  • Patent number: 10073742
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 9524219
    Abstract: Durable atomic transactions for non-volatile media are described. A processor includes an interface to a non-volatile storage medium and a functional unit to perform instructions associated with an atomic transaction. The instructions are to update data at a set of addresses in the non-volatile storage medium atomically. The functional unit is operable to perform a first instruction to create the atomic transaction that declares a size of the data to be updated atomically. The functional unit is also operable to perform a second instruction to start execution of the atomic transaction. The functional unit is further operable to perform a third instruction to commit the atomic transaction to the set of addresses in the non-volatile storage medium, wherein the updated data is not visible to other functional units of the processing device until the atomic transaction is complete.

  • Patent number: 9210148
    Abstract: An embodiment includes a secure and stable method for sending information across a compute continuum. For example, the method may include executing an application (e.g., video player) on a first node (e.g., tablet) with a desire to perform “context migration” to a second node (e.g., desktop). This may allow a user to watch a movie on the tablet, stop watching the movie, and then resume watching the movie from the desktop. To do so in a secure and stable manner, the first node may request security and performance credentials from the second node. If both credential sets satisfy thresholds, the first node may transfer content (e.g., encrypted copy of a movie) and state information (e.g., placeholder indicating where the movie was when context transfer began). The second node may then allow the user to resume his or her movie watching from the desktop. Other embodiments are described herein.

  • Publication number: 20150006962
    Abstract: A viral condition is identified in a system that causes input/output operations to be restricted during the viral condition. Crash dump data is enabled to be written to a particular region of volatile memory during the viral condition. Further, extraction of the crash dump data to fixed memory is initiated during the viral condition.
