Abstract: A solution is presented to securing endpoints without the need for a separate bus or communication path. The solution allows for controlling access to endpoints by utilizing a management protocol by overlapping with existing interconnect communication paths in a packet format and utilizing a PCI address BDF (Bus number, Device number, and Function number) for verification.

Abstract: Technologies for prioritized execution of storage commands by a data storage device include determining a priority of storage commands issued by a host and adding the storage commands to a queue of the data storage device based on the determined priority of the storage command. For example, the storage command issued by the host may be divided into sub-commands and added to a storage sub-command queue of the data storage device based on the determined priority of the storage command. The priority of the storage commands may be determined based on any suitable criteria including, for example, the host storage command queue storing the storage command, metadata associated with the storage command, the type or size of the storage command, and/or other aspects of the storage command, the host, and/or the data storage device.

Abstract: In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method for receiving an information packet in a first port from an interconnect while an agent associated with the first port is in an idle low power state, transmitting a first signal from the first port along the interconnect to request re-transmission of the information packet, and sending a second signal from the first port to the agent to cause the agent to enter a fully active power state. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention accurately account for power dissipation in memory systems that include individual memory modules by keeping track of the number of read requests, the number of write requests, and the number of activate requests that are applied to the individual memory modules during selected time periods. If the sum of these totals exceeds a threshold level, the embodiments throttle the memory system, either by throttling the entire memory system based in response to the most active memory module, or by throttling individual memory modules as needed. Other embodiments of the invention may assign the same or different weights to activate requests, read requests, and write requests. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a memory controller includes first and second memory channel interfaces and memory access control circuitry. The memory access control circuitry is to send first and second primary data sections to the first and second memory channel interfaces, respectively, and send first and second redundant data sections to the second and first memory channel interfaces, respectively. The first and second redundant data sections are redundant with respect to the first and second primary data sections, respectively. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
