Abstract:
Preventing request conflicts within microprocessors and/or computer systems. More particularly, embodiments of the invention relate to a technique to manage request conflicts within a processor and/or computer system in which a number of accesses may be made to a particular cache or group of caches shared amongst a set of cores or processors or agents.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses relating to hardware processors with multiple interconnected dies are described. In one embodiment, a hardware processor includes a plurality of physically separate dies, and an interconnect to electrically couple the plurality of physically separate dies together. In another embodiment, a method to create a hardware processor includes providing a plurality of physically separate dies, and electrically coupling the plurality of physically separate dies together with an interconnect.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus to monitor architecture events is disclosed. The architecture events are linked together via a push bus mechanism with each architectural event having a designated time slot. There is at least one branch of the push bus in each core. Each branch of the push bus may monitor one core with all the architectural events. All the data collected from the events by the push bus is then sent to a power control unit.
