with each other via a management communication infrastructure that may include a communication path from each of the management blocks to each of the other management blocks. Via the management communication infrastructure, the management blocks may bridge communication paths between pairs of management blocks.
摘要:
A viral condition is identified in a system that causes input/output operations to be restricted during the viral condition. Crash dump data is enabled to be written to a particular region of volatile memory during the viral condition. Further, extraction of the crash dump data to fixed memory is initiated during the viral condition.
摘要:
Platform controller, computer-readable storage media, and methods associated with initialization of a computing device. In embodiments, a platform controller may comprise a boot controller and one or more non-volatile memory modules, coupled with the boot controller. In embodiments, the one or more non-volatile memory modules may have first instructions and second instructions stored thereon. The first instructions may, when executed by a processor of a computing device hosting the platform controller, cause initialization of the computing device. The second instructions, when executed by the boot controller, may cause the boot controller to monitor at least a portion of the execution of the first instructions by the computing device and may generate a trace of the monitored portion of the execution of the first instructions. In embodiments, the trace may be stored in the one or more non-volatile memory modules. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

摘要:
Technologies for facilitating inter-system-on-a-chip (SoC) communication include a first SoC, a second SoC, and a dedicated manageability controller network. The first SoC includes a first main processor, a first manageability controller, and a memory dedicated to the first manageability controller and having manageability controller firmware stored thereon. The first manageability controller is different from the first main processor and to control functions of the first SoC. The second SoC is different from the first SoC and includes a second main processor and a second manageability control, which is different from the second main processor and to control functions of the second SoC. The second SoC is to access the manageability controller firmware of the memory of the first SoC over the dedicated manageability network.
摘要:
A first computational device receives a response generated by a second computational device for a third computational device. A target that is suitable for use by the third computational device is determined. The response is transmitted with an address of the target to the third computational device.
摘要:
A system for identifying peripheral devices in an information handling system uses a path-based signature for each peripheral component device. A static table is included for listing the path of each peripheral device and is accessible to the Basic Input-Output System (BIOS). The BIOS is configured to identify peripheral components associated and determine a path-base device signature for each peripheral component.
摘要:
In an information handling system, a plurality of system resources are usable by at least one processor. An affinity structure includes elements describing the relative accessibility of the plurality of system resources to the processor. An affinity manager adjusts the affinity structure in response to a least a first one of the plurality of system resources operating outside of at least one operating parameter.

In accordance with certain embodiments of the present disclosure, an information handling system is provided. The information handling system may include a plurality of processors, each processor comprising multiple cores, a memory system coupled to the plurality of processors, and a controller coupled to the plurality of processors. The controller may be configured to: receive a local system management interrupt (SMI) signal regarding an error associated with at least one of the multiple cores, determine that the received local SMI signal triggers a global SMI based on a global SMI trigger rule, cause the plurality of processors to enter a global system management mode (SMM), and log the error in a shared resource shared by the plurality of processors during the global SMM.
摘要:
An information handling system includes a processor having access to a system memory. The system is operable to detect a thermal alert and identify an associated portion of system memory. The system may then modify memory allocation information used by an operating system to allocate system memory. When the thermal alert indicates a rising memory module temperature that exceeds a specified threshold, the modification of the memory allocation information causes the memory to appear to be more “distant” from the system processor(s) and thereby allocated less preferentially than other memory. If the temperature continues to rise beyond a higher threshold, a second modification of the memory allocation information is performed to simulate a “hot eject” of the memory module. As the memory module cools, the memory allocation information can be restored to simulate a hot add of the memory module and to restore the proximity of the memory module.
