Mechanisms are provided for performing a floating point arithmetic operation in a data processing system. A plurality of floating point operands of the floating point arithmetic operation are received and bits in a mantissa of at least one floating point operand of the plurality of floating point operands are shifted. One or more bits of the mantissa that are shifted outside a range of bits of the mantissa of at least one floating point operand are stored and a vector value is generated based on the stored one or more bits of the mantissa that are shifted outside of the range of bits of the mantissa of the at least one floating point operand. A resultant value is generated for the floating point arithmetic operation based on the vector value and the plurality of floating point operands.

A technique for memory command throttling in a partitioned memory subsystem includes accepting, by a master memory controller included in multiple memory controllers, a synchronization command. The synchronization command includes command data that includes an associated synchronization indication (e.g., a synchronization bit or bits) for each of the multiple memory controllers and each of the multiple memory controllers controls a respective partition of the partitioned memory subsystem. In response to receiving the synchronization command, the master memory controller forwards the synchronization command to the multiple memory controllers. In response to receiving the forwarded synchronization command each of the multiple memory controllers de-asserts an associated status bit. In response to receiving the forwarded synchronization command, each of the multiple memory controllers determines whether the associated synchronization indication is asserted. Each of the multiple memory controllers with the asserted associated synchronization indication then transmits the forwarded synchronization command to associated power control logic.

A mechanism is provided for estimating energy/power consumption of a fixed-frequency operating mode while system is running in dynamic power management mode. For each time interval in a plurality of time intervals within a time period: a first processor identifies a modeled total nominal power value for at least one second processor during a current time interval, stores the modeled total nominal power value for the current time interval in a storage, identifies a dynamic power management mode power value for the at least one second processor in the data processing system during the current interval, and stores the dynamic power management mode power value for the current time interval in the storage. Responsive to the time period expiring, a comparison is produced of a plurality of modeled total nominal power values and a plurality of dynamic power management mode power values over the time period.

A method for increasing a capacity of a memory is provided in the illustrative embodiments. Using an application executing using a processor wherein the memory includes a set of ranks, the memory is configured to form a cold tier and a hot tier, the cold tier including a first subset of ranks from the set of ranks in the memory, and the hot tier including a second subset of ranks from the set of ranks in the memory. A determination is made whether a page to which a memory access request is directed is located in the cold tier in the memory. In response to the page being located in the cold tier of the memory, the processing of the memory access request is throttled by processing the memory access request with a delay.

According to one aspect of the present disclosure a method and technique for monitoring memory access is disclosed. The method includes monitoring, by a plurality of memory controllers, access to a memory unit, wherein each memory controller is associated with a different range of memory addresses of the memory unit, and wherein each memory controller monitors access for its associated range of memory addresses. The method also includes updating an incrementor with access data corresponding to accesses to the memory unit, wherein each memory controller updates the access data based on access of its associated range of memory addresses. The method further includes storing, by each respective memory controller, the updated access data in a cache corresponding to the respective range of memory addresses and, responsive to the updated access data for a respective range of memory addresses exceeding a threshold, storing the access data for the respective range of memory addresses in memory unit.
