Abstract
Various embodiments described herein include one or more of systems, methods, firmware, and software to synchronize system information between processors during system boot in a links-based multi-processor system. Some embodiments synchronize data block by block through memory rather than piece by piece through registers by allowing a System Bootstrap Processor ('SBSP') to directly access synchronization data in local memory of each of one or more Application Processors. These and other embodiments are described in greater detail below.
