ABSTRACT:
A system and method for a processor thread acting as a system service provider is presented. A computer system boots up and initiates a service thread. The service thread is responsible for service related tasks, such as ECC checks and hardware log error checks. The service provider invokes a second thread which is used as an operational thread. The operational thread loads an operating system, a kernel, and runs various applications. While the operational thread executes, the service thread monitors the operational thread for proper functionality as well as monitoring service events. When the service thread detects a problem with either one of the service events or the operational thread, the service thread may choose to store operational data corresponding to the operational thread and terminates the operational thread.
