摘要： Systems and methods for write allocation by a two-level memory controller. An example processing system comprises: a processing core; a memory controller communicatively coupled to the processing core; and a system memory communicatively coupled to the memory controller, the system memory comprising a first level memory and a second level memory; wherein the memory controller is configured, responsive to determining that a memory block referenced by a memory write request is not present in the first level memory, to allocate a new first level memory block without retrieving the memory block referenced by the request from the second level memory, wherein the memory write request is represented by an overwrite type memory write request.

摘要： Multi-level memory architecture technologies are described. One processor includes a requesting unit, a first memory interface to couple to a far memory (FM), a second memory interface to couple to a near memory (NM) and a multi-level memory controller (MLMC) coupled to the requesting unit, the first memory interface and the second memory interface. The MLMC is to write data into a memory page of NM in response to a request from the requesting unit to retrieve the memory page from FM. The MLMC receives a hint from the requesting unit and clears a writeback bit for the memory page indicated in the hint. The hint indicates that the data contained in the memory page of the NM is not to be subsequently requested by the requesting unit. The MLMC starts a writeback operation of a memory sector including the memory page and one or more additional memory pages. The writeback operation is to transfer the data contained in the memory page from the NM to the FM when the writeback bit is set and the writeback operation does is not to transfer the data contained in the memory page from NM to the FM when the writeback bit is cleared.

摘要： A processing device comprises an instruction execution unit, a memory agent and pinning logic to pin memory pages in a multi-level memory system upon request by the memory agent. The pinning logic includes an agent interface module to receive, from the memory agent, a pin request indicating a first memory page in the multi-level memory system, the multi-level memory system comprising a near memory and a far memory. The pinning logic further includes a memory interface module to retrieve the first memory page from the far memory and write the first memory page to the near memory. In addition, the pinning logic also includes a descriptor table management module to mark the first memory page as pinned in the near memory, wherein marking the first memory page as pinned comprises setting a pinning bit corresponding to the first memory page in a cache descriptor table and to prevent the first memory page from being evicted from the near memory when the first memory page is marked as pinned.

摘要： An architecture and method for managing at least two distinct machines (or objects) in which resources are shared as a single entity (or object) in an agent-based system. The agent-based system comprising a controller, a local agent coupled to the controller, and at least one clustered machine. The at least one clustered machine includes at least two individual agents, the at least two individual agents sharing at least one shared resource/service. The system also includes a virtual non-persistent connection for coupling the at least two individual agents to the local agent. The at least one shared resource/service is accessed by the local agent through the virtual non-persistent connection using a virtual IP address to enable the at least two individual agents of the at least one clustered machine to be represented as a single object.

摘要： Remapping technologies for execution context swap between heterogeneous functional hardware units are described. A computing system includes multiple registers configured to store remote contexts of functional units. A mapping table maps the remote context to the functional units. An execution unit is configured to execute a remapping tool that intercepts an operation to access a remote context of a first functional unit of the plurality of functional units that is taken offline. The remapping tool determines that the first functional unit is remapped to a second functional unit using the mapping table. The operation is performed to access the remote context that is remapped to the second functional unit. The first functional unit and the second functional unit may be heterogeneous functional units.
