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： A system for balancing component load. In response to receiving a request, data is updated to reflect a current number of pending requests. In response to analyzing the updated data, it is determined whether throttling is necessary. In response to determining that throttling is not necessary, a corresponding request to the received request is created and a flag is set in the corresponding request. Then, the corresponding request is sent to one of a plurality of lower level components of an input/output stack of an operating system for processing based on the analyzed data to balance component load in the input/output stack of the operating system.

摘要： A method, system, device, and article of manufacture for use in a computer memory system utilizing multiple page types, for handling a memory resource request. In a accordance with the method of the invention, a request is received for allocation of pages having a first page type. The first page type has a specified allocation limit. A determination is made in response to the page allocation request of whether the number of allocated pages of the first page type exceeds or is below the allocation limit. In response to determining that the number of allocated pages of said first page type is below the allocation limit, the virtual memory manager enables allocation of pages for the request to exceed the allocation limit.

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： 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 computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable code for managing cache data. A partition identifier is associated with a cache entry in a cache, wherein the partition identifier identifies a last partition accessing the cache entry. The partition identifier associated with the cache entry is compared with a previous partition identifier located in a processor register in response to the cache entry being moved into a lower level cache relative to the cache. The cache entry is marked if the partition identifier associated with the cache entry matches the previous partition identifier located in the processor register to form a marked cache entry, wherein the marked cache entry is aged at a slower rate relative to an unmarked cache entry.

摘要： Methods, systems, and media are disclosed for improved granularity of a response-request communication on a networked computer system. One example embodiment includes receiving the request-response communication by the networked computer system, and associating the request-response communication with a port, having a nodelay setting, from a set of ports on the networked computer system. Further, the example embodiment includes enabling, based upon the associating, the nodelay setting upon connection of the request-response communication with the port. Further still, the example embodiment includes sending, in accordance with the enabling, the request-response communication to a destination in communication with the networked computer system. In addition, further example embodiments include configuring the ports on the networked computer system with nodelay values indicating whether a particular port is assigned nodelay or no nodelay for a request portion or request portion of a request-response communication connecting to that particular port.
