  • Publication number: 20250225017
    Abstract: A system comprises a machine check architecture and a processor. The machine check architecture is configured to log hardware errors. The processor is configured to obtain a log of one or more of the hardware errors from the machine check architecture and/or to generate a copy of the log. The processor is further configured to either (1) deliver the log to an in-band agent and the copy of the log to an out-of-band agent or (2) deliver the copy of the log to the in-band agent and the log to the out-of-band agent. Various other devices, systems, and methods are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 10403351
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for using a scoreboard to track updates to configuration state registers are disclosed. A system includes one or more processing nodes, one or more memory devices, a plurality of configuration state registers, and a communication fabric coupled to the processing unit(s) and memory device(s). The system uses a scoreboard to track updates to the configuration state registers during run-time. Prior to a node going into a power-gated state, the system stores only those configuration state registers that have changed. This reduces the amount of data written to memory on each transition into power-gated state, and increases the amount of time the node can spend in the power-gated state. Also, configuration state registers are grouped together to match the memory access granularity, and each group of configuration state registers has a corresponding scoreboard entry.
