    摘要： A method that optimizes system performance using performance monitors is presented. The method gathers thread performance data using performance monitors for threads running on either a first ISA processor or a second ISA processor. Multiple first processors and multiple second processors may be included in a single computer system. The first processors and second processors can each access data stored in a common shared memory. The gathered thread performance data is analyzed to determine whether the corresponding thread needs additional CPU time in order to optimize system performance. If additional CPU time is needed, the amount of CPU time that the thread receives is altered (increased) so that the thread receives the additional time when it is scheduled by the scheduler. In one embodiment, the increased CPU time is accomplished by altering a priority value that corresponds to the thread.

    摘要： Grouping processors is presented. A processing unit (PU) initiates an application and identifies the application's requirements. The PU assigns one or more synergistic processing units (SPUs) and a memory space to the application in the form of a group. The application specifies whether the task requires shared memory or private memory. Shared memory is a memory space that is accessible by the SPUs and the PU. Private memory, however, is a memory space that is only accessible by the SPUs that are included in the group. When the application executes, the resources within the group are allocated to the application's execution thread. Each group has its own group properties, such as address space, policies (i.e. real-time, FIFO, run-to-completion, etc.) and priority (i.e. low or high). These group properties are used during thread execution to determine which groups take precedence over other tasks.

    摘要： A method for an asymmetric heterogeneous multi-threaded operating system is presented. A processing unit (PU) provides a trusted mode environment in which an operating system executes. A heterogeneous processor environment includes a synergistic processing unit (SPU) that does not provide trusted mode capabilities. The PU operating system uses two separate and distinct schedulers which are a PU scheduler and an SPU scheduler to schedule tasks on a PU and an SPU, respectively. In one embodiment, the heterogeneous processor environment includes a plurality of SPUs. In this embodiment, the SPU scheduler may use a single SPU run queue to schedule tasks for the plurality of SPUs or, the SPU scheduler may use a plurality of run queues to schedule SPU tasks whereby each of the run queues correspond to a particular SPU.

    摘要： A processing unit (PU) retrieves a file from system memory and loads it into its internal memory. The PU extracts a processor type from the file's header which identifies whether the file should execute on the PU or a synergistic processing unit (SPU). If an SPU should execute the file, the PU DMA's the file to the SPU for execution. In one embodiment, the file is a combined file which includes both PU and SPU code. In this embodiment, the PU identifies one or more section headers included in the file which indicates embedded SPU code within the combined file. In this embodiment, the PU extracts the SPU code from the combined file and DMA's the extracted code to an SPU for execution.

    摘要： A system and method for virtualization of processor resources is presented. A thread is created on a processor and the processor's local memory is mapped into an effective address space. In doing so, the processor's local memory is accessible by other processors, regardless of whether the processor is running. Additional threads create additional local memory mappings into the effective address space. The effective address space corresponds to either a physical local memory or a “soft” copy area. When the processor is running, a different processor may access data that is located in the first processor's local memory from the processor's local storage area. When the processor is not running, a softcopy of the processor's local memory is stored in a memory location (i.e. locked cache memory, pinned system memory, virtual memory, etc.) for other processors to continue accessing.

    摘要翻译： 提出了一种用于处理器资源虚拟化的系统和方法。 在处理器上创建线程，并将处理器的本地内存映射到有效的地址空间。 这样做，处理器的本地内存可以由其他处理器访问，无论处理器是否正在运行。 附加线程会在有效地址空间中创建额外的本地内存映射。 有效地址空间对应于物理本地存储器或“软”复制区域。 当处理器运行时，不同的处理器可以从处理器的本地存储区域访问位于第一处理器的本地存储器中的数据。 当处理器未运行时，处理器的本地存储器的软拷贝存储在其他处理器的存储器位置（即锁定的高速缓冲存储器，固定的系统存储器，虚拟存储器等）中以继续访问。

    摘要： A system and method for a processor thread acting as a system service provider is presented. A computer system boots up and initiates a service thread. The service thread is responsible for service related tasks, such as ECC checks and hardware log error checks. The service provider invokes a second thread which is used as an operational thread. The operational thread loads an operating system, a kernel, and runs various applications. While the operational thread executes, the service thread monitors the operational thread for proper functionality as well as monitoring service events. When the service thread detects a problem with either one of the service events or the operational thread, the service thread may choose to store operational data corresponding to the operational thread and terminates the operational thread.

    摘要： Asynchronously traversing a disjoint linked data structure is presented. A synergistic processing unit (SPU) includes a handler that works in conjunction with a memory flow controller (MFC) to traverse a disjoint linked data structure. The handler compares a search value with a node value, and provides the MFC with an effective address of the next node to traverse based upon the comparison. In turn, the MFC retrieves the corresponding node data from system memory and stores the node data in the SPU's local storage area. The MFC stalls processing and sends an asynchronous event interrupt to the SPU which, as a result, instructs the handler to retrieve and compare the latest node data in the local storage area with the search value. The traversal continues until the handler matches the search value with a node value or until the handler determines a failed search.

    摘要翻译： 呈现异步遍历不相交的数据结构。 协同处理单元（SPU）包括与存储器流控制器（MFC）一起工作的处理程序，以遍历不相交的数据结构。 处理程序将搜索值与节点值进行比较，并根据比较为MFC提供下一个节点的有效地址进行遍历。 反过来，MFC从系统存储器检索相应的节点数据，并将节点数据存储在SPU的本地存储区域中。 MFC停止处理并向SPU发送异步事件中断，结果指示处理程序检索和比较本地存储区域中的最新节点数据与搜索值。 遍历继续，直到处理程序与搜索值与节点值匹配，或者直到处理程序确定失败的搜索。
