摘要： A system, method, and program product that optimizes system performance using performance monitors is presented. The system gathers thread performance data using performance monitors for threads running on either a first ISA processor or a second ISA processor. Multiple first processors and multiple second processors may be included in a single computer system. The first processors and second processors can each access data stored in a common shared memory. The gathered thread performance data is analyzed to determine whether the corresponding thread needs additional CPU time in order to optimize system performance. If additional CPU time is needed, the amount of CPU time that the thread receives is altered (increased) so that the thread receives the additional time when it is scheduled by the scheduler. In one embodiment, the increased CPU time is accomplished by altering a priority value that corresponds to the thread.

摘要： A boot code storage device configured with computer instructions for executing a boot code validity check in response to a boot event to facilitate local recovery of a computer such as a network computer. In response to the boot event, such as powering up a computer in which the boot code storage device is located, an image of a boot code is copied from a first storage medium to the boot code storage device if the validity check is negative. Remaining portions of the boot code, including a start up sequence, are executed if the validity check is positive. In one embodiment, the boot code validity check determines the presence or absence of a boot code jumper in a motherboard to which the boot code storage device is connected. In the preferred embodiment, the boot code storage device comprises a flash memory device, preferably including a plurality of sectors. In the preferred embodiment, the boot code validity check is part of a boot block of the boot code residing in a first sector of the flash memory device. The boot block and boot code reside in contiguous memory of the boot code storage device in one implementation. The first storage medium from which the boot code is copied, in one embodiment, is a compact flash card configured with an image of the boot code.

摘要： Grouping processors is presented. A processing unit (PU) initiates an application and identifies the application's requirements. The PU assigns one or more synergistic processing units (SPUs) and a memory space to the application in the form of a group. The application specifies whether the task requires shared memory or private memory. Shared memory is a memory space that is accessible by the SPUs and the PU. Private memory, however, is a memory space that is only accessible by the SPUs that are included in the group. When the application executes, the resources within the group are allocated to the application's execution thread. Each group has its own group properties, such as address space, policies (i.e. real-time, FIFO, run-to-completion, etc.) and priority (i.e. low or high). These group properties are used during thread execution to determine which groups take precedence over other tasks.
摘要翻译：介绍了分组处理器。处理单元（PU）启动应用程序并识别应用程序的要求。 PU以组的形式向应用分配一个或多个协同处理单元（SPU）和存储器空间。应用程序指定任务是否需要共享内存或专用内存。共享内存是可由SPU和PU访问的内存空间。然而，专用内存是只能由组中包含的SPU访问的内存空间。当应用程序执行时，组内的资源被分配给应用程序的执行线程。每个组都有自己的组属性，如地址空间，策略（即实时，FIFO，运行完成等）和优先级（即低或高）。在线程执行期间使用这些组属性来确定哪些组优先于其他任务。

摘要： A mechanism is provided for automatically waking a game client responsive to game events occurring within a persistent world online game. An event monitor monitors for events that occur in a persistent virtual world maintained by a game server. When a game event occurs that triggers an offline player rule, the player agent automatically activates execution of game client software. The player agent may also automatically log the player into the game server through the game client software. The player agent may generate and present a launcher dialog prompting the user whether to launch the game client software. Alternatively, the player agent may send a message to a messaging device of the offline player with instructions for launching the game client software remotely. Responsive to a message including a launch command, the player agent automatically launches the game client software on a game client device associated with the offline player.

摘要： A data processing system with bootcode support for communicating with a noncompliant external device has a motherboard, non-volatile memory connected to the motherboard, a volatile memory, processing resources, a communications port that utilizes a first communications protocol, and one or more buses interconnecting those components. Startup instructions obtained from the non-volatile memory load a device driver for the external device from the non-volatile memory into the volatile memory. However, unlike the communications port, the external device utilizes a second communications protocol. Diagnostic instructions then utilize the device driver to communicate with the external device via the communications port. In an illustrative embodiment, the communications port is a USB port, the external device is a serial terminal, the device driver is a serial terminal driver, and the diagnostic instructions utilize the serial terminal driver to communicate with the serial terminal via the USB port while no operating system is present in the volatile memory.

摘要： A method and system for booting a user station in a computer network in which a first set of operating system information retrieved from the user station is used to attempt to boot the user station from a remote server. If the boot attempt fails, an iterative process is initiated in which a next set of operating system information is retrieved and used to attempt to boot the user station until a boot attempt is successful. Upon successfully booting the user station, the operating system information is modified to prioritize the set of information that resulted in a successful boot such that the successful set of information is selected first during a subsequent boot attempt. The operating system information may include a directory path of the remote server in which the user station attempts to locate an operating system kernel.

摘要： A network computer including a motherboard powered by a power supply via a single power supply plane, a clock generator, a processor, a system memory, and a network interface. The network computer is configured to assume a low power state in response to a low power event and further configured to transition from the low power state to a full power state in response to a wake up event. The wake up event may comprise a LAN wake up in the form of a command issued by a server computer coupled to the network computer via a network. In one embodiment, the network computer lacks a disk based storage device, but includes local permanent storage comprising a compact flash card. Preferably, the network computer's clock generator is configured to produce a clock signal for the processor when the network computer is in the full power mode, and further configured to produce no clock signal in the low power mode. In one embodiment, the network computer further includes at least one peripheral device coupled to the processor via a peripheral bus, such as a PCI bus. In this embodiment, the computer is preferably configured to transition each peripheral device on the peripheral bus to a power management mode when the network computer enters low power mode. The wake up event may be a LAN wake up event in which a wake up signal is received via the network interface, or a “wake on ring” event in which the wake up signal is received via a modem connection to the computer.
