HETEROGENEOUS COMPUTE DOMAINS WITH AN EMBEDDED OPERATING SYSTEM IN AN INFORMATION HANDLING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18378385 titled 'HETEROGENEOUS COMPUTE DOMAINS WITH AN EMBEDDED OPERATING SYSTEM IN AN INFORMATION HANDLING SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of the patent application describes an information handling system that includes a memory device, a memory, a chipset, and a basic input/output system (BIOS). The chipset consists of a main processor and a hybrid processor. The BIOS memory maps the hybrid processor to a first portion of the memory device during the first pre-boot phase and stores an embedded operating system in the memory. In the second pre-boot phase, the BIOS memory maps the main processor to a second portion of the memory device, stores a host operating system in the memory, and loads the embedded operating system on the hybrid processor. The second portion of the memory device is larger than the first portion.

  • The information handling system includes a memory device, memory, chipset, and BIOS.
  • The chipset comprises a main processor and a hybrid processor.
  • During the first pre-boot phase, the BIOS memory maps the hybrid processor to a first portion of the memory device.
  • An embedded operating system is stored in the memory during the first pre-boot phase.
  • During the second pre-boot phase, the BIOS memory maps the main processor to a second portion of the memory device.
  • A host operating system is stored in the memory during the second pre-boot phase.
  • The embedded operating system is loaded on the hybrid processor during the second pre-boot phase.
  • The second portion of the memory device is larger than the first portion.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Information handling systems with hybrid processors can benefit from this innovation.
  • Systems that require multiple pre-boot phases and the ability to load different operating systems can utilize this technology.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient memory mapping and allocation for different processors during pre-boot phases.
  • Simplified loading of different operating systems onto different processors.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved system performance and efficiency.
  • Flexibility in loading different operating systems onto different processors.
  • Enhanced memory management during pre-boot phases.


Original Abstract Submitted

An information handling system includes a memory device, a memory, a chipset, and a basic input/output system (BIOS). The chipset includes a main processor and a hybrid processor. During a first pre-boot phase, the BIOS memory maps the hybrid processor to a first portion of the memory device, and stores an embedded operating system in the memory. During a second pre-boot phase, the BIOS memory maps the main processor to a second portion of the memory device, stores a host operating system in the memory, and loads the embedded operating system on the hybrid processor. The second portion is a larger portion of the memory device than the first portion.
