Method and system for initializing application processors in a multi-processor system prior to the initialization of main memory

摘要

Methods and systems are disclosed for multi-processor initialization in an information handling system with two or more application processors (APs). One of the APs is configured to be a boot strap processor (BSP) that communicates with the other APs to initialize them prior to initialization of main memory. A basic input output system (BIOS) can be coupled to the APs and can be configured to hold BSP code and AP code used for initialization. APs are then discovered and initialized before the main memory of the system is initialized.
