Workstream Overview

This workstream will be working on creating the RAS API specification.

Problem Statement

Having no industry standard for RAS management makes each HW vendor solution specific and resource intensive; while delaying RAS feature adoption.
When creating a specification to solve the standardization problem some major pain points need to be considered:

• Specification for common abstraction for RAS between software and hardware that is vendor agnostic as well as platform agnostic.
• Connectivity for RAS management should allow co-existence of In Band and Out of Band methods
• Logging mechanism must solve RAS unique problems (Error storms, error sampling, etc.)
• RAS feature abstraction should be generic enough to have open source drivers that can do a reasonable job at managing RAS;
  while leaving the opportunity for hardware vendor to differentiate and keep innovating.

Methodology

The current baseline is Revision 0.8. We plan to meet with companies that agree with this objective in order to draft a complete specification that solves the problem statement.
