摘要:
A method is disclosed. The method includes scheduling a load operation at least twice the size of a maximum access supported by a memory device, dividing the load operation into a plurality of separate load operation segments having a size equivalent to the maximum access supported by the memory device, and performing each of the plurality of load operation segments. A further method is disclosed where a temporary register is used to minimize the number of memory accesses to support unaligned accesses.

A low cost, low power consumption scalable architecture is provided to allow a computer system to be managed remotely during all system power states. In a lowest power state, power is only applied to minimum logic necessary to examine a network packet. Power is applied for a short period of time to an execution subsystem and one of a plurality of cores selected to handle processing of received service requests. After processing the received service requests, the computer system returns to the lowest power state.

In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method for receiving a cache access request for data present in a lower-level cache line of a lower-level cache, and sending recency information regarding the lower-level cache line to a higher-level cache. The higher-level cache may be inclusive with the lower-level cache and may update age data associated with the cache line, thus reducing the likelihood of eviction of the cache line. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

In some embodiments, a processor-based system includes a processor, a system memory coupled to the processor, a mass storage device, a cache memory located between the system memory and the mass storage device, and code stored on the processor-based system to cause the processor-based system to utilize the cache memory. The code may be configured to cause the processor-based system to preferentially use only a selected size of the cache memory to store cache entries having less than or equal to a selected number of cache hits. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.
摘要:
An apparatus, method, machine-readable medium, and system are disclosed. In one embodiment the apparatus is a micro-page table engine that includes logic that is capable of receiving a memory page request for a page in global memory address space. The apparatus also includes a translation lookaside buffer (TLB) that is capable of storing one or more memory page address translations. Additionally, the apparatus also has a page miss handler capable of performing a micro physical address lookup in a page miss handler tag table in response to the TLB not storing the memory page address translation for the page of memory referenced by the memory page request. The apparatus also includes memory management logic that is capable of managing the page miss handler tag table entries. The micro-page table engine allows the TLB to be an agent that determines whether data in a two-level memory hierarchy is in a hot region of memory or in a cold region of memory. When data is in the cold region of memory, the micro-page table engine fetches the data to the hot memory and a hot memory block is then pushed out to the cold memory area.
摘要:
During a process of transitioning a processing system from sleep mode to active mode, system firmware of the processing system may automatically determine whether an initialization task has been assigned to a component other than system firmware, based on data obtained from a resume descriptor stored in nonvolatile storage of the processing system. The system firmware may skip the initialization task if the initialization task has been assigned to a component other than the system firmware. For example, in one embodiment, the system firmware may determine whether the resume descriptor identifies one or more memory ranges. If so, the system firmware may forego initialization of at least one memory range identified in the resume descriptor when initializing a random access memory (RAM) of the processing system. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
