Abstract: An information handling system includes a host processing system and a baseboard management controller (BMC). The host processing system includes a main processor that instantiates a management controller agent, and a general-purpose processing unit (GPU). The BMC is coupled to the host processing system and to the GPU. The BMC is configured to direct the management controller agent to retrieve first management information from the GPU, receive the first management information from the management controller agent, retrieve second management information from the GPU, and provide a health indication for the GPU based upon the first management information and the second management information.

Abstract: An information handling system (IHS) prevents execution of corrupted bootup instructions in flash memory. A memory component contains basic input/output system (BIOS) instructions to execute during boot up of the IHS. A host processor is in communication with the memory component via the system interconnect to execute the BIOS instructions to configure the IHS. A support processor executes instructions to configure the IHS to: (a) calculate a current hash value for the BIOS instructions; (b) access a trusted encrypted hash value and the unique key from a secure storage; (c) decrypt the trusted encrypted hash value using the unique key to obtain a trusted hash value; (d) determine whether the current hash value is identical to the trusted hash value; and (e) allow execution of the BIOS instructions by the host processor in response to determining that the encrypted current hash value is identical to the trusted hash value.
