Abstract:
Managing connected data, such as a graph data store, includes a computing device with persistent memory and volatile memory. The computing device stores a graph data store with a plurality of nodes and edges in persistent memory. Each of the edges defines the relationship between at least two of the nodes. The nodes and edges may contain tags and properties containing additional information. In response to a search request query, the computing device generates an iterator object stored in volatile memory with a reference to one or more nodes and/or edges in the graph data store. The split between volatile and persistent memory allocation could be used for other objects, such as allocators and transactions. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract:
In one embodiment, a predefined behavior of a virtual machine monitor (VMM) with respect to one or more virtual machines (VMs) is identified, and processor-managed resources associated with the one or more VMs are utilized based on the predefined behavior of the VMM.
Abstract:
One embodiment of the present invention is a technique to invalidate entries in a translation lookaside buffer (TLB). A TLB in a processor has a plurality of TLB entries. Each TLB entry is associated with a virtual machine extension (VMX) tag word indicating if the associated TLB entry is invalidated according to a processor mode when an invalidation operation is performed. The processor mode is one of execution in a virtual machine (VM) and execution not in a virtual machine. The invalidation operation belongs to a non-empty set of invalidation operations composed of a union of (1) a possibly empty set of operations that invalidate a variable number of TLB entries, (2) a possibly empty set of operations that invalidate exactly one TLB entry, (3) a possibly empty set of operations that invalidate the plurality of TLB entries, (4) a possibly empty set of operations that enable and disable use of virtual memory, and (5) a possibly empty set of operations that configure physical address size, page size or other virtual memory system behavior in a manner that changes the manner in which a physical machine interprets the TLB entries.
