Method, system, and computer-readable medium for updating memory devices in a multi-processor computer system

摘要

A method, system and computer-readable medium are provided for updating memory devices in a multi-processor computer system. A computer program is launched on a first processor in the multi-processor computer system. The program contains update code for updating memory devices in the computer system. Each processor in the computer system is associated with a memory device. Processors only have access to the memory devices with which they are associated. The program launched on the first processor determines the identity of additional processors associated with memory devices inaccessible by the first processor. The first processor then sends the code contained in the program to the identified additional processors. Finally, the update code is executed on the first processor and the identified additional processors to update the memory devices associated with each processor in the multi-processor computer system. The memory devices may be flash memory devices for storing a BIOS for the multi-processor computer system.
