摘要： Methods and apparatus for providing page migration of pages among tiered memories identify frequently accessed memory pages in each memory tier and generate page hotness ranking information indicating how frequently memory pages are being accessed. Methods and apparatus provide the page hotness ranking information to an operating system or hypervisor depending on which is used in the system, the operating system or hypervisor issues a page move command to a hardware data mover, based on the page hotness ranking information and the hardware data mover moves a memory page to a different memory tier in response to the page move command from the operating system.

摘要： A system including a gasket communicatively coupled between a unified northbridge (UNB) having a cache coherent interconnect (CCI) interface and a processor having an Advanced eXtensible Interface (AXI) coherency extension (ACE). The gasket is configured to translate requests from the processor that include ACE commands into equivalent CCI commands, wherein each request from the processor maps onto a specific CCI request type. The gasket is further configured to translate ACE tags into CCI tags. The gasket is further configured to translate CCI encoded probes from a system resource interface (SRI) into equivalent ACE snoop transactions. The gasket is further configured to translate the memory map to inter-operate with a UNB/coherent HyperTransport (cHT) environment. The gasket is further configured to receive a barrier transaction that is used to provide ordering for transactions.

摘要： The present invention provides for page table access and dirty bit management in hardware via a new atomic test[0] and OR and Mask. The present invention also provides for a gasket that enables ACE to CCI translations. This gasket further provides request translation between ACE and CCI, deadlock avoidance for victim and probe collision, ARM barrier handling, and power management interactions. The present invention also provides a solution for ARM victim/probe collision handling which deadlocks the unified northbridge. These solutions includes a dedicated writeback virtual channel, probes for IO requests using 4-hop protocol, and a WrBack Reorder Ability in MCT where victims update older requests with data as they pass the requests.

摘要： A system and method of managing requests from peripherals in a computer system are provided. In the system and method, an input/output memory management unit (IOMMU) receives a peripheral page request (PPR) from a peripheral. In response to a determination that a criterion regarding an available capacity of a PPR log is satisfied, a completion message is sent to the peripheral indicating that the PPR is complete and the PPR is discarded without queuing the PPR in the PPR log.

摘要： Techniques for implementing programmable control by a guest virtual machine (VM) of interrupts at a processing system using a guest owned backing page are disclosed. The VM programs a guest owned backing page (e.g., a data structure in memory) that designates particular interrupts that are to be blocked. In response to detecting a designated interrupt, system hardware or software blocks the interrupt, rather than executing an interrupt handler to process the interrupt. The VM is thereby able to protect confidential information and program behavior with less risk of a malicious hypervisor failing to protect the VM from, e.g., unexpected or unwanted interrupts, thereby improving overall system security and predictability.

摘要： A method and system for recording and logging errors in a computer system includes reading first error handling information with respect to a transaction. The first error handling information is stored in a first component, and based upon a condition of the storage in the first component, an oldest error information is evicted from the first component.
