Abstract:
Systems and methods may provide translation cache closure and consistent data recovery in dynamic code generating system. An apparatus may group translation cache together and restore a translation cache snapshot as a whole. Chaining between translations may be maintained during saving and restoration.
Abstract:
Apparatuses, methods and storage media associated with multiple processor modes execution are described herein. In embodiments, an apparatus may include a processor with a plurality of processor modes, including a first processor mode to address a first address space, and a second processor mode to address a second address space, the second address space including the first address space. The apparatus may further include a signal handler to handle a signal from a kernel, in the first processor mode; and a signal handler wrapper to switch the processor to the second processor mode on delivery of the signal from the kernel, save a current extra context of the second processor mode from the second register file to a user stack, switch the processor back to the first processor mode, then invoke the signal handler to handle the signal. Other embodiments may be described or claimed.
Abstract:
Methods, apparatuses and storage medium associated with ISA bridging with support for virtual functions, are disclosed. In embodiments, at least one computer-readable storage medium may include instructions configured to enable a target device with a target ISA, in response to execution, to provide an ISA bridging layer to the target device to facilitate a library service of a library of the target device to call a virtual function of the library, while servicing an application operating on the target device, where the application has an overriding implementation. The ISA bridging layer may include a loader configured to load the application for execution, and as part of loading the application, detect the virtual function and modify a virtual function table of the application to enable the call. Other embodiments may be disclosed or claimed.
Abstract:
Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for technology that determines a ratio of floating point instructions to memory read instructions and controls a dimension size of a matrix kernel based at least in part on the ratio. In one example, the matrix kernel conducts an operation between a first matrix and a second matrix and the technology reuses elements of the first matrix for multiple vector lines of the second matrix.
Abstract:
Various embodiments include nested emulation for a source application and source emulator. Duplicate source ISA libraries redirect the source emulator library calls to a target library, thereby forcing the native emulator through proper emulation channels between first and second ISAs. Other embodiments concern accelerating dynamic linking by determining certain function calls that, rather than being processed through emulation of PLT code, are instead directly called without the need for PLT code translation. Some embodiments address both nested emulation and accelerated dynamic linking but other embodiments include one of nested emulation and accelerated dynamic linking. Other embodiments are described herein.
Abstract:
Methods, apparatuses and storage medium associated with execution of application code having multiple ISAs, are disclosed. In various embodiments, a runtime environment may execute application code having multiple instruction set architectures. The runtime environment may be configured to execute first code of the application code according to a first instruction set architecture, while also configured to execute second code of the application code according to a second instruction set architecture that extends the first instruction set architecture. Using gates, the runtime environment may be adapted to adapt an interaction from the first code to the second instruction set architecture and/or adapt an interaction from the second code to the first instruction set architecture and, subsequently, return to executing the application code according to the first instruction set architecture or the second instruction set architecture, respectively. Other embodiments may be disclosed or claimed.
