  • Methods And Apparatus For Creating An Isolated Partition For A Virtual Trusted Platform Module
    Publication number: 20120030676
    Abstract: A data processing system isolates a virtual trusted platform module (vTPM) manager in the processing system from other management software in the processing system. In one example process, the processing system launches a virtual machine monitor (VMM) that includes a memory-mapped input/output (MMIO) trap. The processing system also launches a vTPM manager in a first virtual machine (VM). In addition, the processing system launches a second VM to contain virtual machine management programs other than the vTPM manager and the MMIO trap. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Computer system having a single processor equipped to serve as multiple logical processors for pre-boot software to execute pre-boot tasks in parallel
    Publication number: 20030009654
    Abstract: A computer system is provided with a single processor equipped to serve as multiple logical processors. The computer system comprises a host chipset connected to the processor; PCI devices connected to the host chipset, via a PCI bus; and a main storage connected to the host chipset and arranged to store an operating system (OS) and contain a basic input/output system (system BIOS) configured to execute multiple pre-boot tasks, including memory initialization and PCI bus initialization concurrently, on the processor which serve as multiple logical processors before passing control to the operating system (OS).
