摘要： Techniques for preserving memory affinity in a computer system is disclosed. In response to a request for memory access to a page within a memory affinity domain, a determination is made if the request is initiated by a processor associated with the memory affinity domain. If the request is not initiated by a processor associated with the memory affinity domain, a determination is made if there is a page ID match with an entry within a page migration tracking module associated with the memory affinity domain. If there is no page ID match, an entry is selected within the page migration tracking module to be updated with a new page ID and a new memory affinity ID. If there is a page ID match, then another determination is made whether or not there is a memory affinity ID match with the entry with the page ID field match. If there is no memory affinity ID match, the entry is updated with a new memory affinity ID; and if there is a memory affinity ID match, an access counter of the entry is incremented.

摘要： A storage subsystem combining solid state drive (SSD) and hard disk drive (HDD) technologies provides low access latency and low complexity. Separate free lists are maintained for the SSD and the HDD and blocks of file system data are stored uniquely on either the SSD or the HDD. When a read access is made to the subsystem, if the data is present on the SSD, the data is returned, but if the block is present on the HDD, it is migrated to the SSD and the block on the HDD is returned to the HDD free list. On a write access, if the block is present in the either the SSD or HDD, the block is overwritten, but if the block is not present in the subsystem, the block is written to the HDD.

摘要： A method for minimizing cache conflict misses is disclosed. A translation table capable of facilitating the translation of a virtual address to a real address during a cache access is provided. The translation table includes multiple entries, and each entry of the translation table includes a page number field and a hash value field. A hash value is generated from a first group of bits within a virtual address, and the hash value is stored in the hash value field of an entry within the translation table. In response to a match on the entry within the translation table during a cache access, the hash value of the matched entry is retrieved from the translation table, and the hash value is concatenated with a second group of bits within the virtual address to form a set of indexing bits to index into a cache set.

摘要： A method, system and computer-usable medium are disclosed for managing transient instruction streams. Transient flags are defined in Branch-and-Link (BRL) instructions that are known to be infrequently executed. A bit is likewise set in a Special Purpose Register (SPR) of the hardware (e.g., a core) that is executing an instruction request thread. Subsequent fetches or prefetches in the request thread are treated as transient and are not written to lower-level caches. If an instruction is non-transient, and if a lower-level cache is non-inclusive of the L1 instruction cache, a fetch or prefetch miss that is obtained from memory may be written in both the L1 and the lower-level cache. If it is not inclusive, a cast-out from the L1 instruction cache may be written in the lower-level cache.

摘要： According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a system and technique for variable cache line size management is disclosed. The system includes a processor and a cache hierarchy, where the cache hierarchy includes a sectored upper level cache and an unsectored lower level cache, and wherein the upper level cache includes a plurality of sub-sectors, each sub-sector having a cache line size corresponding to a cache line size of the lower level cache. The system also includes logic executable to, responsive to determining that a cache line from the upper level cache is to be evicted to the lower level cache: identify referenced sub-sectors of the cache line to be evicted; invalidate unreferenced sub-sectors of the cache line to be evicted; and store the referenced sub-sectors in the lower level cache.

摘要： A method, system and computer-usable medium are disclosed for managing prefetch streams in a virtual machine environment. Compiled application code in a first core, which comprises a Special Purpose Register (SPR) and a plurality of first prefetch engines, initiates a prefetch stream request. If the prefetch stream request cannot be initiated due to unavailability of a first prefetch engine, then an indicator bit indicating a Prefetch Stream Dispatch Fault is set in the SPR, causing a Hypervisor to interrupt the execution of the prefetch stream request. The Hypervisor then calls its associated operating system (OS), which determines prefetch engine availability for a second core comprising a plurality of second prefetch engines. If a second prefetch engine is available, then the OS migrates the prefetch stream request from the first core to the second core, where it is initiated on an available second prefetch engine.

摘要： Some embodiments of the inventive subject matter are directed to determining that a memory access request results in a cache miss and determining an amount of cache resources used to service cache misses within a past period in response to determining that the memory access request results in the cache miss. Some embodiments are further directed to determining that servicing the memory access request would increase the amount of cache resources used to service cache misses within the past period to exceed a threshold. In some embodiments, the threshold corresponds to reservation of a given amount of cache resources for potential cache hits. Some embodiments are further directed to rejecting the memory access request in response to the determining that servicing the memory access request would increase the amount of cache resources used to service cache misses within the past period to exceed the threshold.
