Abstract
A partitionable multi-processor system includes a first plurality of components of the multi-processor system forming a first partitioned node that is operable as a first independent node, a second plurality of components of the multi-processor system forming a second partitioned node that is operable as a second independent node and a system controller that is configured to selectively and independently control separate power, clock, and/or reset signals to the first plurality of components forming the first partitioned node and the second plurality of components forming the second partitioned node in response to receiving a first partitioning mode instruction from a baseboard management controller (BMC) that identifies a partitioned state and configured to selectively control the separate power, clock, and/or reset signals to the first and second pluralities of components in a unified manner in response to receiving a second partitioning mode instruction from the BMC that identifies a unified state.
