SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GRANULAR RESET MANAGEMENT WITHOUT REBOOT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18312759 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GRANULAR RESET MANAGEMENT WITHOUT REBOOT
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system for managing resets in a computer system without the need for a complete system reboot.
- The system includes a subsystem and a processor with a reset management circuit.
- The reset management circuit receives a command to reset the subsystem.
- It determines if the subsystem can be reset without rebooting the entire system.
- If it can, the circuit blocks the use of the subsystem, drains it, and then resets it.
- The patent also covers the circuitry and method used in this system.
Original Abstract Submitted
A system for granular reset management without reboot is disclosed. The system may include a subsystem, a processor including a reset management circuit coupled to the subsystem. The reset management circuit may include circuitry to receive a command to reset the subsystem, determine whether the subsystem can be reset without performing a system wide reboot, and based on a determination that the subsystem can be reset without performing a system wide reboot, block the use of the subsystem, drain the subsystem, and reset the subsystem. Circuity and method are also disclosed.
