摘要： Systems and methods for efficient memory corruption detection in a processor. A processor detects a first data structure is to be allocated in a physical memory. The physical memory may be a DRAM with a spare bank of memory reserved for a hardware failover mechanism. Either the processor or an operating system (OS) determines a first version number corresponding to the first data structure. During initialization of the first data structure, the first version number may be stored in a first location in the spare bank. The processor receives from the OS a pointer holding the first version number. When the processor executes memory access operations targeting the first data structure, the processor compares the first version number with a third version number stored in a location in the physical memory indicated by the memory access address. The processor may set a trap in response to determining a mismatch.

摘要： The disclosed embodiments provide a system that uses unused bits in a memory pointer. During operation, the system determines a set of address bits in a address space that will not be needed for addressing purposes during program operation. Subsequently, the system stores data associated with the memory pointer in this set of address bits. The system masks this set of address bits when using the memory pointer to access the memory address associated with the memory pointer. Storing additional data in unused pointer bits can reduce the number of memory accesses for a program and improve program performance and/or reliability.

摘要： Systems and methods for providing additional instructions for supporting efficient memory corruption detection in a processor. A physical memory may be a DRAM with a spare bank of memory reserved for a hardware failover mechanism. Version numbers associated with data structures allocated in the memory may be generated so that version numbers of adjacent data structures are different. A processor determines that a fetched instruction is a memory access instruction corresponding to a first data structure within the memory. For instructions that are not a version update instruction, the processor compares the first version number and second version number stored in a location in the memory indicated by the generated address and flags an error if there is a mismatch. For version update instructions, the processor performs a memory access operation on the second version number with no comparison check.

摘要： In one embodiment, a processor comprises a coherence trap unit and a trap logic coupled to the coherence trap unit. The coherence trap unit is also coupled to receive data accessed in response to the processor executing a memory operation. The coherence trap unit is configured to detect that the data matches a designated value indicating that a coherence trap is to be initiated to coherently perform the memory operation. The trap logic is configured to trap to a designated software routine responsive to the coherence trap unit detecting the designated value. In some embodiments, a cache tag in a cache may track whether or not the corresponding cache line has the designated value, and the cache tag may be used to trigger a trap in response to an access to the corresponding cache line.

摘要： A system and method for reducing shared memory write overhead in multiprocessor system. In one embodiment, a multiprocessing system implements a method comprising storing an indication of obtained store permission corresponding to a particular address in a store buffer. The indication may be, for example, the address of a cache line for which a write permission has been obtained. Obtaining the write permission may include locking and modifying an MTAG or other coherence state entry. The method further comprises determining whether the indication of obtained store permission corresponds to an address of a write operation to be performed. In response to the indication corresponding to the address of the write operation to be performed, the write operation is performed without invoking corresponding global coherence operations.

摘要： A method and processor supporting architected instructions for tracking and determining set membership, such as by implementing Bloom filters. The apparatus includes storage arrays (e.g., registers) and an execution core configured to store an indication that a given value is a member of a set, including by executing an architected instruction having an operand specifying the given value, wherein executing comprises hashing applying a hash function to the value to determine an index into one of the storage arrays and setting a bit of the storage array corresponding to the index. An architected query instruction is later executed to determine if a query value is not a member of the set, including by applying the hash function to the query value to determine an index into the storage array and determining whether a bit at the index of the storage array is set.

摘要： A multiprocessing system including multiple processing nodes employs various implementations of hierarchical back-off locks. A thread attempting to obtain a software lock may determine whether the lock is currently owned by a different node than the node in which the thread is executing. If the lock is not owned by a different node, the thread executes code to perform a fast spin operation. On the other hand, if the lock is owned by a different node, the thread executes code to perform a slow spin operation. In this manner, node locality may result wherein a thread that is executing within the same node in which a lock has already been obtained will be more likely to subsequently acquire the lock when it is freed in relation to other contending threads executing in other nodes.
摘要翻译：包括多个处理节点的多处理系统采用分级退回锁的各种实现。尝试获取软件锁的线程可以确定该锁当前是否与线程正在执行的节点不同的节点拥有。如果锁不是由不同节点拥有的，则线程执行代码以执行快速自旋操作。另一方面，如果锁由不同的节点拥有，则线程执行代码以执行缓慢的旋转操作。以这种方式，可能导致节点位置，其中在已经获得锁的同一节点内正在执行的线程相对于在其他节点中执行的其他竞争线程释放时，更可能随后获取锁定。
