Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for tracking system resource utilization of guest virtual machines (VMs). Counters may be maintained to track resource utilization of different system resources by different guest VMs executing on the system. When a guest VM initiates execution, stored values may be loaded into the resource utilization counters. While the guest VM executes, the counters may track the resource utilization of the guest VM. When the guest VM terminates execution, the counter values may be written to a virtual machine control block (VMCB) corresponding to the guest VM. Scaling factors may be applied to the counter values to normalize the values prior to writing the values to the VMCB. A cloud computing environment may utilize the tracking mechanisms to guarantee resource utilization levels in accordance with users' service level agreements.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for dynamically controlling a cache size is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes changing an operating point of a processor from a first operating point to a second operating point, and selectively removing power from one or more ways of a cache memory responsive to changing the operating point. The method further includes processing one or more instructions in the processor subsequent to removing power from the one or more ways of the cache memory, wherein said processing includes accessing one or more ways of the cache memory from which power was not removed.

Abstract: A host system-on-chip (SoC) includes a network on chip (NoC) for transmitting local traffic between internal blocks of the SoC, an external processor link for receiving messages at the host SoC from an untrusted device. A traffic controller in the host SoC that is coupled with the external processor link monitors an amount of external traffic from the untrusted device over a set of one or more time intervals, detects a violation of a traffic policy based on the amount of external traffic, and in response to detecting the violation, reduces traffic in the NoC resulting from the messages from the untrusted device.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for performance control of processing nodes is disclosed. In one embodiment, a system includes a processing node and a power management unit configured to, for each of a plurality of time intervals, monitor an activity level of the processing node, cause the processing node to operate at a high operating point during one successive time interval if the activity level in the given interval is greater than a high activity threshold, operate at a low operating point at least one successive time interval if the activity level is less than a low activity threshold, or enable operating system software to cause the processing node to operate at one of one or more predefined intermediate operating points of the plurality of operating points if the activity level is less than the high activity threshold and greater than the low activity threshold.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for dynamically adjusting power limits for processing nodes and other components, such as peripheral interfaces, is disclosed. The apparatus includes multiple processing nodes and other components, and further includes a power management unit configured to set a first frequency limit for at least one of the processing nodes responsive to receiving an indication of a first detected temperature greater than a first temperature threshold. Initial power limits are set below guard-band power limits for components that do not have reliable reporting of power consumption or for cost or power saving reasons. The amount of throttling of processing nodes is used to adjust the power limits for the processing nodes and these components.

Abstract: A link controller includes a Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) physical layer circuit for coupling to a communication link and providing a data path over the communication link, a first data link layer controller which operates according to a PCIe protocol, and a second data link layer controller which operates according to a non-PCIe protocol. A multiplexer-demultiplexer selectively connects both data link layer controllers to the PCIe physical layer circuit. A protocol translation circuit is coupled between the multiplexer-demultiplexer and the second data link layer controller, the protocol translation circuit receiving traffic data from the second data link layer controller in a non-PCIe format, encapsulating the non-PCIe format in a PCIe format, and passing traffic data to the multiplexer-demultiplexer circuit.

Abstract: A processing system includes a first set of one or more processing units including a first processing unit, a second set of one or more processing units including a second processing unit, and a memory having an address space shared by the first and second sets. The processing system further includes a distributed coherence directory subsystem having a first coherence directory to support a first subset of one or more address regions of the address space and a second coherence directory to support a second subset of one or more address regions of the address space. In some implementations, the first coherence directory is implemented in the system so as to have a lower access latency for the first set, whereas the second coherence directory is implemented in the system so as to have a lower access latency for the second set.
