SEAMLESS UPDATE PROVISIONING FOR COMMON CHIPSETS CARRYING DIFFERENT CPU FAMILIES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240134622 titled 'SEAMLESS UPDATE PROVISIONING FOR COMMON CHIPSETS CARRYING DIFFERENT CPU FAMILIES

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system for network management that includes a silicon management system, a chipset management system, and a boot system.

• The silicon management system operates on a processor to identify versions for multiple silicon data processing devices and implement updates to them.
• The chipset management system operates on a processor to identify versions for multiple chipsets associated with the silicon data processing devices and implement updates to them.
• The boot system is configured to cause systems associated with the updated silicon data processing devices and chipsets to reboot.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various industries such as telecommunications, data centers, and cloud computing for efficient network management and maintenance.

Problems Solved

1. Ensures that all silicon data processing devices and chipsets are up to date with the latest versions. 2. Simplifies the process of updating and rebooting systems in a network environment.

Benefits

1. Improved network performance and reliability. 2. Streamlined network management processes. 3. Enhanced security through regular updates.

Potential Commercial Applications

"Network Management System for Silicon and Chipset Updates" - This technology could be utilized by network equipment manufacturers, IT service providers, and large enterprises for managing and updating their network infrastructure.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be existing network management systems that focus on software updates but may not specifically address silicon data processing devices and chipsets.

How does this system handle potential conflicts during updates?

The patent application does not provide details on how conflicts during updates, such as compatibility issues or failures, are managed within the system.

What is the scalability of this system for large networks?

The scalability of the system for managing updates across a large number of silicon data processing devices and chipsets is not discussed in the patent application.

Original Abstract Submitted

a system for network management comprising a silicon management system operating on a processor that causes the processor to load one or more algorithms stored in a non-transient data memory to cause the processor to identify a version for a plurality of silicon data processing devices and to implement an update to one or more of the silicon data processing devices, a chipset management system operating on a processor that causes the processor to load one or more algorithms stored in a non-transient data memory to cause the processor to identify a version for a plurality of chipsets, each chipset associated with one of the silicon data processing devices and to implement an update to one or more of the chipsets and a boot system configured to cause a system associated with the updated silicon data processing devices and the updated chipsets to reboot.
