Patent number: 10649832Abstract: Embodiments of the claimed invention include a computing device having a host processor for executing a firmware environment and a manageability controller. The firmware environment reserves a frame buffer in main memory and loads a graphics protocol driver to provide the frame buffer to an operating system of the computing device. The operating system renders graphical images to the frame buffer using a graphics driver. The manageability controller reads the graphical image from the frame buffer and may transmit the graphical image to a remote computing device. In response to a fatal error of the computing device, the manageability controller may store the graphical image to a non-volatile storage device. The host processor may assert a host reset signal in response to the fatal error, and the manageability controller may send an acknowledgment to the host processor after storing the graphical image. Other embodiments are described and claimed.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2017Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Kasper Wszolek, Janusz P. Jurski, Piotr Kwidzinski, Robert C. Swanson, Madhusudhan Rangarajan

Publication number: 20190138359Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for offloading data service operations from an application critical path are disclosed. A storage service control apparatus can include a compute resource interface configured to communicatively couple to a compute resource, a memory interface configured to communicatively couple to a memory resource, an out of band (oob) channel interface configured to communicatively couple to an oob channel, and a data service controller communicatively coupled to the oob channel interface. The data service controller is configured to identify a data service operation to be performed by the compute resource on data stored in the memory resource, load a data service agent configured to facilitate the data service operation, and perform the data service operation on the data to generate serviced data via the data service agent over the oob channel by an oob compute resource, thus freeing the compute resource from performing the data service operation.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 27, 2018Publication date: May 9, 2019Applicant: Intel CorporationInventors: Madhusudhan Rangarajan, Nagasubramanian Gurumoorthy, Robert Cone, Rajesh Poornachandran, Kartik Ananthanarayanan, Rebecca Weekly

Publication number: 20190044883Abstract: In multi-processor systems, some large jobs are performed by dividing the job into multiple tasks, having each task executed in parallel by separate nodes, and combining or synchronizing the results into a final answer. When communications between nodes represent a significant portion of total performance, techniques may be used to monitor and balance communications between the nodes so that the tasks will be completed at approximately the same time, thereby accelerating the completion of the job and avoiding wasting time and power by having some processors sit idle while waiting for other processors to catch up. Multiple synchronization points may be set up between the start and finish of task execution, to that mid-course corrections may be made.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 11, 2018Publication date: February 7, 2019Applicant: Intel CorporationInventors: Janusz Piotr Jurski, Jonathan Eastep, Keith D.

Patent number: 10146657Abstract: Platform controller, computer-readable storage media, and methods associated with initialization of a computing device. In embodiments, a platform controller may comprise a boot controller and one or more non-volatile memory modules, coupled with the boot controller. In embodiments, the one or more non-volatile memory modules may have first instructions and second instructions stored thereon. The first instructions may, when executed by a processor of a computing device hosting the platform controller, cause initialization of the computing device. The second instructions, when executed by the boot controller, may cause the boot controller to monitor at least a portion of the execution of the first instructions by the computing device and may generate a trace of the monitored portion of the execution of the first instructions. In embodiments, the trace may be stored in the one or more non-volatile memory modules. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2014Date of Patent: December 4, 2018Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Robert C. Swanson, C. Brendan Traw, Vincent J.

Patent number: 10073742Abstract: Technologies for providing manageability redundancy for micro server and clustered System-on-a-Chip (SoC) deployments are presented. A configurable multi-processor apparatus may include multiple integrated circuit (IC) blocks where each IC block includes a task block to perform one or more assignable task functions and a management block to perform management functions with respect to the corresponding IC block. Each task block and each management block may include one or more instruction processors and corresponding memory. Each IC block may be controllable to perform a function of one or more other IC blocks. The IC blocks may communicate with each other via a management communication infrastructure that may include a communication path from each of the management blocks to each of the other management blocks. Via the management communication infrastructure, the management blocks may bridge communication paths between pairs of management blocks.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2016Date of Patent: September 11, 2018Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Robert C.

Patent number: 9684457Abstract: Provided are a computer readable storage media, method, and system for gathering sensed data from devices to manage host command transmission and cooling of the device. Host commands are retrieved from a host memory in a host to perform Input/Output operations with respect to a device. The retrieved host commands are transmitted to the device to perform the I/O operations of the host command. A monitor command is transmitted to obtain sensed data from the device while processing the host commands. A rate of transmitting the host commands is adjusted in response to determining that the sensed data received from the device in response to the monitor command satisfies a condition.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2015Date of Patent: June 20, 2017Assignee: INTEL CORPORATIONInventors: Thanunathan Rangarajan, Eng Hun Ooi, Madhusudhan Rangarajan, Robert W.

Patent number: 9110716Abstract: An information handling system includes a set of power and performance profiles. Based on which of the profiles has been selected, the information handling system selects a thread scheduling table for provision to an operating system. The thread scheduling table determines the sequence of processor cores at which program threads are scheduled for execution. In a power-savings mode, the corresponding thread scheduling table provides for threads to be concentrated at subset of available processor cores, increasing the frequency with which the information handling system can place unused processors in a reduced power state.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2008Date of Patent: August 18, 2015Assignee: Dell Products, LPInventors: Mukund P.
