  • Patent number: 8365012
    Abstract: A root port connection functioning as a PCI express bridge, and having a PCI express path constituting a PCI express tree having a PCI express device or switch; when detecting a failure on a PCI express path, a PCI express device or switch transmits a failure signal; the root port transmits an SMI responsive to the failure signal; the CPU executes the BIOS responsive to the SMI; the BIOS collects a log of the PCI express path where failure is detected, analyzes the collected log to judge failure type, and upon a fatal failure on the PCI express path, resets the PCI express tree downstream of the root port that received the failure signal, and upon a non-fatal failure on the PCI express path, resets the PCI express device in which the failure occurred; and the CPU closes the reset PCI express device by executing the device driver.

  • Patent number: 6564302
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a data ownership table which is a list of processor numbers having data on each of lines in a level 2 cache. When data at an address pointed by a store instruction exists in the level 2 cache, the apparatus references the table to selectively issue an invalidation request only to a processor in which data at the address exists, but does not issue the request to a processor in which the data does not exist. The path busy ratio can be reduced and the data coherency among processors and a system controller can be maintained with a small amount of logics. When a system controller is divided into a plurality of interleaves operating independently of one another and respectively issuing an invalidation request, the requests issued from the interleaves are put into a queue, and requests having different destination processor numbers are simultaneously issued.
