摘要： An operating system kernel includes an attach mechanism and a detach mechanism. In addition, processes are tagged with an access attribute identifying the process as either a client process or a server process. Based on the access attribute, the operating system kernel lays out the process local address space differently depending on whether the process is a client process or a server process. A server process can “attach” to a client process and reference all of the client process' local storage as though it were its own. The server process continues to reference its own process local storage, but in addition, it can reference the other storage, using the client process' local addresses. When access to the other storage is no longer needed, the server process can “detach” from the client process. Once detached, the other storage can no longer be referenced.

摘要： A method, apparatus, system, and signal-bearing medium that, in an embodiment, set uncorrectable error indicators in logical memory blocks in response to detecting an uncorrectable error in memory pages associated with the logical memory blocks. If the logical memory block is allocated to a hypervisor, the memory page may be deallocated in response to detection of the uncorrectable error. When an IPL of a partition is subsequently performed, a determination is made whether a logical memory block allocated to the partition previously encountered the uncorrectable error via the uncorrectable error indicator. If the logical memory block did previously encounter the uncorrectable error, the logical memory block is deallocated from the partition. In an embodiment, if spare memory exists, the logical memory block with the previously encountered uncorrectable error is replaced with the spare memory and the IPL of the partition is continued with the spare memory. If spare memory does not exist, the IPL of the partition is continued without the logical memory block that previously encountered the uncorrectable error. This allows a partition to IPL if it had not been able to because of a persistent uncorrectable error in its IPL path.

摘要： In a computer system that includes multiple nodes and multiple logical partitions, a dynamic partition manager computes current memory affinity and potential memory affinity at the request of a logical partition to help the logical partition determine whether a reallocation of resources between nodes may improve memory affinity for the logical partition. If so, the logical partition requests reallocation of resources by the dynamic partition manager so memory affinity for the logical partition is improved.
