    摘要: One embodiment provides a method of managing power in a computer system. A device of the computer system is operated at a selected power-state. The power consumption of the computer system is monitored. If the power consumption of the computer system is approaching or has exceeded a power cap selected for the computer system, then a request to reduce the power-state for the device is generated in response. The operating system is used to service the request to reduce the power-state according to the priority of the request. The reduced power state is forced out-of-band following the request to reduce the power-state if the request is not immediately serviceable by the operating system. Different approaches can be taken to force the reduced power state, using, for example, system management mode or a platform environment control interface.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a control system supports an unlimited number of feedback control loops all sharing control of a component. A component performance rate or “speed” is used as a common metric for negotiating control of the component. Each control loop continuously monitors a system parameter it is tasked with regulating, compares it to a setpoint for that system parameter, and “requests” a speed in relation to the deviation of the associated system parameter from the corresponding setpoint. A controller receives the requested speeds as dynamic inputs and selects one of the requested speeds according to predefined selection logic. The controller communicates the selected speed to an actuator, which causes the component to operate at the selected speed. In this manner, the control system in effect negotiates control of the component in a way that ensures that all of the system parameters are being managed within safe limits.

    摘要: A computing device includes a processor, firmware, a hardware component, and a debugging module. The firmware stores error decoding logic particular to the computing device. The hardware component detects an error in the computing device, and responsively issues an interrupt and halts the processor such that the processor cannot execute any more computer-readable code. The debugging module loads the logic from the firmware at reset and executes the logic responsive to the interrupt. The debugging module does not use the processor to execute the logic, the firmware is not part of the debugging module, and the debugging module is not part of the hardware component. The firmware may also store a mapping between registers of the hardware component and field-replaceable hardware units of the computing device, which the debugging module loads at reset and uses when executing the error decoding logic to determine which unit has caused the error.
