    Abstract: A non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM) is used in a computer system to store information that allows the NVRAM to autonomously initialize itself at power-on. The computer system includes a processor, an NVRAM controller coupled to the processor, and an NVRAM that comprises the NVRAM controller. The NVRAM is byte-rewritable and byte-erasable by the processor. The NVRAM stores a memory interface table containing information for the NVRAM controller to autonomously initialize the NVRAM upon power-on of the computer system without interacting with the processor and firmware outside of the NVRAM. The information is provided by the NVRAM controller to the processor to allow the processor to access the NVRAM.

    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: Systems and methods of implementing server architectures that can facilitate the servicing of memory components in computer systems. The systems and methods employ nonvolatile memory/storage modules that include nonvolatile memory (NVM) that can be used for system memory and mass storage, as well as firmware memory. The respective NVM/storage modules can be received in front or rear-loading bays of the computer systems. The systems and methods further employ single, dual, or quad socket processors, in which each processor is communicably coupled to at least some of the NVM/storage modules disposed in the front or rear-loading bays by one or more memory and/or input/output (I/O) channels. By employing NVM/storage modules that can be received in front or rear-loading bays of computer systems, the systems and methods provide memory component serviceability heretofore unachievable in computer systems implementing conventional server architectures.
