Abstract:
A method for performing memory operations is provided. One or more processors can determine that at least a portion of data stored in a cache memory of the one or more processors is to be stored in the main memory. One or more ranges of addresses of the main memory is determined that correspond to a plurality of cache lines in the cache memory. A set of cache lines corresponding to addresses in the one or more ranges of addresses is identified, so that data stored in the identified set can be stored in the main memory. For each cache line of the identified set having data that has been modified since that cache line was first loaded to the cache memory or since a previous store operation, data stored in that cache line is caused to be stored in the main memory.
Abstract:
A technique includes performing an update to a location of a non-volatile memory. The update is created by execution of at least one machine executable instruction of a plurality of machine executable instructions. The technique includes using a processor-based machine to selectively track the update to allow recovery of the execution to a given consistency point based at least in part on whether the machine executable instruction(s) creating the update are located within a synchronized section of the plurality of machine executable instructions.
