摘要:
According to one aspect of the present disclosure a system and computer program product for managing memory access is disclosed. The system includes a plurality of memory controllers each configured to maintain memory databus utilization by a corresponding processor at or below a threshold to maintain memory databus utilization of the system at or below a system threshold. The system also includes a service processor configured to receive memory databus utilization data from the memory controllers and programmed to, in response to determining that memory databus utilization for at least one of the processors is below its threshold, reallocate at least a portion of unused databus utilization from the at least one processor to at least one of the other processors.
摘要:
A mechanism is provided for unified management of power, performance, and thermals in computer systems. This mechanism incorporates elements to effectively address all aspects of managing computing systems in an integrated manner, instead of independently. The mechanism employs an infrastructure for real-time measurements feedback, an infrastructure for regulating system activity, component operating levels, and environmental control, a dedicated control structure for guaranteed response/preemptive action, and interaction and integration components. The mechanism provides interfaces for user-level interaction. The mechanism also employs methods to address power/thermal concerns at multiple timescales. In addition, the mechanism improves efficiency by adopting an integrated approach, rather than treating different aspects of the power/thermal problem as individual issues to be addressed in a piecemeal fashion.
摘要:
A programmable interconnection system for a programmable array includes pluralities of parallel buses for rows and columns of logic cells arranged in the array. Two groups of seven buses are provided for each row or column of logic cells. The buses include conductors connectable to each other, and selectively connectable to, or isolated from, the logic cells. A hierarchy of conductor lengths is disclosed to provide intra-sector and inter-sector bussing. Staggered switching is employed for adjacent sector access.

According to one aspect of the present disclosure a method and technique for managing memory access is disclosed. The method includes setting a memory databus utilization threshold for each of a plurality of processors of a data processing system to maintain memory databus utilization of the data processing system at or below a system threshold. The method also includes monitoring memory databus utilization for the plurality of processors and, in response to determining that memory databus utilization for at least one of the processors is below its threshold, reallocating at least a portion of unused databus utilization from the at least one processor to at least one of the other processors.
