    摘要: Processor communication registers (PCRs) contained in each processor within a multiprocessor system and interconnected by a specialized bus provides enhanced processor communication. Each PCR stores identical processor communication information that is useful in pipelined or parallel multi-processing. Each processor has exclusive rights to store to a sector within each PCR and has continuous access to read the contents of its own PCR. Each processor updates its exclusive sector within all of the PCRs utilizing communication over the specialized bus, instantly allowing all of the other processors to see the change within the PCR data, and bypassing the cache subsystem. Efficiency is enhanced within the multiprocessor system by providing processor communications to be immediately transferred into all processors without momentarily restricting access to the information or forcing all the processors to be continually contending for the same cache line, and thereby overwhelming the interconnect and memory system with an endless stream of load, store and invalidate commands.

    摘要: A method and processor system that substantially enhances the store gathering capabilities of a store queue entry to enable gathering of a maximum number of proximate-in-time store operations before the entry is selected for dispatch. A counter is provided for each entry to track a time since a last gather to the entry. When a new gather does not occur before the counter reaches a threshold saturation point, the entry is signaled ready for dispatch. By defining an optimum threshold saturation point before the counter expires, sufficient time is provided for the entry to gather a proximate-in-time store operation. The entry may be deemed eligible for selection when certain conditions occur, including the entry becoming full, issuance of a barrier operation, and saturation of the counter. The use of the counter increases the ability of a store queue entry to complete gathering of enough store operations to update an entire cache line before that entry is dispatched to an RC machine.

    摘要: A data processing system includes a global promotion facility containing a plurality of promotion bit fields, an interconnect, and a plurality of processing units coupled to the global promotion facility and to the interconnect. A first processing unit includes an instruction sequencing unit, an execution unit that executes an acquisition instruction to acquire a particular promotion bit field within the global promotion facility, and a promotion awareness facility. In response to the first processing unit snooping a request by a second processing unit for the particular promotion bit field, the first processing unit records an association between the second processing unit and the particular promotion bit field in the global promotion facility. After the request and release of the particular promotion bit field by the first processing unit, the first processing unit checks the promotion awareness facility for an association for the particular promotion bit and responsive to the checking, pushes the particular promotion bit field to the second processing unit utilizing an unsolicited operation on the interconnect such that no additional request by the second processing unit is required.
