Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for a processor and a computer system to enter system management mode (SMM). The method is applied to the processor, which includes at least one logical core. The method includes entering the SMM in response to a system management interrupt (SMI), storing current state information to a corresponding state save area; setting operation mode to target operating mode, and executing the SMI handler under the target operating mode. The address of the state save area, the address of the core configuration information memory space, and the address of the SMI handler can be determined directly. Each logical core may enter the target operating mode directly through hardware setting every time after entering the SMM, and thus does not need to perform a fixed operation of mode switching when executing the SMI handler, which may improve the execution efficiency of the SMI handler.

Abstract: A substrate stripping method and an epitaxial wafer, relating to the technical field of semiconductors. The method comprises: providing a substrate (1), the substrate (1) having a recess, and the recess being distributed on a first surface (1a) of the substrate (1); forming a hydrophilic layer (3) in the recess; forming, on the first surface (1a), an etching sacrificial layer (4) covering the first surface (1a), the etching sacrificial layer (4) and the recess defining a flowing space (A); growing an epitaxial layer (5) on the etching sacrificial layer (4); and soaking the etching sacrificial layer (4) and the substrate (1) in an etching liquid, and corroding the etching sacrificial layer (4) by means of the etching liquid until the epitaxial layer (5) is separated from the substrate (1). The method can rapidly and uniformly etch the etching sacrificial layer (4).

Abstract: The present application relates to the technical field of system management mode (SMM), and in particular it relates to a control method, a processor, and a computer system for system management mode. The method is applied to a processor. The processor includes at least one logical core. The method performs an initialization setting before each logical core enters system management mode. The initialization setting includes: allocating system management random access memory (SMRAM) required in the SMM to each logical core; and storing addresses related to the SMRAM of each logical core into at least one model-specific register MSR. There is no need to set SMRAM for each logical core serially. This shortens the time spent on initialization in the SMM and improves the execution efficiency of initialization.

Abstract: A booting technology for a multi-die and multi-core computing platform is shown. A storage device stores number 1 firmware code and number 0 firmware code. A master die is coupled to the storage device through a bus and accesses the number 1 firmware code from the storage device through the bus. A first slave die is also coupled to the storage device through the bus. However, instead of accessing the storage device for the number 1 firmware code, the first slave die monitors the bus and retrieves the number 1 firmware code, accessed by the master die, from the bus. The master die further accesses the number 0 firmware code from the storage device through the bus. The master die executes the number 0 firmware code to operate the master die and the first slave die to boot the system and start up the platform.

Abstract: A multi-die and multi-core computing platform in which multiple dies share the same storage device for firmware code storage is shown. After a slave die loads #1 firmware code from the storage device through a bus, the right to use the bus is released by the slave die and the slave die outputs a #0 enable signal to a master die. According to the #0 enable signal, the master die gains the right to use the bus. Through the bus, the master die loads #0 firmware code from the storage device. The slave die executes the #1 firmware code and the master die executes the #0 firmware code to initialize a link between the master and slave dies.
