    摘要: Methods and apparatus to facilitate fast restarts in processor systems are disclosed. An example processor restart method disclosed herein includes recording a log of pre-boot initialization actions, and replaying a portion of the log during subsequent processor restarts to shorten pre-boot initialization time. The example processor restart method disclosed herein may further include creating a log index table for easier referral to portions of the log, storing the log and the log index table in non-volatile memory, using the log index table to reorder the replaying of the log, and reordering the replay of the log to initialize the video graphics adapter earlier in a processor restart sequence.

    摘要: Various characteristics of a hard drive may be analyzed in order to determine the nature of an operating system stored thereon. For example, an operating system indicator and/or a boot record may be identified which may enable operating system identification. Alternatively, checksums may be used to disambiguate the stored operating system. Other disk characteristics may be utilized to enable a determination of operating system and operating system version. This information may be provided to the user in a graphical user interface indicating the correspondence between operating systems and drives, or a desired operating system, once identified, may be automatically used without analyzing all drives.

    摘要: Power consumption may be reduced by imbalancing the loads handled by interchangeable components. Interchangeable components, such as memory devices, processors, servers, or other entities, may be imbalanced to reduce power consumption as circumstances allow. As a result, interchangeable components that are used to implement effectively the same function may be powered down or hot-removed and their duties transferred to other components. As a result, the deactivated component may be powered down to a reduced power consumption state, thereby reducing the overall power consumption of the system.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for context sensitive component dispatch management to boot a processor are disclosed. An example method includes creating a driver that has dependency components for booting a target by identifying data associated with a boot target and using the data to determine which of the dependency components are valid for the boot target. The example method further includes augmenting a dependency expression associated with the driver with additional information indicative of the validity of the dependency components of the driver for the boot target and storing the additional information with the dependency expression.

    摘要: A peer-to-peer IT (Information Technology) backbone. The system includes at least one IT server and a plurality of client computers arranged in a peer-to-peer IT backbone. Each of the client computers includes an in-band processor, an out-of-band (OOB) microcontroller, and a storage device coupled to the in-band processor and OOB microcontroller. The storage device includes a reserved area for the OOB microcontroller to enable an IT-administration to push IT payloads from the at least one IT server onto the reserved area of at least one of the plurality of client computers. The IT payloads are disseminated throughout the peer-to-peer IT backbone by the OOB microcontroller of the client computers.

    摘要: A method and apparatus is described herein for fault resilient booting of a platform. Upon booting the platform, any boot routines marked are skipped. A current boot routine to be executed in a boot sequence is registered in nonvolatile memory. An attempt to execute the current boot routine is made. If the attempt is successful, the next boot entry is determined and skipped or executed, based on whether it is marked. However, if the execution fails the current boot routine is marked and, upon subsequent execution of the boot sequence, skipped.
