Abstract
Apparatus, systems, methods, and articles may operate to store one or more parameters associated with a pseudo-device in a device configuration table associated with a first partition within a multi-partition computing platform. An inter-partition bridge (IPB) may be exposed to an operating system executing within the first partition. The IPB may be adapted to couple the first partition to a second partition sequestered from the first partition. The IPB may be configured by the parameter(s) associated with the pseudo-device. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
Claims30
A method, including:
- storing at least one parameter associated with a pseudo-device in a device configuration table associated with a first partition within a multi-partition computing platform;
- and
- exposing an inter-partition bridge (IPB) to an operating system (OS) executing in the first partition, wherein the IPB is adapted to couple the first partition to a second partition sequestered from the first partition, and wherein the IPB is configured by the at least parameter.
An article including a machine-accessible medium having associated information, wherein the information, when accessed, results in a machine performing:
- storing at least one parameter associated with a pseudo-device in a device configuration table associated with a first partition within a multi-partition computing platform;
- and
- exposing an inter-partition bridge (IPB) to an operating system (OS) executing in the first partition, wherein the IPB is adapted to couple the first partition to a second partition sequestered from the first partition, and wherein the IPB is configured by the at least parameter.
An apparatus, including:
- first and second partitions in a multi-partition computing platform, the second partition sequestered from an operating system (OS) associated with the first partition;
- and
- a device configuration table associated with the first partition to contain at least one parameter associated with a pseudo-device, the at least one parameter used to configure an inter-partition bridge (IPB) established to couple the first partition to the second partition.
A system, including:
- first and second partitions in a multi-partition computing platform, the second partition sequestered from an operating system (OS) associated with the first partition;
- a device configuration table associated with the first partition to contain at least one parameter associated with a pseudo-device, the at least one parameter used to configure an inter-partition bridge (IPB) established to couple the first partition to the second partition;
- and
- a display coupled to the first partition to display processed data.
