摘要： A system and method for servicing translation lookaside buffer (TLB) misses may manage separate input and output pipelines within a memory management unit. A pending request queue (PRQ) in the input pipeline may include an instruction-related portion storing entries for instruction TLB (ITLB) misses and a data-related portion storing entries for potential or actual data TLB (DTLB) misses. A DTLB PRQ entry may be allocated to each load/store instruction selected from the pick queue. The system may select an ITLB- or DTLB-related entry for servicing dependent on prior PRQ entry selection(s). A corresponding entry may be held in a translation table entry return queue (TTERQ) in the output pipeline until a matching address translation is received from system memory. PRQ and/or TTERQ entries may be deallocated when a corresponding TLB miss is serviced. PRQ and/or TTERQ entries associated with a thread may be deallocated in response to a thread flush.

摘要： A system and method for invalidating obsolete virtual/real address to physical address translations may employ translation lookaside buffers to cache translations. TLB entries may be invalidated in response to changes in the virtual memory space, and thus may need to be demapped. A non-cacheable unit (NCU) residing on a processor may be configured to receive and manage a global TLB demap request from a thread executing on a core residing on the processor. The NCU may send the request to local cores and/or to NCUs of external processors in a multiprocessor system using a hardware instruction to broadcast to all cores and/or processors or to multicast to designated cores and/or processors. The NCU may track completion of the demap operation across the cores and/or processors using one or more counters, and may send an acknowledgement to the initiator of the demap request when the global demap request has been satisfied.

摘要： A method and mechanism for managing access to a plurality of registers in a processing device are contemplated. A processing device includes multiple nodes coupled to a ring bus, each of which include one or more registers which may be accessed by processes executing within the device. Also coupled to the ring bus is a ring control unit which is configured to initiate transactions targeted to nodes on the ring bus. Each of the nodes are configured receive and process bus transaction with a fixed latency whether or not the first transaction is targeted to the receiving node. The ring control unit is configured to periodically convey idle transactions on the ring bus in order to allow nodes responding to indeterminate transactions to gain access to the bus.

摘要： In one embodiment, a system comprises one or more registers configured to store a plurality of values that identify a virtual address space (collectively a tag), a translation lookaside buffer (TLB), and a control unit coupled to the TLB and the one or more registers. The control unit is configured to detect whether or not the tag has changed and in response to a change in the tag, map the changed tag to an identifier having fewer bits than the total number of bits in the tag, and provide the current identifier to the TLB. The TLB is configured to detect a hit/miss in response to the identifier. A similar method is also contemplated.

摘要： A method and mechanism for monitoring events in a processing system. A performance monitoring mechanism includes is configured to store a count of events in an event counter. Periodically, the count stored in the event counter is updated to a new count. If the new count equals a predetermined value, an indication that the count equals the predetermined value is conveyed. If the new count does not equal the predetermined value, but is within a given epsilon of the predetermined value and the occurrence of a corresponding event is detected, an indication that the count equals the predetermined value is conveyed. The mechanism is further configured to suppress event counts which correspond to mis-speculations.

摘要： A system and method for precisely identifying an instruction causing a performance-related event is disclosed. The instruction may be detected while in a pipeline stage of a microprocessor preceding a writeback stage and the microprocessor's architectural state may not be updated until after information identifying the instruction is captured. The instruction may be flushed from the pipeline, along with other instructions from the same thread. A hardware trap may be taken when the instruction is detected and/or when an event counter overflows or is within a given range of overflowing. A software trap handler may capture and/or log information identifying the instruction, such as one or more extended address elements, before returning control and initiating a retry of the instruction. The captured and/or logged information may be stored in an event space database usable by a data space profiler to identify performance bottlenecks in the application containing the instruction.
摘要翻译：公开了一种用于精确识别引起性能相关事件的指令的系统和方法。在回写阶段之前的微处理器的流水线级中可以检测该指令，并且直到在识别出指令的信息被捕获之后才能更新微处理器的架构状态。可以从管道中刷新指令，以及来自同一线程的其他指令。当检测到指令和/或当事件计数器溢出或处于给定的溢出范围内时，可能会采取硬件陷阱。软件陷阱处理程序可以在返回控制和重新启动指令之前捕获和/或记录标识指令的信息，例如一个或多个扩展地址元素。捕获的和/或记录的信息可以存储在可由数据空间分析器使用的事件空间数据库中，以识别包含该指令的应用中的性能瓶颈。
