摘要:
A system, and computer usable program product for fast remote communication and computation between processors are provided in the illustrative embodiments. A direct core to core communication unit (DCC) is configured to operate with a first processor, the first processor being a remote processor. A memory associated with the DCC receives a set of bytes, the set of bytes being sent from a second processor. An operation specified in the set of bytes is executed at the remote processor such that the operation is invoked without causing a software thread to execute.

摘要:
A method, system, and computer usable program product for improved register allocation in a simultaneous multithreaded processor. A determination is made that a thread of an application in the data processing environment needs more physical registers than are available to allocate to the thread. The thread is configured to utilize a logical register that is mapped to a memory register. The thread is executed utilizing the physical registers and the memory registers.
摘要:
A system and method for cache management in a data processing system. The data processing system includes a processor and a memory hierarchy. The memory hierarchy includes at least an upper memory cache, at least a lower memory cache, and a write-back data structure. In response to replacing data from the upper memory cache, the upper memory cache examines the write-back data structure to determine whether or not the data is present in the lower memory cache. If the data is present in the lower memory cache, the data is replaced in the upper memory cache without casting out the data to the lower memory cache.

摘要:
A method of accessing data from a cache is disclosed. Tag bits of data among sets and ways of cache lines are divided into common subtags and remaining subtags. Similarly, an access address tag is divided into an address common subtag and address remaining tag. When the index of an access address selects a set, a match comparison of the address common subtag and the selected set common subtag is performed. Also, the address remaining tag and selected set remaining subtags are compared for matching before the selected set and associated data is supplied to the requester.
摘要:
Mechanisms are provided for processing an instruction in a processor of a data processing system. The mechanisms operate to receive, in a processor of the data processing system, an instruction, the instruction including power/performance tradeoff information associated with the instruction. The mechanisms further operate to determine power/performance tradeoff priorities or criteria, specifying whether power conservation or performance is prioritized with regard to execution of the instruction, based on the power/performance tradeoff information. Moreover, the mechanisms process the instruction in accordance with the power/performance tradeoff priorities or criteria identified based on the power/performance tradeoff information of the instruction.

Mechanisms are provided for inhibiting precharging of memory cells of a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) structure. The mechanisms receive a command for accessing memory cells of the DRAM structure. The mechanisms further determine, based on the command, if precharging the memory cells following accessing the memory cells is to be inhibited. Moreover, the mechanisms send, in response to the determination indicating that precharging the memory cells is to be inhibited, a command to blocking logic of the DRAM structure to block precharging of the memory cells following accessing the memory cells.
摘要:
A modular processing module is provided. The modular processing module comprises a set of processing module sides. Each processing module side comprises a circuit board, a plurality of connectors coupled to the circuit board, and a plurality of processing nodes coupled to the circuit board. Each processing module side in the set of processing module sides couples to another processing module side using at least one connector in the plurality of connectors such that, when all of the set of processing module sides are coupled together, the modular processing module is formed. The modular processing module comprises an exterior connection to a power source and a communication system.
