METHOD, APPARATUS AND SYSTEM FOR MEMORY VALIDATION

摘要

Techniques and mechanisms for assuring that one or more addressable locations in memory of a computer platform are transitioned from potentially invalid state to known-valid state. In an embodiment, a memory validation agent separate from a processor of the computer platform performs memory validation writes in response to an indication of power state transition. In another embodiment, the memory validation agent determines information to be included in write commands which implement the memory validation, where the determining the information is decoupled from operation of the processor.
