In an embodiment, a processor includes at least one core to initiate a hot reset, and a peripheral device that is coupled to a root complex fabric via through the root port via an peripheral component interconnect express to on-chip system fabric (PCIE to OSF) bridge. The processor also includes a power control unit that includes reset logic to decouple the peripheral device from the root complex fabric responsive to initiation of the hot reset. After the peripheral device is decoupled from the root complex fabric, the reset logic is to assert a reset of the peripheral device while a first core of the at least one core is in operation. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Methods and apparatus to effect hot reset for an on die non-root port integrated device

In an embodiment, an apparatus comprises: a semiconductor die including but not limited to: at least one core to execute instructions; an agent to perform at least one function; a root complex including a first root port to interface to a first device to be coupled to the apparatus via a first interconnect and a second root port to interface to the agent via a bridge logic; and the bridge logic to interface the second root port to the agent, convert a first transaction from the first root port having a first format to a second format and communicate the first transaction having the second format to the agent. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Method, apparatus and system for integrating devices in a root complex

Methods and apparatus relating to increase Input Output Hubs in constrained link based multi-processor systems are described. In one embodiment, a first input output hub (IOH) and a second IOH are coupled a link interconnect and a plurality of processors, coupled to the first and second IOHs include pre-allocated resources for a single IOH. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.

Increasing Input Output Hubs in constrained link based multi-processor systems

Method and apparatus to scrub memory is disclosed. A patrol request, for example a read/write request, may be raised to the memory command scheduler in an out of order memory controller to scrub the memory. The patrol read/write request may be raised as and when patrol interval timer expires. The patrol read/write request may also be raised based on presence of a transaction in-flight to the memory, retry response from the memory command scheduler and correctable or non-correctable error response from the memory command scheduler. An interrupt may be raised to a processor upon completion response from the memory command scheduler.

Method and apparatus for scrubbing memory

In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method for receiving a first memory request from a first caching agent associated with a first processor, in a home agent associated with a memory, directing the first memory request to a writeback queue of the home agent if the first memory request is a writeback request and otherwise directing the first memory request to a second queue of the home agent. In this way, circular dependencies may be avoided. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
