摘要： A computer program product for scheduling threads in a multiprocessor computer comprises computer program instructions configured to select a thread in a ready queue to be dispatched to a processor and determine 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, the computer program instructions are configured to select a processor, set a current processor priority register of the selected processor to least favored, and dispatch the thread from the ready queue to the selected processor.

摘要： An approach is provided that reserves a software lock for a waiting thread is presented. When a software lock is released by a first thread, a second thread that is waiting for the same resource controlled by the software lock is woken up. In addition, a reservation to the software lock is established for the second thread. After the reservation is established, if the lock is available and requested by a thread other than the second thread, the requesting thread is denied, added to the wait queue, and put to sleep. In addition, the reservation is cleared. After the reservation has been cleared, the lock will be granted to the next thread to request the lock.

摘要： A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program product for utilizing instruction trace registers. In one embodiment, a value in a target processor register in a plurality of processor registers is updated in response to executing an instruction associated with program code. In response to updating the value in the target processor register, an address for the instruction is copied from an instruction address register into an instruction trace register associated with the target processor register. The instruction trace register holds the address of the instruction that updated the value stored in the target processor register.

摘要： A method, system, and program for managing memory page requests in a multi-processor data processing system determines a threshold value of available memory, and dynamically adjusts an allocation time to fulfill a page request if the available memory is below a threshold value. The allocation time to fulfill the page request is based upon a percentage of available memory pages once a page stealer commences a scan for pages. An allocation wait time is inversely proportionally adjusted depending upon the percentage of available memory. The allocation wait time has a duration that increases in time as the percentage of available memory decreases and decreases in time as the percentage of available memory increases. More specifically, an average time per page to allocate a page including a scan time for the scan in computing the average time is determined. Then a tunable value is applied to the average time to determine a wait time. In a preferred embodiment, user defined values are received that would control the allocation wait time before fulfilling a page request.

摘要： An e-mail application calculates a dynamic estimate of an e-mail response time. A recipient address module, a status module, a processing module, and a presentation module interact to generate a first and a second estimated response time. The first estimated response time is determined from sender side data. The second estimated response time is generated using recipient mailbox status data after the e-mail is received by the recipient. The second estimated response time is used to dynamically update the estimated response time displayed to the sender.

摘要： One embodiment of this invention addresses the use of biometrics for accessing a touch screen keyboard on a tablet personal computer (PC), and ensuring security if the PC is left unattended. The core idea is to assign biometrics to soft keyboards without the use of a physical keyboard. In this example, every key on the keyboard will be assigned a biometric fingerprint associated with the corresponding finger that would type it. When a user types, a portion of its fingerprint touches the keys. By storing the portions and assigning the portions to the soft keyboard, it is ensured that every key typed is associated with the corresponding key fingerprint portion, thus ensuring maximum biometric security. In addition, the keystroke delays and word delays can be recorded and compared with previous data for added security.

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： A system and method for identifying compatible threads in a Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) processor environment is provided by calculating a performance metric, such as cycles per instruction (CPI), that occurs when two threads are running on the SMT processor. The CPI that is achieved when both threads were executing on the SMT processor is determined. If the CPI that was achieved is better than the compatibility threshold, then information indicating the compatibility is recorded. When a thread is about to complete, the scheduler looks at the run queue from which the completing thread belongs to dispatch another thread. The scheduler identifies a thread that is (1) compatible with the thread that is still running on the SMT processor (i.e., the thread that is not about to complete), and (2) ready to execute. The CPI data is continually updated so that threads that are compatible with one another are continually identified.

摘要翻译： 通过计算在SMT处理器上运行两个线程时发生的性能指标（例如每个指令周期（CPI）），可以提供用于在同时多线程（SMT）处理器环境中识别兼容线程的系统和方法。 确定在两个线程在SMT处理器上执行时实现的CPI。 如果实现的CPI优于兼容性阈值，则记录指示兼容性的信息。 当线程即将完成时，调度程序将查看完成线程所属的运行队列，以调度另一个线程。 调度程序标识（1）与SMT处理器上仍然运行的线程（即，即将完成的线程）兼容的线程，以及（2）准备执行。 持续更新CPI数据，以便不断地识别彼此兼容的线程。
