DYNAMICALLY CONFIGURABLE MOTHERBOARD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18653320 titled 'DYNAMICALLY CONFIGURABLE MOTHERBOARD
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a motherboard that can function as either multiple independent single-processor systems or a single multiple-processor system. When configured as multiple independent systems, each processor has its own control block to operate independently. When configured as a single system, all processors share resources and operate in a connected state.
- Motherboard can operate as multiple independent single-processor systems or a single multiple-processor system
- Control blocks are used to configure processors independently or in a connected state
- Processors can utilize separate motherboard resources or share resources when configured as a single system
Key Features and Innovation
- Flexibility to switch between multiple independent systems and a single system on the same motherboard
- Efficient use of resources based on the configuration chosen
- Simplified control block management for different operational modes
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in server systems, data centers, and high-performance computing environments where flexibility in system configuration is required.
Problems Solved
- Efficient resource utilization in different system configurations
- Simplified management of processors in various operational modes
Benefits
- Increased flexibility in system configuration
- Optimal resource allocation based on operational requirements
- Streamlined management of processors on the motherboard
Commercial Applications
- Server systems for cloud computing providers
- Data centers requiring dynamic system configurations
- High-performance computing environments with varying processing needs

Original Abstract Submitted
According to certain implementations, a motherboard is provided that enables operation as either multiple independent single-processor systems or a single multiple-processor system. In response to a request to configure the motherboard as multiple independent single-processor systems, a control block is implemented for each processor attached to the motherboard, where the control blocks configure the processors to boot and operate independently of each other, and the processors utilize separate motherboard resources. In response to a request to configure the motherboard as multiple independent single-processor systems, a single control block is implemented all processors attached to the motherboard, where the single control block configures all processors to boot and operate in a connected state, and the processors share all motherboard resources.
