Abstract: Apparatus, systems, methods, and articles may operate to store one or more parameters associated with a pseudo-device in a device configuration table associated with a first partition within a multi-partition computing platform. An inter-partition bridge (IPB) may be exposed to an operating system executing within the first partition. The IPB may be adapted to couple the first partition to a second partition sequestered from the first partition. The IPB may be configured by the parameter(s) associated with the pseudo-device. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Abstract: In some embodiments, an inter-partition apparatus includes a set of registers to store direct memory access (DMA) controls and to store an access control list visible to two or more operating environments separated by a partition, the set of registers including posted receive buffers and transmit pending buffers. A DMA device streams data in both directions between the two or more operating environments in response to the stored DMA controls and in response to the access control list using the posted receive buffers and the transmit pending buffers. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: In a many-core processor based system with many logical processing cores and a system memory, configuring the system so that the cores are segregated into a several partitions, each partition having at least one core and an area of the system memory allocated exclusively for the use of programs executing in the partition (partition local memory), allocating an inter-partition area of the system memory distinct from any partition local memory and inaccessible to an operating system executing in any partition configuring the inter-partition area so that a sending program executing in a sending partition is operable to write to the inter-partition area using a driver executing in the sending partition and so that a receiving program executing in a receiving partition is operable to read from the inter-partition area using a driver executing in the receiving partition.
