應用於AMD多處理器架構之Hyper-Transport連結組態方法

在AMD OPTERON處理器的系統架構下，支援Two-way，Four-way和 Eight-way，在這一些架構中，如在一塊主機板上有支援兩個處理器，但是當使用者想要使用一個處理器在這個支援兩個處理器的主機板上時，此時會發生開不了機的狀況，此狀態同樣也會發生在四顆處理器和八顆處理器下，這樣的狀況底下造成使用者的困惑，也不符合經濟效益。在本篇論文裡，提出一個應用於AMD多處理器架構之Hyper-Transport連結組態方法。我們利用原有AMD AGESA處理器程式碼，來做處理器的 Hyper-Transport Link Table架構變化，就以現在原有的AMD AGESA Hyper-Transport Link Table都只有一個組態支援主機板設計，就以Two-way架構，當處理器的Hyper-Transport Link Table架構不符合時，BIOS開機時，會先把原有AMD AGESA Hyper- Transport Link表找出來初始化，如使用者只有使用一個處理器在這個Two-way架構，因為這個Two-way架構和原先存放在 BIOS Hyper-Transport Link Table表不一致，所以開機會失敗在處理器的 Hyper-Transport Link Table初始化，我們提出一個應用於AMD多處理器架構之 Hyper-Transport連結組態方法，來解決此問題，這樣可以增加架構上的靈活度，也可以降底處理器的成本。使用本篇應用於AMD多處理器架構之Hyper-Transport連結組態方法之後，實驗結果與數據，更可以證明此方式是可以在Two-way，Four-way和 Eight-way處理器架構使用，也可降低處理器成本，讓使用者可以安心操作。

AMD OPTERON processor in the system architecture, Two-way can support, the Four-way and Eight-way, Some in this framework, If a motherboard support two processors, But when users want to use one processor in the support two processors on the motherboard, This machine can not to opened in the state and power on fail, This also occurred in the same state of four processors and eight processors, The state of the users of such puzzles, Nor cost-effective. In this paper, I have proposed a Design a Configuration for Multiple Hyper-Transport Links in AMD Multiprocessor Architectures. We use the existing AMD AGESA processor code, Do processor Hyper-Transport structure changes, Now to the original AMD AGESA Hyper-Transport Link Table support group only a motherboard design, Take Two-way framework, When the Hyper-Transport processor architecture do not meet, BIOS boot will be the first of the original AMD AGESA Hyper-Transport Link Table find out initialization, If users only use one processor in the Two-way framework, Two-way because of this structure and the original kept in the BIOS HT Link Table inconsistency, Therefore, the failure to open the processor Hyper-Transport Link initialization, Therefore, we have proposed a Design a Configuration for Multiple Hyper-Transport Links in AMD Multiprocessor Architectures, To solve this problem, and this may increase the flexibility of the structure, the processor can also drop at the end of the cost. Experimental results show that the Design a Configuration for Multiple Hyper-Transport Links in AMD Multiprocessor Architectures can prove the processor architecture of two-way, the four-way and eight-way and reduce costs. Of the technique makes the user comfortable.
