Abstract: 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.

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.

Abstract: Technologies for managing image discovery includes a server controller to cause a server to enter a pre-boot state. The server controller communicates with the server while the server maintains the pre-boot state to determine identification data of the server in response to a transitioning the server to the pre-boot state. The server controller identifies a boot image of the server based on the identification data of the server and associates the server with the identified boot image.

Other embodiments may be disclosed and/or claimed.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for dynamic Node healing in a Multi-Node environment. A multi-node platform controller hub (MN-PCH) is configured to support multiple nodes through use of dedicated interfaces and components and shared capabilities. Interfaces and components may be configured to be used by respective nodes, or may be configured to support enhanced resiliency as redundant primary and spare interfaces and components. In response to detecting a failing or failing primary interface or component, the MN-PCH automatically performs failover operations to replace the primary with the spare. Moreover, the failover operation is transparent to the operating systems running on the platform's nodes.

Abstract: Systems and methods may provide for detecting a pending write operation directed to a target memory region and determining whether the target memory region satisfies a degradation condition in response to the pending write operation. Additionally, the target memory region may be automatically reconfigured as a cold storage region if the target memory region satisfies the degradation condition. In one example, determining whether the target memory region satisfies the degradation condition includes updating the number of write operations directed to the target memory region based on the pending write operation and comparing the number of write operations to an offset value, wherein the degradation condition is satisfied if the number of write operations exceeds the offset value.

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.
