Abstract: Methods and apparatus implementing Hardware/Software co-optimization to improve performance and energy for inter-VM communication for NFVs and other producer-consumer workloads. The apparatus include multi-core processors with multi-level cache hierarchies including and L1 and L2 cache for each core and a shared last-level cache (LLC). One or more machine-level instructions are provided for proactively demoting cachelines from lower cache levels to higher cache levels, including demoting cachelines from L1/L2 caches to an LLC. Techniques are also provided for implementing hardware/software co-optimization in multi-socket NUMA architecture system, wherein cachelines may be selectively demoted and pushed to an LLC in a remote socket. In addition, techniques are disclosure for implementing early snooping in multi-socket systems to reduce latency when accessing cachelines on remote sockets.

Abstract: Examples may include techniques to enable synchronized execution of a command by nodes in a network fabric. A node capable of hosting a fabric manager for the network fabric (fabric manager node) may generate one or more packets including a command to be executed by at least some nodes in the network fabric. In some examples, a time stamp is also included with at least one of the one or more packets to indicate to receiving nodes to execute the command at a synchronized time.

Abstract translation: 实现硬件/软件协同优化的方法和设备，以提高NFV和其他生产者 - 消费者工作负载之间的VM间通信的性能和能量。 该装置包括具有多级缓存层级的多核处理器，包括每个核心的L1和L2高速缓存以及共享的最后一级缓存（LLC）。 提供了一个或多个机器级指令，用于主动地将高速缓存行从低级缓存级别降级到更高的高速缓存级别，包括将高速缓存行从L1 / L2高速缓存降级到LLC。 还提供了用于在多插槽NUMA架构系统中实现硬件/软件协同优化的技术，其中高速缓存线可以被选择性地降级并被推送到远程插座中的LLC。 此外，技术是在多插槽系统中实现早期窥探的技术，以减少在远程插槽上访问高速缓存线时的延迟。
