Methods and apparatus relating to characterizing proximity risks within a radio mesh are described. In an embodiment, test manager logic causes periodic testing of one of a first group of processor cores or a second group of processor cores. Each of the first group of processor cores or the second group of processor cores comprises one or more processor cores of a multi-core processor. Memory stores information corresponding to the period testing of the first group of processor cores and the second group of processor cores. A fault signal is to be generated in response to completion of the period testing outside a Fault Tolerant Time Interval (FTTI). Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.

Scheduling periodic CPU core diagnostics within an operating system during run-time

A method and apparatus for cross validation of data using multiple subsystems are described. According to one embodiment of the invention, a computer comprises a first subsystem and a second subsystem; and a memory, the memory comprising a first memory region and a second memory region, the first memory region being associated with the first subsystem and a second memory region being associated with the second subsystem; upon start up of the computer, the first subsystem to validate the second memory region and the second subsystem to validate the first memory region.

Cross validation of data using multiple subsystems

In one embodiment, a method is provided. The method of this embodiment provides if an OOB (out-of-band) state machine has not received a confirmation from an operating system that the operating system is functional, the operating system using a primary IP (internet protocol) address, then if the OOB state machine is in a passive state, transitioning to an active state and obtaining an OOB IP address if the OOB state machine currently has no OOB IP address; and receiving one or more first packets using the OOB IP address.

Out-of-band state machine

Active management technology (AMT) may be provisioned in a client device automatically, which may provide a secure connection between the provisioning server and the client device. The client device comprising the active management technology may support zero-touch provisioning and one-touch provisioning.

Provisioning active management technology (AMT) in computer systems

Apparatus, system, and method having a first memory to receive a parameter associated with a second operating system protocol stack; and a first operating system protocol stack to be configured with said parameter. The system includes a communication medium and a manageability module. The method includes monitoring content of messages communicated between a host client computer and a server computer over a network, inspecting the content of the messages for protocol parameters, providing the protocol parameters to a manageability module associated with the host client computer, and configuring a second operating system protocol stack associated with the manageability module to match a first operating system protocol stack associated with the host client computer.

Internet protocol (IP) address sharing and platform dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) mediator

Described is a computing platform comprising a host processing system to host an operating system, a communication adapter to transmit data to or and receive data from a data transmission medium, and a non-volatile storage. The computing platform may also comprise an agent executable independently of the operating system to enable read-only or read/write access to at least a portion of the non-volatile storage.

Operating system independent agent

Cooperative embedded agents as well as manageability and security operations that can be performed on a host system having cooperative embedded agents are disclosed.

Cooperative embedded agents

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.

Mechanism to control access to a storage device

Method and Apparatuses for determining integrity of a platform and notifying a remote system. In one embodiment a verification agent accesses a portion of a memory on the platform at initialization of the platform to determine if the data has been compromised or corrupted. The verification agent causes the information to be transmitted to a remote system. The verification agent may be local to the platform for which integrity is determined, and transmit the information to a remote administrator. Alternatively, the agent may access the platform over a bus or private channel, or a network connection and indicate information regarding the verification process to an entity remote to the tested platform.

Notifying remote administrator of platform integrity determination

In one embodiment, a method is provided. The method of this embodiment provides receiving one or more packets that are addressed to an alternate IP (Internet Protocol) address and that include a LADLC (local application data link control) address in a system having an operating system-independent processor ('service processor') associated with the alternate IP address and an alternate DLC address, and an embedded network stack ('ENS') of the service processor associated with a primary IP address; performing filtering to determine if the LADLC address matches the alternate DLC address; and if the LADLC address matches the alternate DLC address, then replacing the alternate IP address of the one or more packets with the primary IP address, and forwarding the one or more packets to the ENS.

Local and remote network based management of an operating system-independent processor

Method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving network protocol compliant signal packets over a platform bus

An integrated circuit includes logic to process a received transport-protocol compliant packet. The logic is adapted to forward at least some portions of the packet so that the portions will be transmitted along an auxiliary bus. The portions are forwarded based, at least in part, on specific binary digital signals being provided in fixed, predetermined locations in the packet.
