Coordinated initialization system

An information handling system, comprising:

• a processing system;
• and
• a memory system that is coupled to the processing system and that includes instructions that, when executed by the processing system, cause the processing system to provide a coordinated initialization engine that is configured to:
• receive, from a first initialization subsystem in a computing system subsequent to an initialization command being provided to the computing system, first initialization progress information associated with first initialization subsystem operations performed by the first initialization subsystem;
• receive, from a second initialization subsystem in the computing system subsequent to the initialization command being provided to the computing system, second initialization progress information associated with second initialization subsystem operations performed by the second initialization subsystem;
• determine, using a coordinated initialization database that identifies dependences between the first initialization subsystem operations and the second initialization operations, that the first initialization progress information identifies a first initialization operation that is going to be performed by the first initialization subsystem and that is dependent on a second initialization operation that is identified by the second initialization progress information and that has not yet been performed by the second initialization subsystem;
• and
• cause, in response to determining that the first initialization operation that is going to be performed by the first initialization subsystem is dependent on the second initialization operation that has not yet been performed by the second initialization subsystem, the first initialization subsystem to pause the first initialization subsystem operations until the second initialization operation has been performed.

A method for coordinating initialization of multiple subsystems in a computing system, comprising:

• receiving, by a coordinated initialization subsystem in a computing system from a first initialization subsystem in the computing system subsequent to an initialization command being provided to the computing system, first initialization progress information associated with first initialization subsystem operations performed by the first initialization subsystem;
• receiving, by the coordinated initialization subsystem from a second initialization subsystem in the computing system subsequent to the initialization command being provided to the computing system, second initialization progress information associated with second initialization subsystem operations performed by the second initialization subsystem;
• determining, by the coordinated initialization subsystem using a coordinated initialization database that identifies dependences between the first initialization subsystem operations and the second initialization operations, that the first initialization progress information identifies a first initialization operation that is going to be performed by the first initialization subsystem and that is dependent on a second initialization operation that is identified by the second initialization progress information and that has not yet been performed by the second initialization subsystem;
• and
• causing, by the coordinated initialization subsystem in response to determining that the first initialization operation that is going to be performed by the first initialization subsystem is dependent on the second initialization operation that has not yet been performed by the second initialization subsystem, the first initialization subsystem to pause the first initialization subsystem operations until the second initialization operation has been performed.
