摘要： Among other things, one or more techniques and/or systems are provided for controlling resource access for background tasks. For example, a background task created by an application may utilize a resource (e.g., CPU cycles, bandwidth usage, etc.) by consuming resource allotment units from an application resource pool. Once the application resource pool is exhausted, the background task is generally restricted from utilizing the resource. However, the background task may also utilize global resource allotment units from a global resource pool shared by a plurality of applications to access the resource. Once the global resource pool is exhausted, unless the background task is a guaranteed background task which can consume resources regardless of resource allotment states of resource pools, the background task may be restricted from utilizing the resource until global resource allotment units within the global resource pool and/or resource allotment units within the application resource pool are replenished.

摘要翻译： 除其他之外，提供一个或多个技术和/或系统用于控制后台任务的资源访问。 例如，由应用程序创建的后台任务可以通过从应用资源池消耗资源分配单元来利用资源（例如，CPU周期，带宽使用等）。 一旦应用资源池耗尽，后台任务一般不受资源的利用。 然而，后台任务还可以利用来自多个应用程序共享的全局资源池的全局资源分配单元来访问资源。 一旦全局资源池耗尽，除非后台任务是可以消耗资源的有保证的后台任务，而不管资源池的资源分配状态如何，则可能会限制后台任务的使用，直到全局资源池中的全局资源分配单元 和/或应用程序资源池中的资源分配单元被补充。

摘要： One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for suspending logically related processes associated with an application, determining whether to resume a suspended process based upon one or more wake policies, and/or managing an application state of an application, such as timer and/or system message data. That is, logically related processes associated with an application, such as child processes, may be identified and suspended based upon logical relationships between the processes (e.g., a logical container hierarchy may be traversed to identify logically related processes). A suspended process may be resumed based upon a set of wake policies. For example, a suspended process may be resumed based upon an inter-process communication call policy that may be triggered by an application attempting to communicate with the suspended process. Application data may be managed while an application is suspended so that the application may be resumed in a current and/or relevant state.

摘要： The present invention manages resources in a computing device to facilitate the allocation of resources amongst competing clients operating on the device. A hierarchy of budgets is constructed to encode restrictions on the aggregated use of a resource allocated by a resource provider to one or more clients. A resource manager validates and arbitrates requests to allocate resources to the one or more clients by resource providers in accordance with the budgets comprising the hierarchy. The resource manager notifies clients of availability and shortages of resources to promote compliance with the restrictions encoded in the budgets of the hierarchy.

摘要： A computer operating system with a map that relates API namespaces to components that implement an interface contracts for the namespaces. When an API namespace is to be used, a loader within the operating system uses the map to load components based on the map. An application can reference an API namespace in the same way as it references a dynamically linked library, but the implementation of the interface contract for the API namespace is not tied to a single file or to a static collection of files. The map may identify versions of the API namespace or values of runtime parameters that may be used to select appropriate files to implement an interface contract in scenarios that may depend on factors such as hardware in the execution environment, a version of the API namespace against which an application was developed or the application accessing the API namespace.

摘要： In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method for receiving control in a kernel mode via a ring transition from a user thread during execution of an unbounded transactional memory (UTM) transaction, updating a state of a transaction status register (TSR) associated with the user thread and storing the TSR with a context of the user thread, and later restoring the context during a transition from the kernel mode to the user thread. In this way, the UTM transaction may continue on resumption of the user thread. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

摘要： Various aspects are disclosed herein for attenuating spin waiting in a virtual machine environment comprising a plurality of virtual machines and virtual processors. Selected virtual processors can be given time slice extensions in order to prevent such virtual processors from becoming de-scheduled (and hence causing other virtual processors to have to spin wait). Selected virtual processors can also be expressly scheduled so that they can be given higher priority to resources, resulting in reduced spin waits for other virtual processors waiting on such selected virtual processors. Finally, various spin wait detection techniques can be incorporated into the time slice extension and express scheduling mechanisms, in order to identify potential and existing spin waiting scenarios.

摘要： Aspects of the present invention are directed at providing safe and efficient ways for a program to perform a one-time initialization of a data item in a multi-threaded environment. In accordance with one embodiment, a method is provided that allows a program to perform a synchronized initialization of a data item that may be accessed by multiple threads. More specifically, the method includes receiving a request to initialize the data item from a current thread. In response to receiving the request, the method determines whether the current thread is the first thread to attempt to initialize the data item. If the current thread is the first thread to attempt to initialize the data item, the method enforces mutual exclusion and blocks other attempts to initialize the data item made by concurrent threads. Then, the current thread is allowed to execute program code provided by the program to initialize the data item.

摘要翻译： 本发明的方面旨在为程序在多线程环境中执行数据项的一次初始化提供安全和有效的方式。 根据一个实施例，提供了一种允许程序执行可被多个线程访问的数据项的同步初始化的方法。 更具体地说，该方法包括从当前线程接收初始化数据项的请求。 响应于接收到请求，该方法确定当前线程是否是尝试初始化数据项的第一线程。 如果当前线程是尝试初始化数据项的第一个线程，则该方法会强制执行互斥，并阻止其他尝试初始化由并发线程创建的数据项。 然后，允许当前线程执行程序提供的程序代码来初始化数据项。
