    摘要: A method of assigning virtual memory to physical memory in a data processing system allocates a set of contiguous physical memory pages for a new page mapping, instructs the memory controller to move the virtual memory pages according to the new page mapping, and then allows access to the virtual memory pages using the new page mapping while the memory controller is still copying the virtual memory pages to the set of physical memory pages. The memory controller can use a mapping table which temporarily stores entries of the old and new page addresses, and releases the entries as copying for each entry is completed. The translation lookaside buffer (TLB) entries in the processor cores are updated for the new page addresses prior to completion of copying of the memory pages by the memory controller. The invention can be extended to non-uniform memory array (NUMA) systems. For systems with cache memory, any cache entry which is affected by the page move can be updated by modifying its address tag according to the new page mapping. This tag modification may be limited to cache entries in a dirty coherency state. The cache can further relocate a cache entry based on a changed congruence class for any modified address tag.

    摘要: A method for allocating memory in a data processing system in which a configuration table indicative of the system's physical memory is generated following a boot event. The configuration table is then modified to identify a portion of the system's physical memory thereby hiding the remaining portion from the operating system. Subsequently, a memory allocation request is initiated by an application program. A device driver invoked by the application program then maps physical memory from the hidden portion to the application's virtual address space to satisfy the application request. The application program may be executing on a first node of a multi-node system in which each node is associated with its own local memory, In this embodiment, the node on which the allocated physical memory is located may be derived from the allocation request thereby facilitating application level, allocation of specified portions of physical memory.

    摘要: In one embodiment, an improved method for crawling a web site is provided. At least one page of the web site has a reference for executing by a browser to produce an address for a next page. The web site is crawled by the crawler program, which includes querying the web site server. The crawler parses such a reference from one of the web pages, and sends the reference to an applet running in the browser. The address for the next page is determined by the browser responsive to the reference. The address is then sent to the crawler. In an application of the improved crawler, the crawler is used for reducing dynamic data generation on the web site server. In this application, at least some of the web pages are dynamically generated responsive to the crawler queries. The server generated web pages are processed to generate corresponding processed versions of the web pages, so that the processed versions can be served in response to future queries, reducing dynamic generation of web pages by the server.

    摘要: A performance monitor configured to count memory transactions and to issue an interrupt to the computer system if the monitor detects a specified number of transactions associated with a particular segment of the physical address space of the system. The monitor includes an interface suitable for coupling to an interconnect network of a computer system and configured to extract physical address information from a transaction traversing the interconnect network, a translation module adapted for associating the extracted physical address with one of a plurality of memory blocks and, in response thereto, incrementing a memory block counter corresponding to the memory block, and an interrupt unit configured to assert an interrupt if the block counter exceeds a predetermined value. The interface unit is configurable to selectively monitor either incoming or outgoing transactions and the translation unit preferably includes a plurality of region filters each comprising one or more of the memory blocks. In the preferred embodiment, the plurality of block counters are implemented with a random access memory device. In one embodiment useful for simulating operation of the system and for checking the design of the performance monitor, the monitor further includes a transaction generator coupled to the interconnect network and configured to issue specified remote memory transactions at specified intervals if a monitor enable bit of the performance monitor is disabled. In one embodiment, the transaction generator is configurable to issue either outgoing transactions or incoming transactions.

    摘要: A system and method for providing in-server caching of shared data involves a server program that defines a server cache in RAM of a server machine and stores a selected file in the server cache. If a cached file is modified through the file system interface of the operating system of the server machine, the operating system automatically issues an upcall to the server program, the upcall identifying the modified file. In response to receipt of the upcall, the server program removes the modified file from the server cache. In one embodiment, the server program responds to a client request requiring access to a requested file by obtaining the requested file from the server cache if the server cache contains that file. Otherwise, the server program calls the operating system to obtain the requested file and then adds that file to the server cache as a cached file. The server program then generates a result based on the requested file and transmits the result to the remote data processing system.

    摘要: A web server that integrates portions of operating system code to execute substantially within user space to reduce context switching. The web server includes an application level interpreter, such as an HTTP interpreter, configured to process client requests. The web server typically includes a network interface dedicated to process traffic to and from the web server. The web server may include within its user space kernel device driver extensions enabling it to communicate directly with the network interface. The server may implement a polling architecture in which the server periodically monitors the interface for new requests. The web server typically includes a user space transmission protocol library that enables the server to perform its own network processing of requests and responses. The library may include TCP/IP drivers that are optimized or streamlined for to processing HTTP requests.
