摘要:
A system for making a determination to send a synchronous or asynchronous resource request. In response to sending a request to receive response time data for resource requests, the response time data for resource requests is received and stored. A request from a requester is received for response time data for a particular type of resource request. The response time data for the resource requests is searched for the particular type of resource request. In response to finding the response time data for the particular type of resource request within the response time data for the resource requests, the response time data for the particular type of resource request is sent to the requester. The requester either sends a synchronous or asynchronous resource request based on the response time data for the particular type of resource request.
摘要:
A mechanism for generating pre-translated segments for use in virtual to real address translation is provided in which segments that are determined to meet a density threshold are promoted to a pre-translated segment class. The pages of these segments are moved to a contiguous portion of memory and the segment table entry corresponding to the segment is updated to indicate the segment to be a pre-translated segment and to include the base real address for the contiguous portion of memory. In one embodiment, as each page is moved, its page table entry is updated to point to the new location of the page so that the page is still accessible during promotion of the segment to a pre-translated segment. In this way, virtual-to-real address translation may be performed by concatenating the segment base real address, the page identifier, and a byte offset into the page.
