Filed:

Oct 27, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/588976

Inventors:

Timothy N. McDonough - Houston TX, US
Dennis Baker - Houston TX, US
Phillip A. Leech - Houston TX, US

Assignee:

Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Houston TX

International Classification:

G06F 11/00

US Classification:

714 4, 718 1

Abstract:

In some embodiments, a computer network comprises a computing engine comprising a plurality of compute nodes and a load balancer coupled to the computing engine and coupled to a processor and a memory module, wherein the memory module comprises logic instructions which, when executed by the processor, configure the processor to receive, in the load balancer, a connection request from a first client computing device and a corresponding first persistence identifier for computing services provided by a first compute node managed by the load balancer, restore, on the first compute node, a stored computing session when the first persistence identifier is associated with the stored computing session, initiate, on the first compute node, a generic computing session when the first persistence identifier is not associated with any stored computing session, and assign the connection request from the first client computing device to the first compute node.

Bernard Desselle - Spring TX, US
Timothy McDonough - Tomball TX, US
Christoph Graham - Houston TX, US
William Jacobs - Houston TX, US
Louis Hobson - Tomball TX, US

International Classification:

G06F 9/44

US Classification:

717168000

Abstract:

In at least some embodiments, a computer system comprises a processor and a system memory coupled to the processor. The system memory stores a multi-platform management interface that, when executed, enables communication between the computer system and an updating computer. The computer system further comprises a Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) memory coupled to the processor, the BIOS memory stores a BIOS image and function calls compatible with the multi-platform management interface, wherein at least one of the function calls is selectively initiated to update the BIOS image based on communication with the updating computer via the multi-platform management interface.

Inventors:

- Houston TX, US
Timothy N. McDonough - Houston TX, US

International Classification:

G06F 21/56
G06F 13/40

Abstract:

In example implementations, an apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes an input sensor, a memory, a comparator, and a processor. The processor is communicatively coupled to the input sensor, the memory, and the comparator to control operation of the input sensor, the memory, and the comparator. The input sensor is to measure a bus signal of a computing device. The memory is to store the bus signal that is measured and a reference bus signal. The comparator is to compare the bus signal that is measured to the reference bus signal to detect a hardware security attack.
