METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND APPARATUSES FOR A MULTIPROCESSOR BOOT FLOW FOR A FASTER BOOT PROCESS

摘要

Systems, methods, and apparatuses relating to circuitry to implement a multiprocessor boot flow for a faster boot process are described. In one embodiment, a system includes a hardware processor comprising a processor core, a cache coupled to the hardware processor, storage for hardware initialization code, and a controller circuit to initialize a portion of the cache as memory for usage by the hardware initialization code before beginning execution of the hardware initialization code after a power on of the system.
