    摘要: Apparatus, systems, and methods to manage memory operations are described. In one example, a controller comprises logic to receive a first transaction to operate on a first data element in a volatile memory, determine whether the first data element is to be stored in a nonvolatile memory, and in response to a determination that the first data element is to be stored in a nonvolatile memory, to forward the first transaction to the memory controller coupled to the nonvolatile memory. Other examples are also disclosed and claimed.

    摘要: Technologies for system management interrupt (“SMI”) handling include a number of processor cores configured to enter a system management mode (“SMM”) in response to detecting an SMI. The first processor core to enter SMM and acquire a master thread lock sets an in-progress flag and executes a master SMI handler without waiting for other processor cores to enter SMM. Other processor cores execute a subordinate SMI handler. The master SMI handler may direct the subordinate SMI handlers to handle core-specific SMIs. The multi-core processor may set an SMI service pending flag in response to detecting the SMI, which is cleared by the processor core that acquires the master thread lock. A processor core entering SMM may immediately resume normal execution upon determining the in-progress flag is not set and the service pending flag is not set, to detect and mitigate spurious SMIs. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    摘要: Embodiments of apparatus, computer-implemented methods, systems, devices, and computer-readable media are described herein for a computing device with a platform entity such as an interrupt handier configured to notify an operating system or virtual machine monitor executing on the computing device of an input/output error-containment event. In various embodiments, the interrupt handler may be configured to facilitate recovery of a link to an input/output device that caused the input/output error-containment event, responsive to a directive from the operating system or virtual machine monitor.

    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.

    摘要: An event management resource monitors a processor environment. In response to detecting occurrence of a trigger event in the processor environment, the event management resource initiates a transfer of processor cache data from volatile storage in the processor environment to non-volatile memory. The event management resource can be configured to produce status information associated with the transfer of cache data to a respective non-volatile memory resource. The event management resource stores the status information in a non-volatile storage resource for later retrieval. Accordingly, status information associated with the event causing the transfer is available for analysis on subsequent power up or reboot of a respective computer system.
