摘要:
In an embodiment, a processor includes a vector execution unit having a plurality of lanes to execute operations on vector operands, a performance monitor coupled to the vector execution unit to maintain information regarding an activity level of the lanes, and a control logic coupled to the performance monitor to control power consumption of the vector execution unit based at least in part on the activity level of at least some of the lanes. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Systems and methods for dynamically remapping elements of a set to another set based on random keys. Application of said systems and methods to dynamically mapping regions of memory space of non-volatile memory, e.g., phase-change memory, can provide a wear-leveling technique. The wear leveling technique can be effective under normal execution of typical applications, and in worst-case scenarios including the presence of malicious exploits and/or compromised operating systems, wherein constantly migrating the physical location of data inside the PCM avoids information leakage and increases security; wherein random relocation of data results in the distribution of memory requests across the physical memory space increases durability; and wherein such wear leveling schemes can be implemented to provide fine-grained wear leveling without overly-burdensome hardware overhead e.g., a look-up table.

In one embodiment, the present invention includes a processor with a vector execution unit to execute a vector instruction on a vector having a plurality of individual data elements, where the vector instruction is of a first width and the vector execution unit is of a smaller width. The processor further includes a control logic coupled to the vector execution unit to compress a number of execution cycles consumed in execution of the vector instruction when at least some of the individual data elements are not to be operated on by the vector instruction. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

A collective communication apparatus and method for parallel computing systems. For example, one embodiment of an apparatus comprises a plurality of processor elements (PEs); collective interconnect logic to dynamically form a virtual collective interconnect (VCI) between the PEs at runtime without global communication among all of the PEs, the VCI defining a logical topology between the PEs in which each PE is directly communicatively coupled to a only a subset of the remaining PEs; and execution logic to execute collective operations across the PEs, wherein one or more of the PEs receive first results from a first portion of the subset of the remaining PEs, perform a portion of the collective operations, and provide second results to a second portion of the subset of the remaining PEs.
