  • Patent number: 8527806
    Abstract: The present invention provides an information processing device having a CPU which executes an OS and firmware, and a plurality of memory controllers which are connected to the CPU, control writing to and reading from a plurality of memory units, and perform error monitoring, wherein the plurality of memory units each connected to the plurality of memory controllers, the memory controllers sequentially read memory areas of the plurality of memory units connected to the memory controllers, and perform error area monitoring, and the firmware converts addresses recognized by the memory controllers corresponding to the error areas into logical addresses recognized by the OS, and supplies the logical addresses to the OS.

  • Patent number: 8255920
    Abstract: In a time management control method of a computer system for managing each individual time of a plurality of virtual systems, a service process or retains an overall system time and a difference time between the overall system time and a virtual system time for each virtual system, and a firmware in the virtual system acquires the overall system time and the difference time, calculates a difference time between the overall system time and the change time of the virtual system, adds the both difference times, and informs the service processor. Accordingly, the virtual system time can be changed without time management hardware in each virtual system. Further, since service processor performs update processing only, it is also possible to prevent a time set error caused by delayed calculation processing etc.
