摘要:
A shared memory multiprocessor (SMP) has efficient access to a main memory included in a particular node and a management of partitions that include the nodes. In correspondence with each page of main memory included in a node, a bit stored in a register indicates if the page has been accessed from any other node. In a case where the bit is “0”, a cache coherent command to be sent to the other nodes is not transmitted. The bit is reset by software at the time of initialization and memory allocation, and it is set by hardware when the page of the main memory is accessed from any other node. In a case where the interior of an SMP is divided into partitions, the main memory of each node is divided into local and shared areas, for which respectively separate addresses can be designated. In each node, the configuration information items of the shared area and the local area are stored in registers. The command of access to the shared area is multicast to all of the nodes, whereas the command is multicast only to the nodes within the corresponding partition when the local area is accessed.

In an information processing apparatus having a crossbar switch, registers are provided for logical division of a connection of the crossbar switch into a plurality of groups, in order to allow a system to change the group division configuration while the system is in an ordinary operation. As an application of this, in a hot standby system, when a fault occurs in an active partition and the active partition is replaced by a standby partition, the standby partition is allowed to include system resources used by the active partition such as CPU's and memories.

摘要:
Thin film perpendicular magnetic head with a narrow main pole capable of a high recording density in excess of 100 gigabits per square inch and generating a high magnetic recording field, while also being modified to suppress remanent magnetic fields occurring immediately after writing operation. A return path is provided for supplying a magnetic flux to the main pole, and an conductive coil for excitation of the main pole and return path. The main pole has a pole width of 200 nanometers or less, and a magnetic multilayer made up of a high saturation flux density layer and low saturation flux density layer. The low saturation flux density layer and the high saturation flux density suppress remanent magnetization and prevent erasing after writing by utilizing a closed magnetic domain structure in the pole.
