摘要:
Embodiments of the present invention provide a system, method, and program product for accelerating a simulated memory walking sequence during a simulation conducted by a computer. In one embodiment, a simulation test-case is executed and one or more memory locations in the simulated memory are identified as eligible to contain valid data. Subsequent to commencement of the simulated memory walking sequence, it is determined whether an identified memory location is within a specified number of memory locations after a memory location to be processed by simulated hardware during the simulated memory walking sequence. If an identified memory location is within the specified number, the simulated hardware is allowed to process the memory location. If an identified memory location is not within the specified number, the simulated hardware is advanced to a subsequent memory location and is allowed to process the subsequent memory location.

摘要:
A processing unit for a data processing system includes a processor core having one or more execution units for processing instructions and a register file for storing data accessed in processing of the instructions. The processing unit also includes a multi-level cache hierarchy coupled to and supporting the processor core. The multi-level cache hierarchy includes at least one upper level of cache memory having a lower access latency and at least one lower level of cache memory having a higher access latency. The lower level of cache memory, responsive to receipt of a memory access request that hits only a partial cache line in the lower level cache memory, sources the partial cache line to the at least one upper level cache memory to service the memory access request. The at least one upper level cache memory services the memory access request without caching the partial cache line.

A data processing system employing a weakly ordered storage architecture includes first and second sets of processing units coupled to each other and data storage by an interconnect fabric. Each processing unit has a processor core having an associated cache hierarchy including at least a level one, level two and level three cache memories. A request to perform an update to a portion of a first image of memory contained in the level three cache memory of a first processing unit while at last one kill-type command is pending at the first processing unit, the cache hierarchy of the first processing unit permitting the update to be exposed to any first processor core only after the at least one kill-type command is complete.

A re-configurable cargo cover for a bed of a vehicle includes a door adapted to be disposed in a door opening of a vehicle body. The re-configurable cargo cover includes a plurality of individual panels operatively cooperating with each other and a bed of a vehicle. The re-configurable cargo cover includes a pair of interior sides operatively connected to sides of the bed of the vehicle. The re-configurable cargo cover further includes the panels and the sides having features cooperating with each other to re-configure the panels into a plurality of different configurations for a cargo area of the bed of the vehicle.
摘要:
A computer identifies a storage element in a simulation model of an integrated circuit design that, during simulation of the integrated circuit design using the simulation model, is subject to having its value forced. In response to identifying the storage element, an indication of the storage element and the associated clock signal are stored in a database. In response to receiving an input indicating the value of the storage element is to be forced during simulation, a determination is made by reference to the database whether or not forcing of the value is mistimed with reference to the associated clock signal. In response to a determination that the forcing of the value as indicated by the input is mistimed with reference to the associated clock signal, an indication that forcing of the value is mistimed is output.
