摘要： A cache system improves performance by limiting the number of dirty entries in a cache. The cache system may be further improve performance by limiting the number of dirty entries in a cache that might be subject to a cache-to-cache transfer. In a first example, a cache system counts the total number of dirty entries in the cache and preemptively evicts at least one dirty entry when the count exceeds a predetermined threshold. In a variation, a cache system counts dirty cache entries that result from a cache-to-cache transfer, and evicts at least one dirty entry that results from a cache-to-cache transfer when the number exceeds a predetermined threshold. For either system, the predetermined threshold may be dynamically varied to determine a value that optimizes performance.
摘要翻译：缓存系统通过限制高速缓存中脏条目的数量来提高性能。缓存系统可以通过限制高速缓存中可能受到高速缓存到高速缓存传输的脏条目的数量来进一步提高性能。在第一示例中，高速缓存系统对高速缓存中的脏条目的总数进行计数，并且当计数超过预定阈值时，预先将至少一个脏条目排除。在一个变型中，缓存系统计算由高速缓存到高速缓存传输所产生的脏缓存条目，并且当数量超过预定阈值时，将至少一个由高速缓存到高速缓存传输产生的脏条目驱逐出去。对于任一系统，可以动态地改变预定阈值以确定优化性能的值。

摘要： Provided is a method for uniquely masking addressing to the cache memory for each user, thereby reducing risk of a timing attack by one user on another user. The method comprises assigning a first mask value to the first user and a second mask value to the second user. The mask values are unique to one another. While executing a first instruction on behalf of the first user, the method comprises applying the first mask value to set selection bits in a memory address accessed by the first instruction. While executing a second instruction on behalf of the second user, the method comprises applying the second mask value to set selection bits in the memory address accessed by the second instruction. The result offers an additional level of security between users as well as reducing the occurrence of threads or processes contending for the same memory address.
摘要翻译：提供了一种用于唯一地掩蔽每个用户对高速缓冲存储器的寻址的方法，从而降低一个用户对另一用户的定时攻击的风险。该方法包括向第一用户分配第一掩码值，向第二用户分配第二掩码值。掩码值彼此独特。当代表第一用户执行第一指令时，该方法包括应用第一掩码值以设置由第一指令访问的存储器地址中的选择位。当代表第二用户执行第二指令时，该方法包括应用第二掩码值以设置由第二指令访问的存储器地址中的选择位。该结果提供了用户之间的额外级别的安全性，并减少了针对相同内存地址的线程或进程的发生。

摘要： In accordance with the illustrated preferred embodiment, a system and technique are presented which enable several independent software tasks, referred to as partitions, to be stored in memory and concurrently utilized without interfering with each other's operation. This system and technique also enable physical memory to be dynamically mapped so that various dynamic structures, including partitions, can be dynamically allocated memory as needed without interfering with each other. Some interaction between partitions is also made available so that results generated by operation of one of the partitions can be utilized by other of the partitions.

摘要： A multiprocessor computer system continues operation after the failure of a cooling device coupled to a central processing unit (CPU). In accordance with the present invention, an impending failure of a cooling device is detected, and all user and operating system processes are moved from the affected CPU coupled to the failing cooling device to one or more other CPUs. The system state is then altered so that interrupts are no longer received and processed by the affected CPU, and all memory caches associated with the affected CPU are flushed back to main memory to ensure cache coherency. At this point, the CPU is either powered-down, or placed in a low-power mode that allows the CPU to operate without the cooling device, while the processes that were removed from the suspended CPU continue executing on other CPUs. After the cooling device has been replaced and is operating normally, the CPU can be powered back up, interrupts can be enabled, and the CPU can once again execute user and operating system processes.

摘要： An obstruction is removed from a computer system cooling fan by manipulating fan rotation. When a fan obstruction is detected, the fan is stopped. If the obstruction is caused by an object that was drawn toward the fan intake, such as a sheet of paper, this operation may clear the obstruction. The fan may also be reversed to attempt to blow the obstruction clear of the fan. Thereafter, the fan is returned to normal operation and is monitored to determine whether the obstruction was removed. If the fan is still obstructed, these steps can be repeated. If the attempts to clear the obstruction are unsuccessful, then the computer system operator or management software can be signaled.

摘要： A system comprises a plurality of cache agents, a computing entity coupled to the cache agents, and a programmable mask accessible to the computing entity. The programmable mask is indicative of, for at least one memory address, those cache agents that can receive a snoop request associated with a memory address. Based on the mask, the computing entity transmits snoop requests, associated with the memory address, to only those cache agents identified by the mask as cache agents that can receive a snoop request associated with the memory address.

摘要： A cache memory system can determine that an entry is stale if the entry has not been accessed or modified for a predetermined time. If an entry is stale, the entry may be preemptively evicted. The predetermined time is made dynamically variable. A computer system can adjust the time to optimize a measure of performance. In a specific example, evicted lines are temporarily stored in an eviction queue. The time is adjusted to be as short as possible without substantially increasing the number of lines that must be recalled from the eviction queue.
