    摘要: A method, apparatus, and system are provided for monitoring locks using monitor-memory wait. In one embodiment, a memory to store instructions to perform functions of a monitoring mechanism is provided. The monitoring mechanism having a first logic to cause a processor to exit a sleep state in response to an event, wherein exiting the sleep state comprises resuming control of processing resources that were relinquished by the processor during the sleep state. The monitoring mechanism having a second logic to disable monitoring of a node associated with a contended lock after the processor exits the sleep state.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for executing lock instructions speculatively in an out-of-order processor are disclosed. In one embodiment, a prediction is made whether a given lock instruction will actually be contended. If not, then the lock instruction may be treated as having a normal load micro-operation which may be speculatively executed. Monitor logic may look for indications that the lock instruction is actually contended. If no such indications are found, the speculative load micro-operation and other micro-operations corresponding to the lock instruction may retire. However, if such indications are in fact found, the lock instruction may be restarted, and the prediction mechanism may be updated.

    摘要: In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method for receiving a cache access request for data present in a lower-level cache line of a lower-level cache, and sending recency information regarding the lower-level cache line to a higher-level cache. The higher-level cache may be inclusive with the lower-level cache and may update age data associated with the cache line, thus reducing the likelihood of eviction of the cache line. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
