A system can predict memory device failure through identification of correctable error patterns based on the memory architecture. The failure prediction can thus account for the circuit-level of the memory rather than the mere number or frequency of correctable errors. A failure prediction engine correlates hardware configuration of the memory device with correctable errors (CEs) detected in data of the memory device to predict an uncorrectable error (UE) based on the correlation.

Uncorrectable memory error prediction

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture (e.g., physical storage media) to implement software defined silicon feature licensing are disclosed. Example licensor systems disclosed herein includes a third party verifier to verify one or more credentials included in a request to become an authorized delegated licensor, the request received from a third party. Disclosed example licensor systems also include a feature identifier to identify a feature of a silicon structure which the third party is to be granted the authority to license. Disclosed example licensor systems further include a configuration installation code generator to generate feature configuration installation code, the feature configuration installation code to be used by the third party to generate at least a portion of the license, the portion of the license to be used by a licensee to configure the silicon structure to access the licensed feature, and contents of the feature configuration installation code encrypted to prevent access by the authorized delegated licensor.

Software defined silicon feature licensing

Methods and apparatus for scalable MCTP infrastructure. A system is split into independent MCTP domains, wherein each MCTP domain uses Endpoint Identifiers (EIDs) for endpoint devices within the MCTP domain in a manner similar to conventional MCTP operations. A new class of MCTP devices (referred to as a Domain Controllers) is provided to enable inter-domain communication and communication with global devices. Global traffic originators or receivers like a BMC (Baseboard Management Controller), Infrastructure Processing Unit (IPU), Smart NIC (Network Interface Card), Debugger, or PROT (Platform Root or Trust) discover and establish two-way communication through the Domain Controllers to any of the devices in the target domain(s). The Domain Controllers are configured to implement tunneled connections between global devices and domain endpoint devices. The tunneled connections may employ encapsulated messages with outer and inner headers and/or augmented MCTP messages with repurposed fields used to store source and destination EIDs.

Scalable MCTP infrastructure

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture (e.g., physical storage media) to implement and manage software defined silicon products are disclosed. Example semiconductor devices disclosed herein include circuitry configurable to provide one or more features. Disclosed example semiconductor devices also include a license processor to activate or deactivate at least one of the one or more features based on a license received via a network from a first remote enterprise system. Disclosed example semiconductor devices further include an analytics engine to report telemetry data associated with operation of the semiconductor device to at least one of the first remote enterprise system or a second remote enterprise system, the analytics engine to report the telemetry data in response to activation or deactivation of the at least one of the one or more features based on the license.

Software defined silicon implementation and management

Techniques and apparatus for managing a distributed computing environment using event digests are described. In one embodiment, for example, an apparatus may include at least one memory, and logic for a system manager, at least a portion of the logic comprised in hardware coupled to the at least one memory, the logic to determine a workload to schedule, access an event digest associated with a plurality of compute hosts, the event digest comprising event digest values determined using out-of-band information, determine metrics from the event digest, generate at least one host weight for at least a portion of the plurality of compute hosts based on the metrics, identify at least one candidate host from the portion of the plurality of compute hosts based on the at least one host weight, and schedule the workload on the at least one candidate host. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

An apparatus is provided which comprises: a first circuitry to receive a measurement of a first temperature of a section of a computing device during a first loading condition of the computing device, and to receive a measurement of a second temperature of the section of the computing device during a second loading condition of the computing device; and a second circuitry to detect a potential fault in a cooling system to cool the computing device, based at least in part on the first temperature and the second temperature.

Temperature sensing based flow monitoring and fault detection

A method and apparatus for coordinating and authenticating requests for data. In one embodiment, the apparatus comprises: a baseboard management controller (BMC); and a request coordinator coupled to the BMC to intercept BMC requests and to provide intercepted requests to the BMC, where the coordination interface comprises a request parser to parse parameters for each of the BMC requests, one or more queues to store the requests while the BMC is servicing another BMC request, and a command submitter to send individual BMC requests to the BMC, wherein the BMC is operable to generate the responses to the BMC requests received from the coordination interface and to send the responses to the coordination interface.

Technologies for providing manageability redundancy for micro server and clustered System-on-a-Chip (SoC) deployments are presented. A configurable multi-processor apparatus may include multiple integrated circuit (IC) blocks where each IC block includes a task block to perform one or more assignable task functions and a management block to perform management functions with respect to the corresponding IC block. Each task block and each management block may include one or more instruction processors and corresponding memory. Each IC block may be controllable to perform a function of one or more other IC blocks. The IC blocks may communicate with each other via a management communication infrastructure that may include a communication path from each of the management blocks to each of the other management blocks. Via the management communication infrastructure, the management blocks may bridge communication paths between pairs of management blocks.

An apparatus and system for throttling I/O devices in a computer system is provided. In an example, a method for throttling device power demand during critical power events. The method includes detecting a critical power event and issuing a signal to system devices to defer optional transactions during the critical power event.

Throttling device power

Technologies for facilitating inter-system-on-a-chip (SoC) communication include a first SoC, a second SoC, and a dedicated manageability controller network. The first SoC includes a first main processor, a first manageability controller, and a memory dedicated to the first manageability controller and having manageability controller firmware stored thereon. The first manageability controller is different from the first main processor and to control functions of the first SoC. The second SoC is different from the first SoC and includes a second main processor and a second manageability control, which is different from the second main processor and to control functions of the second SoC. The second SoC is to access the manageability controller firmware of the memory of the first SoC over the dedicated manageability network.
