摘要： An apparatus and program product utilize a multithreaded processor having at least one hardware thread among a plurality of hardware threads that is capable of being selectively activated and deactivated responsive to a control circuit. The control circuit additionally provides the capability of controlling how an inactive thread can be activated after the thread has been deactivated, e.g., by enabling or disabling reactivation in response to an interrupt.

摘要： A logically-partitioned computer, program product and method utilize a flexible and adaptable communication interface between a partition and a partition manager, which permits optimal handling of partition management operations such as state change operations and the like over a wide variety of circumstances. In particular, a partition is permitted to indicate, in connection with a request to perform a partition management operation, whether an asynchronous notification should be generated or suppressed in association with the performance of the partition management operation by a partition manager. As a result, asynchronous notifications are selectively generated in association with the performance of partition management operations based upon indications in the requests made by partitions for such operations.

摘要： A partition migration mechanism migrates a logical partition executing an operating system and resumes the logical partition before all resources in the logical partition have been migrated. When a partition is being migrated, a call checkpoint mechanism creates checkpoints of the state of the operating system when the partition manager is called. Before performing the call to the partition manager, a check is made to determine if all resources required by the call are available. If so, the partition manager call is executed. If all resources required by the call are not available, a resource fault is indicated, which causes the operating system state from the last checkpoint to be restored and a corresponding virtual CPU to be preempted until the resource that caused the fault becomes available. Exceptions that do not require the missing resource may be performed while the virtual CPU awaits the resource to become available.
摘要翻译：在迁移逻辑分区中的所有资源之前，分区迁移机制将迁移执行操作系统的逻辑分区并恢复逻辑分区。当分区正在迁移时，调用检查点机制会在调用分区管理器时创建操作系统状态的检查点。在执行对分区管理器的呼叫之前，进行检查以确定呼叫所需的所有资源是否可用。如果是这样，则执行分区管理器调用。如果呼叫所需的所有资源都不可用，则会指示资源故障，从而导致最后一个检查点的操作系统状态恢复，相应的虚拟CPU将被抢占，直到导致故障的资源变为可用。可以在虚拟CPU等待资源变为可用时执行不需要缺少资源的异常。

摘要： A method, system, and article of manufacture for processing virtual interrupts in a logically partitioned system are provided. An intelligent virtual global interrupt queue (virtual GIQ) that may be associated with a plurality of virtual processors running in a logical partition may be utilized. Upon receiving a virtual interrupt, the virtual GIQ may examine the operating states of the associated virtual processors. In an effort to ensure the virtual interrupt is processed as quickly as possible, the virtual GIQ may present the virtual interrupt to one of the associated virtual processors determined to be in an operating state best suited for processing the virtual interrupt.

摘要： A method, apparatus, and computer program product are disclosed in a data processing system for providing a virtualized time base in a logically partitioned data processing system. A time base is determined for each one of multiple processor cores. The time base is used to indicate a current time to one of the processor cores for which the time base is determined. The time bases are synchronized together for the processor cores such that each one of the processor cores includes its own copy of a synchronized time base. For one of the processor cores, a virtualized time base is generated that is different from the synchronized time base but that remains synchronized with at least a portion of the synchronized time base. The processor core utilizes the virtualized time base instead of the synchronized time base for indicating the current time to the processor core. The synchronized time bases and the portion of the virtualized time base remaining in synchronization together.

摘要： An apparatus, program product and method for facilitating logical partition migrations between computers by determining if the firmware of the computers is compatible. A hypervisor of a source logical partition may transfer a token and compatibility table indicative of firmware running on the source computer. A hypervisor on the system of the target logical partition may compare the firmware indicated by the token with a token and/or compatibility table listing firmware versions compatible with the target computer. Conversely, a token of the target computer may be compared to a compatibility table associated with firmware that is compatible with the source computer. In either instance, a match may result in the migration of the logical partition. Alternatively, an absence of a match may result in the migration being prohibited.

摘要： Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture for replacement of a failing processor of a multi-processor system running at least one operating system are provided. In contrast to the prior art, the replacement may be performed by system firmware without intervention by the operating system (i.e., the replacement may be transparent to the operating system). For some embodiments, the multi-processor system may be logically partitioned and the methods may be utilized to replace one or more shared or dedicated processors assigned to a logical partition, transparent to an operating system running on the partition.

摘要： A method, apparatus, system, and signal-bearing medium that in an embodiment set a resource indicator to indicate that a processor is using a resource in a logically-partitioned electronic device, determine whether a current partition in the logically-partitioned electronic device owns the resource, and clear the resource indicator after the processor is done using the resource. When a partition gives up ownership of a resource, a resource ownership state is changed to indicate that the partition does not own a resource, and the partition waits to continue executing until other processors have cleared their respective resource indicators. In an embodiment, the resource indicator is in a cache line that is local to the processor, which allows resources to be dynamically allocated with improved performance.
摘要翻译：一种方法，装置，系统和信号承载介质，其在一个实施例中设置资源指示符以指示处理器正在逻辑分区的电子设备中使用资源，确定逻辑分区的电子设备中的当前分区是否拥有资源，并在处理器完成资源后清除资源指示符。当分区放弃资源的所有权时，将更改资源所有权状态以指示分区不拥有资源，并且分区等待继续执行，直到其他处理器清除其各自的资源指示符。在一个实施例中，资源指示符位于处理器本地的高速缓存行中，这允许以改进的性能动态分配资源。
