Abstract: A PCIe device error handling system includes a BIOS subsystem coupled to a PCIe device and a BMC device. The BIOS subsystem identifies an error in the PCIe device and, in response, begins an SMM that suspends the performance of at least one workload in an operating system, and generates and transmits a PCIe device error information collection instruction associated with the PCIe device to the BMC device. Subsequent to transmitting the PCIe device error information collection instruction, the BIOS subsystem ends the SMM such that the performance of at least one workload is resumed in the operating system. In response to receiving the PCIe device error information collection instruction from the BIOS subsystem, the BMC device retrieves PCIe device error information from the PCIe device while the operating system performs the at least one workload, and stores the PCIe device error information.

Abstract: Techniques for identifying network congestion and adapting network performance to relieve the network congestion are described. As described, a network element such as a switch reports network congestion indicators such as link level control frames to a network controller. The network controller uses the network congestion indicators reported from the network elements to identify congestion points, data traffic, and data flows experiencing congestion at a network level. The network controller then determines optimized control parameters for the network in order to reduce or alleviate the congestion at the congestion points.
