摘要：A processor includes non-volatile memory in which platform state is saved inorder to record the hardware resources present in the platform. The platform stateinformation may be received by an out-of-band means, such as that provided to asecondary processor of a management engine. Rather than querying the individual
hardware resources during the boot process in order to detect their presence on theplatform, a saved platform state is queried in the non-volatile memory. In this manner,detection of resources may be streamlined. For at least one alternative embodiment,initialization of resources may be streamlined during the boot process by performinginitialization of some hardware resources by a first processor while a secondary
processor concurrently performs initialization of others of the hardware resources. Otherembodiments are also described and claimed.
