An electronic apparatus and a booting method thereof are provided. The electronic apparatus includes an inputter configured to receive a power-on command, and a memory configured to store task-processing information of tasks for each booting mode. The electronic apparatus further includes a processor configured to, in response to the reception of the power-on command, determine a booting mode, based on use information of the electronic apparatus, determine a priority order and an affinity of each of the tasks for the determined booting mode, based on the task-processing information of the tasks for the determined booting mode, and process the tasks for the determined booting mode, based on the determined priority order and affinity of each of the tasks for the determined booting mode, to boot the electronic apparatus.

A SBSP writes a log into a spad in a log processor and the writing of the log from the spad to a serial port is performed by the log processor. When initialization of a main memory has been completed, the log processor temporarily writes the data read from the spad into a logmem and then clears the spad. Furthermore, when an output of the log performed by the log processor has been completed, the SBSP adds, in cooperation with the BIOS and the OS, the log processor and the logmem as the resources.

A data processing device according to one or more embodiment is disclosed. The data processing device may include a first power-on reset circuit that generates a first power-on reset signal depending on power source voltage, and a processor that activates based on a first power-on reset signal generated by the first power-on reset circuit and that runs software. The processor determines if the normal first power-on reset signal is used to cause the processor to activate and run the software.

An apparatus and a method of providing a Near Field Communication (NFC) function in a portable terminal are provided. The method includes recognizing a tag and reading an NFC message from the tag, storing second data in the memory when the NFC message includes first data of a predetermined record type, the second data corresponding to other data except for the first data among all data included in the NFC message, determining whether a particular application corresponding to the first data has been installed, and when the particular application has been installed, executing the particular application and providing the second data to the particular application so as to enable the particular application to execute a particular function by using the second data.

Methods, systems, and computer program products for configuring devices in a virtual environment are described. An example method includes determining a NUMA node assigned to a virtual machine. A guest of the virtual machine probes a root bus to detect a first device coupled to the root bus. The first device is assigned, based on the determined NUMA node, a first address range of the virtual machine. The guest is notified of an expander coupled to the first virtual root bus. The expander is probed to detect an additional root bus. The guest probes the additional root bus to detect a second device. The second device is assigned, based on the determined NUMA node, a second address range.

A network interface card configuration method and a resource management center are provided. According to the method, after obtaining a network interface card allocation request of an operating system that runs in a first CPU core, a resource management center selects, from M physical network interface cards and based on a network parameter of a network service required by the operating system, a target physical network interface card that conforms to the network parameter. Further, the resource management center selects at least one target hardware queue from each target physical network interface card and sends a command message to a network interface card controller. After receiving queue information of the target hardware queue from the network interface card controller, the resource management center send an instruction message to a CPU controller on a CPU board to instruct the CPU controller to construct a virtual network interface card.

A communication apparatus includes a Connectivity Manager function that performs data communication with a plurality of communication methods and selects an optimal communication method and a controller that receives a request for data communication and regulates the data communication when the request is received while cellular communication is on, even if a UID of the request is a UID of the Connectivity Manager function.

Accordingly the embodiments herein provide a method for managing scheduling of services during a boot-up process in an electronic device including a multi-core processor. The method includes determining a plurality of services initiated during the boot-up process of the electronic device. Further, the method includes registering system parameters associated with the electronic device for each one of the determined services. Further, the method includes determining whether the service is critical or non-critical for the boot-up process. Further, the method includes tagging a label data to each one of the determined services, wherein the label data represents whether the service is critical or non-critical. Further, the method includes clustering each of the services into one of an accelerating cluster and a decelerating cluster based on the registered system parameters associated with the electronic device and the tagged label data.

It is provided a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program that causes an information processing apparatus which includes a plurality of memory areas and executes a first process and a process for rebooting the information processing apparatus and a second process. The information processing apparatus executes initializing a memory area of the plurality of memory areas as a memory area used for executing the first process, storing first information in a memory area, the first information indicating whether each memory area of the plurality of memory areas is initialized, executing the first process by using the memory area initialized as the memory area used for executing the first process, and initializing according to the first information, during the process for rebooting the information processing apparatus, a memory area which is not initialized as a memory area used for executing the second process.
