摘要： A method, apparatus, and computer program product are disclosed in a data processing system for providing a virtualized time base in a logically partitioned data processing system. A time base is determined for each one of multiple processor cores. The time base is used to indicate a current time to one of the processor cores for which the time base is determined. The time bases are synchronized together for the processor cores such that each one of the processor cores includes its own copy of a synchronized time base. For one of the processor cores, a virtualized time base is generated that is different from the synchronized time base but that remains synchronized with at least a portion of the synchronized time base. The processor core utilizes the virtualized time base instead of the synchronized time base for indicating the current time to the processor core. The synchronized time bases and the portion of the virtualized time base remaining in synchronization together.

摘要： An apparatus, program product and method for facilitating logical partition migrations between computers by determining if the firmware of the computers is compatible. A hypervisor of a source logical partition may transfer a token and compatibility table indicative of firmware running on the source computer. A hypervisor on the system of the target logical partition may compare the firmware indicated by the token with a token and/or compatibility table listing firmware versions compatible with the target computer. Conversely, a token of the target computer may be compared to a compatibility table associated with firmware that is compatible with the source computer. In either instance, a match may result in the migration of the logical partition. Alternatively, an absence of a match may result in the migration being prohibited.

摘要： A logically-partitioned computer, program product and method utilize a flexible and adaptable communication interface between a partition and a partition manager, which permits optimal handling of partition management operations such as state change operations and the like over a wide variety of circumstances. In particular, a partition is permitted to indicate, in connection with a request to perform a partition management operation, whether an asynchronous notification should be generated or suppressed in association with the performance of the partition management operation by a partition manager. As a result, asynchronous notifications are selectively generated in association with the performance of partition management operations based upon indications in the requests made by partitions for such operations.

摘要： Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture for replacement of a failing processor of a multi-processor system running at least one operating system are provided. In contrast to the prior art, the replacement may be performed by system firmware without intervention by the operating system (i.e., the replacement may be transparent to the operating system). For some embodiments, the multi-processor system may be logically partitioned and the methods may be utilized to replace one or more shared or dedicated processors assigned to a logical partition, transparent to an operating system running on the partition.

摘要： A method, apparatus, system, and signal-bearing medium that in an embodiment set a resource indicator to indicate that a processor is using a resource in a logically-partitioned electronic device, determine whether a current partition in the logically-partitioned electronic device owns the resource, and clear the resource indicator after the processor is done using the resource. When a partition gives up ownership of a resource, a resource ownership state is changed to indicate that the partition does not own a resource, and the partition waits to continue executing until other processors have cleared their respective resource indicators. In an embodiment, the resource indicator is in a cache line that is local to the processor, which allows resources to be dynamically allocated with improved performance.

摘要： An apparatus, program product and method support the deallocation of a data structure in a multithreaded computer without requiring the use of computationally expensive semaphores or spin locks. Specifically, access to a data structure is governed by a shared pointer that, when a request is received to deallocate the data structure, is initially set to a value that indicates to any thread that later accesses the pointer that the data structure is not available. In addition, to address any thread that already holds a copy of the shared pointer, and thus is capable of accessing the data structure via the shared pointer after the initiation of the request, all such threads are monitored to determine whether any thread is still using the shared pointer by determining whether any thread is executing program code that is capable of using the shared pointer to access the data structure. Once this condition is met, it is ensured that no thread can potentially access the data structure via the shared pointer, and as such, the data structure may then be deallocated.

摘要： An apparatus, program product and method distributes work within a logically partitioned computer system by binding a virtual processor or other resource of a hypervisor partition to a partition or physical resource. The partition or physical resource to which the virtual resource is bound is the same partition or physical resource upon whose behalf the hypervisor resource does work. The partition requesting work of the hypervisor partition is thus penalized by virtue the virtual resource using a physical resource owned by the requesting partition.

摘要： A method, apparatus, system, and signal-bearing medium that, in an embodiment, calculate a preemption credit for a partition if a virtual processor is preempted and the partition is unable to receive an entitled capacity of physical processor cycles during a dispatch window. The preemption credit is the portion of the entitled capacity that the partition is unable to receive. As long as the partition has a remaining preemption credit, in subsequent dispatch windows, a portion of the preemption credit is allocated to the virtual processor, and the preemption credit is reduced. In this way, in an embodiment, shared processor partitions may be ensured of receiving their entitled allocation of processor cycles.
