Abstract:
In an embodiment, an apparatus is provided that may include an integrated circuit including switch circuitry to determine, at least in part, an action to be executed involving a packet. This determination may be based, at least in part, upon flow information determined, at least in part, from the packet, and packet processing policy information. The circuitry may examine the policy information to determine whether a previously-established packet processing policy has been established that corresponds, at least in part, to the flow information. If the circuitry determines, at least in part, that the policy has not been established and the packet is a first packet in a flow corresponding at least in part to the flow information, the switch circuitry may request that at least one switch control program module establish, at least in part, a new packet processing policy corresponding, at least in part, to the flow information.

Abstract:
In an embodiment, a method includes identifying a core of a multicore processor to which an incoming packet that is received in a packet buffer is to be directed, and if the core is powered down, transmitting a first message to cause the core to be powered up prior to arrival of the incoming packet at a head of the packet buffer. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract:
A processor includes packed data registers, and a decode unit to decode a data element selection and consolidation instruction. The instruction is to have a first source packed data operand that is to have a plurality of data elements, and a second source operand that is to have a plurality of mask elements. Each mask element corresponds to a different data element in the same relative position. An execution unit is coupled with the decode unit. The execution unit, in response to the instruction, is to store a result packed data operand in a destination storage location that is to be indicated by the instruction. The result packed data operand is to include all data elements of the first source packed data operand, which correspond to unmasked mask elements of the second source operand, consolidated together in a portion of the result packed data operand.
