    摘要: In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method for associating a first identifier with a first pointer that points to a first object in a memory. The first identifier may correspond to a value in a segment of a map array for a location of the first object in the memory. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    摘要: Technologies for managing immutable data include a data storage device having a data storage controller and memory for storing data. The data storage controller may receive requests from a host of the data storage device to mark data stored in the memory as immutable. In response to the request, the data storage controller is configured to set an immutable flag associated with the identified data to mark the identified data as immutable. The immutable flag, when set, provides an indication that the associated data is unmodifiable. In some embodiments, the data storage device may also compact and/or move the immutable data to an immutable memory region of the memory. Technologies to mark the immutable data as mutable, write to the immutable data, and delete or trim the immutable data are also disclosed.

    摘要: A processor core including a hardware decode unit to decode vector instructions for decompressing a run length encoded (RLE) set of source data elements and an execution unit to execute the decoded instructions. The execution unit generates a first mask by comparing set of source data elements with a set of zeros and then counts the trailing zeros in the mask. A second mask is made based on the count of trailing zeros. The execution unit then copies the set of source data elements to a buffer using the second mask and then reads the number of RLE zeros from the set of source data elements. The buffer is shifted and copied to a result and the set of source data elements is shifted to the right. If more valid data elements are in the set of source data elements this is repeated until all valid data is processed.

    摘要: A processor core that includes a hardware decode unit and an execution engine unit. The hardware decode unit to decode a vector frequency expand instruction, wherein the vector frequency compress instruction includes a source operand and a destination operand, wherein the source operand specifies a source vector register that includes one or more pairs of a value and run length that are to be expanded into a run of that value based on the run length. The execution engine unit to execute the decoded vector frequency expand instruction which causes, a set of one or more source data elements in the source vector register to be expanded into a set of destination data elements comprising more elements than the set of source data elements and including at least one run of identical values which were run length encoded in the source vector register.

    摘要: Technologies for region-based cache management includes network computing device. The network computing device is configured to divide an allocated portion main memory of the network computing device into a plurality of memory regions, each memory region having a cache block that includes a plurality of cache lines of a cache memory of the processor. The network computing device is further configured to determine whether a cache line selected for eviction from the cache memory corresponds to one of the plurality of memory regions and, if so, retrieve a dynamically adjustable bias value (i.e., a fractional probability) associated with the corresponding memory region. Additionally, the network computing device is configured to generate a bias comparator value for the corresponding memory region, compare the bias value of the corresponding memory region and the bias comparator value generated for the corresponding memory region, and determine whether to evict the cache line based on the comparison. Other embodiments are described herein.
