Optimizing preboot telemetry efficiency
An information handling system may include a processor and a basic input/output system configured to identify, test, and/or initialize information handling resources of the information handling system, and further configured to predict a volume of incoming telemetry data collected by a preboot driver of the basic input/output system and based on the volume predicted, manage storage of the telemetry data among memory associated with the basic input/output system.
1. An information handling system comprising:
a processor; and
a basic input/output system configured to identify, test, and/or initialize information handling resources of the information handling system, and further configured to:
predict a volume of incoming telemetry data collected by a preboot driver of the basic input/output system;
based on the volume predicted, manage storage of the telemetry data among memory associated with the basic input/output system;
predict a consumption of the telemetry data by an operating system of the information handling system; and
selectively enable and disable communication of the telemetry data to the operating system based on the consumption predicted.
2. The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the memory associated with the basic input/output system includes persistent memory, volatile memory, and a storage partition.
3. The information handling system of claim 2 , wherein managing storage of the telemetry data among memory associated with the basic input/output system includes managing offload of telemetry data.
4. The information handling system of claim 1 , the basic input/output system further configured to:
determine a consumption of the telemetry data by an operating system of the information handling system; and
based on the volume predicted and the consumption, manage storage of the telemetry data among the memory associated with the basic input/output system.
5. A method comprising, in a basic input/output system configured to identify, test, and/or initialize information handling resources of the information handling system:
predicting a volume of incoming telemetry data collected by a preboot driver of the basic input/output system; and
based on the volume predicted, managing storage of the telemetry data among memory associated with the basic input/output system;
predicting a consumption of the telemetry data by an operating system of the information handling system; and
selectively enabling and disabling communication of the telemetry data to the operating system based on the consumption predicted.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the memory associated with the basic input/output system includes persistent memory, volatile memory, and a storage partition.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein managing storage of the telemetry data among memory associated with the basic input/output system includes managing offload of telemetry data.
8. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:
determining a consumption of the telemetry data by an operating system of the information handling system; and
based on the volume predicted and the consumption, managing storage of the telemetry data among the memory associated with the basic input/output system.
9. An article of manufacture comprising:
a non-transitory computer-readable medium; and
computer-executable instructions carried on the non-transitory computer-readable medium, the instructions readable by a processing device, the instructions, when read and executed, for causing the processing device to, in a basic input/output system configured to identify, test, and/or initialize information handling resources of an information handling system;
predict a volume of incoming telemetry data collected by a preboot driver of the basic input/output system; and
based on the volume predicted, manage storage of the telemetry data among memory associated with the basic input/output system;
predict a consumption of the telemetry data by an operating system of the information handling system; and
selectively enable and disable communication of the telemetry data to the operating system based on the consumption predicted.
10. The article of claim 9 , wherein the memory associated with the basic input/output system includes persistent memory, volatile memory, and a storage partition.
11. The article of claim 10 , wherein managing storage of the telemetry data among memory associated with the basic input/output system includes managing offload of telemetry data.
12. The article of claim 9 , the instructions for further causing the processing device to:
determine a consumption of the telemetry data by an operating system of the information handling system; and
based on the volume predicted and the consumption, manage storage of the telemetry data among the memory associated with the basic input/output system.
