    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses relating to a hardware memory test unit to check a section of a data storage device for a transient fault before the data is stored in and/or loaded from the section of the data storage device are described. In one embodiment, an integrated circuit includes a hardware processor to operate on data in a section of a data storage device, and a memory test unit to check the section of the data storage device for a transient fault before the data is stored in the section of the data storage device, wherein the transient fault is to cause a machine check exception if accessed by the hardware processor.

    Abstract: An apparatus for coherent shared memory across multiple clusters is described herein. The apparatus includes a fabric memory controller and one or more nodes. The fabric memory controller manages access to a shared memory region of each node such that each shared memory region is accessible using load store semantics, even in response to failure of the node. The apparatus also includes a global memory, wherein each shared memory region is mapped to the global memory by the fabric memory controller.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, the present invention includes a processor that has an on-die storage such as a static random access memory to store an architectural state of one or more threads that are swapped out of architectural state storage of the processor on entry to a system management mode (SMM). In this way communication of this state information to a system management memory can be avoided, reducing latency associated with entry into SMM. Embodiments may also enable the processor to update a status of executing agents that are either in a long instruction flow or in a system management interrupt (SMI) blocked state, in order to provide an indication to agents inside the SMM. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus related to Rack Scale Architecture (RSA) and/or Shared Memory Controller (SMC) techniques of fast zeroing are described. In one embodiment, a storage device stores meta data corresponding to a portion of a non-volatile memory. Logic, coupled to the non-volatile memory, causes an update to the stored meta data in response to a request for initialization of the portion of the non-volatile memory. The logic causes initialization of the portion of the non-volatile memory prior to a reboot or power cycle of the non-volatile memory. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.

    Abstract: Power protecting a memory subsystem with a centralized storage device. A centralized backup energy source provides power temporarily when power supply power is interrupted. In response to detecting interruption of power supply power, a controller selectively connects multiple selected memory devices to a centralized SATA (serial advanced technology attachment) storage device to transfer contents of the selected memory devices to the storage device while powered by the backup energy source.
