摘要： A system and method is provided for delaying a priority boost of an execution thread. When a thread prepares to enter a critical section of code, such as when the thread utilizes a shared system resource, a user mode accessible data area is updated indicating that the thread is in a critical section and, if the kernel receives a preemption event, the priority boost that the thread should receive. If the kernel receives a preemption event before the thread finishes the critical section, the kernel applies the priority boost on behalf of the thread. Often, the thread will finish the critical section without having to have its priority actually boosted. If the thread does receive an actual priority boost then, after the critical section is finished, the kernel resets the thread's priority to a normal level.

摘要： A system, apparatus and method of reducing cache thrashing in a multi-processor with a shared cache executing a disruptive process (i.e., a thread that has a poor cache affinity or a large cache footprint) are provided. When a thread is dispatched for execution, a table is consulted to determine whether the dispatched thread is a disruptive thread. If so, a system idle process is dispatched to the processor sharing a cache with the processor executing the disruptive thread. Since the system idle process may not use data intensively, cache thrashing may be avoided.

摘要： A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable code for managing cache data. A partition identifier is associated with a cache entry in a cache, wherein the partition identifier identifies a last partition accessing the cache entry. The partition identifier associated with the cache entry is compared with a previous partition identifier located in a processor register in response to the cache entry being moved into a lower level cache relative to the cache. The cache entry is marked if the partition identifier associated with the cache entry matches the previous partition identifier located in the processor register to form a marked cache entry, wherein the marked cache entry is aged at a slower rate relative to an unmarked cache entry.

摘要： A system and method for scheduling threads in a Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) processor environment utilizing multiple SMT processors is provided. Poor performing threads that are being run on each of the SMT processors are identified. After being identified, the poor performing threads are moved to a different SMT processor. Data is captured regarding the performance of threads. In one embodiment, this data includes each threads' CPI value. When a thread is moved, data regarding the thread and its performance at the time it was moved is recorded along with a timestamp. The data regarding previous moves is used to determine whether a thread's performance is improved following the move.

摘要： Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided for scheduling threads in a multiprocessor computer. Embodiments include selecting a thread in a ready queue to be dispatched to a processor and determining whether an interrupt mask flag is set in a thread control block associated with the thread. If the interrupt mask flag is set in the thread control block associated with the thread, embodiments typically include selecting a processor, setting a current processor priority register of the selected processor to least favored, and dispatching the thread from the ready queue to the selected processor. In some embodiments, setting the current processor priority register of the selected processor to least favored is carried out by storing a value associated with the highest interrupt priority in the current processor priority register.

摘要： Input/output (I/O) requests generated by processes are typically stored in I/O queues. Because the queued I/O requests may not be associated with the processes that generated them, changing a process' priority may not affect the priority of the I/O requests generated by the process. Therefore, after the process' priority has been increased, it may be forced to wait for an I/O handler to service its I/O request, which may be stuck behind an I/O request generated by a lower priority process. Functionality can be implemented to associate the processes' priorities with the I/O requests generated by the processes. Also, reordering the queued I/O requests to reflect changes in the processes' priorities can ensure that the I/O requests from high priority processes are serviced before the I/O requests from low priority processes. This can ensure efficient processing and lower wait times for high priority processes.

摘要翻译： 由进程生成的输入/输出（I / O）请求通常存储在I / O队列中。 因为排队的I / O请求可能不与生成它们的进程相关联，所以更改进程的优先级可能不会影响进程生成的I / O请求的优先级。 因此，在进程优先级增加之后，可能迫使其等待I / O处理程序来服务其I / O请求，这可能会被较低优先级进程生成的I / O请求所困扰。 可以实现功能，将进程的优先级与进程生成的I / O请求相关联。 此外，重新排序排队的I / O请求以反映进程优先级的更改可以确保在优先级较低的进程的I / O请求之前对来自高优先级进程的I / O请求进行服务。 这可以确保高优先级进程的有效处理和较短的等待时间。

摘要： Methods, systems, and media are disclosed for improved granularity of a response-request communication on a networked computer system. One example embodiment includes receiving the request-response communication by the networked computer system, and associating the request-response communication with a port, having a nodelay setting, from a set of ports on the networked computer system. Further, the example embodiment includes enabling, based upon the associating, the nodelay setting upon connection of the request-response communication with the port. Further still, the example embodiment includes sending, in accordance with the enabling, the request-response communication to a destination in communication with the networked computer system. In addition, further example embodiments include configuring the ports on the networked computer system with nodelay values indicating whether a particular port is assigned nodelay or no nodelay for a request portion or request portion of a request-response communication connecting to that particular port.
