Virtualization Technology (Intel VT-x)
Intel
®
Virtualization Technology (Intel VT) makes a single system appear as
multiple independent systems to software. This allows for multiple,
independent operating systems to be running simultaneously on a single
system. Intel VT comprises technology components to support virtualization
of platforms based on Intel architecture microprocessors and chipsets. The
first revision of this technology (Intel VT-x) added hardware support in the
processor to improve the virtualization performance and robustness.

Matrix Storage Technology
Intel
®
Matr
ix Storage Technology is supported by Intel’s
8 Series QM87 Lynx
Point PCH, which provides:
•
AHCI functionality,
•
RAID 0/1/5/10 Support, and
•
Intel® Smart Response Technology.
3.14 Thermal Management
The Intel
®
Haswell processor contains a digital thermal sensor for each
execution core and a thermal monitor to measure the processor
’s
temperature. A thermal sensor connected to the NCT6776 Super-I/O is used
to measure the module‘s temperature.
The integrated graphics and memory controller (GMC) monitors its
temperature and initiates thermal management with an internal digital
thermal sensor. Memory loading or high GMC temperatures will result in
bandwidth throttling.
The temperature of the Intel® Lynx Point PCH is monitored by two thermal
sensors located on the PCH. The system will be shut down by the PCH when
its thermal limit is reached.
3.14.1 Thermal Monitoring
The BIOS setup utility displays the processor and board temperatures.
For
further information on how to check these temperatures, refer to
The APTIO
Haswell Core BIOS Manual For Acromag Products.
