摘要:
A solution for managing a communications connection, in which one or more acknowledgements are filtered is provided. In particular, data can be obtained for forwarding to a remote device, and at least some of the data can be communicated for processing on the remote device. Subsequently, an acknowledgement is received for the at least some of the data, and a determination is made as to whether to forward the acknowledgement based on an optimization configuration. The invention can include several checks to ensure that any acknowledgement that should be forwarded for further processing is properly forwarded. In one embodiment, the invention is implemented on a network adapter, and enables numerous acknowledgements that are received by the network adapter for a large send data packet to be filtered and not provided to a protocol stack.

Transactional execution branch indications are placed into one or more transaction diagnostic blocks when a transaction is aborted. Each branch indication specifies whether a branch was taken, as a result of executing a branch instruction within the transaction. As the transaction executes and a branch instruction is encountered, a branch indication is set in a vector indicating whether the branch was taken. Then, if the transaction aborts, the indicators are stored in one or more transaction diagnostic blocks providing a branch history usable in diagnosing the failure.

In a logically partitioned host computer system comprising host processors (host CPUs) partitioned into a plurality of guest processors (guest CPUs) of a guest configuration, a perform topology function instruction is executed by a guest processor specifying a topology change of the guest configuration. The topology change preferably changes the polarization of guest CPUs, the polarization being related to the amount of a host CPU resource provided to a guest CPU.

A method, system, and computer program product for maintaining reliability in a computer system. In an example embodiment, the method includes managing workloads on a first processor with a first processor architecture by an agent process executing on a second processor with a second processor architecture. The method proceeds by activating redundant computation on the second processor by the agent process. The method continues by performing a same computation from a workload of the workloads at least twice. Finally, the method includes comparing results of the same computation. In this embodiment the first processor is coupled the second processor by a network, and the first processor architecture and second processor architecture are different architectures.
摘要:
The amount of host real storage provided to a large guest storage buffer is controlled. This control is transparent to the guest that owns the buffer and is executing an asynchronous process to update the buffer. The control uses one or more indicators to determine when additional host real storage is to be provided.

摘要:
A queuing module is configured to determine the presence of at least one shared request in a request queue, and in the event at least one shared request is determined to be present in the queue; determine the presence of a waiting exclusive request located in the queue after the at least one shared request, and in the event a waiting exclusive request is determined to be located in the queue after the at least one shared request: determine whether grouping a new shared request with the at least one shared request violates a deferral limit of the waiting exclusive request; and, in the event grouping the new shared request with the at least one shared request does not violate the deferral limit of the waiting exclusive request, group the new shared request with the at least one shared request.
摘要:
A program (e.g., an operating system) is provided a warning that it has a grace period in which to perform a function, such as cleanup (e.g., complete, stop and/or move a dispatchable unit). The program is being warned, in one example, that it is losing access to its shared resources. For instance, in a virtual environment, a guest program is warned that it is about to lose its central processing unit resources, and therefore, it is to perform a function, such as cleanup.
