Abstract: A method and apparatus for improving the resume time of a platform. In one embodiment of the invention, the context of the platform is saved prior to entering an inactive state of the platform. When the platform is switched back to an active state, it reads the saved context and restores the platform to its original state prior to entering the inactive state. In one embodiment of the invention, the platform determines whether it should compress the saved context before storing it in a non-volatile memory based on the operating condition of the platform. This allows the platform to select the optimum method to allow faster resume time of the platform.

Abstract translation: 一种用于改善平台恢复时间的方法和装置。 在本发明的一个实施例中，平台的上下文在进入平台的不活动状态之前被保存。 当平台切换回活动状态时，它读取保存的上下文，并在进入非活动状态之前将平台恢复到原始状态。 在本发明的一个实施例中，平台基于平台的操作条件来确定在将保存的上下文存储在非易失性存储器之前是否应该压缩保存的上下文。 这允许平台选择最佳方法以允许更快的平台恢复时间。

Abstract: Reducing memory fragmentation. Memory is allocated during a preboot phase of a computer system, wherein the memory is allocated based on a plurality of memory types. Fragmentation of memory is determined, wherein a fragment includes a contiguous block of memory of the same type. At least a portion of memory allocated to a firmware module is coalesced based on the plurality of memory types if the fragmentation is greater than a threshold. An operating system is booted by the computer system.

Abstract: A computer system is disclosed. The computer system includes a storage device/ a device controller and a chipset. The device controller includes lock registers having values that correspond to the ranges of locked sectors of the storage device. The lock registers verify if a storage device access request is targeted for ranges of sectors of the storage device that are locked. The chipset includes an embedded controller to authenticate the storage device access request and to manage configuration of the storage device.

Abstract: Various embodiments are generally directed to techniques to maintain confidentiality of non-volatile memoryin a computer system through power state changes, such as, between a hibernation state and an awake state, for instance. Some embodiments are particularly directed a memory confidentiality manager (MCM) that clears content in a protected non-volatile memory unless appropriate session data is provided after a power state change. In various embodiments, the MCM may comprise one or more portions of a state machine (SM). In some embodiments, a memory controller associated with the protected memory may provide the session data to the MCM as part of an authentication operation. In some such embodiments, the memory controller may comprise one or more portions of a system on chip (SOC).

Abstract: A non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM) is used in a computer system to perform multiple roles in a platform storage hierarchy. The NVRAM is byte-addressable by the processor and can be configured into one or more partitions, with each partition implementing a different tier of the platform storage hierarchy. The NVRAM can be used as mass storage that can be accessed without a storage driver.
