Abstract: In some examples, a management controller includes a communication interface to communicate with a computing device, where the management controller is separate from a processor of the computing device. The management controller includes a management processor to receive, from the computing device, a first hash value that is based on a first hash function applied on an input value and a salt, generate a second hash value based on applying a second hash function on the first hash value and a pepper, and send the second hash value to the computing device.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a first client device establishes a remote session between a remote computing device and the first client device. One or more subsequent client devices that attempt to establish a remote session with the remote computing device are re-directed to another computing device that serves as a host for the remote session.

Abstract: An apparatus for configuring a computer system is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a processor, a read only memory (ROM) coupled to the processor, and a management device coupled to the read only memory. During operation, the management device preferably receives at least some data from the ROM.

Abstract: Systems, methodologies, media, and other embodiments associated with managing memory health are described. One exemplary system embodiment includes logic for detecting and correcting single bit memory errors. The example system may also include logic for selectively making unavailable a memory location associated with single bit memory errors.

Abstract: In at least some embodiments, a system comprises an electronic device having an adjustable hardware inventory and control logic coupled to the electronic device. The control logic initially allocates a first amount of power to the electronic device based on predetermined maximum power needs of the electronic device and later allocates a second amount of power to the electronic device based on a determination of a true hardware inventory of the electronic device.

Abstract: A method to communicate provide server management information that emulates a floppy disk drive (FDD) with a management processor. This management processor operably couples to a multi-function integrated circuit having a FDD controller. Monitoring hardware and sensors operably couple to the management processor and write server management information to data files within the emulated FDD. Programs that utilize the server management information may then read this server management information.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for dynamic suppression of spurious interrupts in a computer system. More specifically, there is provided a method that comprises providing a look-up table comprising source IDs and corresponding time delays for each of a plurality of interrupt lines, monitoring each of the plurality of interrupt lines, and updating the time delays in the look-up table based on the monitoring of the interrupt lines, and a system for implementing the method.
