摘要： Various technologies and techniques are disclosed for using transactional memory hardware to accelerate virtualization or emulation. A central processing unit is provided with the transactional memory hardware. Code backpatching can be facilitated by providing transactional memory hardware that supports a facility to maintain private memory state and an atomic commit feature. Changes made to certain code are stored in the private state facility. Backpatching changes are enacted by attempting to commit all the changes to memory at once using the atomic commit feature. An efficient call return stack can be provided by using transactional memory hardware. A call return cache stored in the private state facility captures a host address to return to after execution of a guest function completes. A direct-lookup hardware-based hash table is used for the call return cache.

摘要： Various technologies and techniques are disclosed for using transactional memory hardware to accelerate virtualization or emulation. State isolation can be facilitated by providing isolated private state on transactional memory hardware and storing the stack of a host that is performing an emulation in the isolated private state. Memory accesses performed by a central processing unit can be monitored by software to detect that a guest being emulated has made a self modification to its own code sequence. Transactional memory hardware can be used to facilitate dispatch table updates in multithreaded environments by taking advantage of the atomic commit feature. An emulator is provided that uses a dispatch table stored in main memory to convert a guest program counter into a host program counter. The dispatch table is accessed to see if the dispatch table contains a particular host program counter for a particular guest program counter.

摘要： Various technologies and techniques are disclosed for using transactional memory hardware to accelerate virtualization or emulation. One or more central processing units are provided with transactional memory hardware that is operable to accelerate virtualization. The transactional memory hardware has a facility to maintain private state, a facility to render memory accesses from other central processing units visible to software, and support for atomic commit of the private state. The transactional memory hardware can be used, for example, to facilitate emulation of precise exception semantics. The private state is operable to enable an emulated state to remain inconsistent with an architectural state and only synchronized on certain boundaries. An optimized sequence of instructions is executed using chunk-accurate simulation to try and achieve a same end effect.

摘要： A computing device hosts a virtual machine executing a guest that issues guest hardware requests by way of any of a plurality of paths. Such paths include a path to non-existent virtual hardware, where an emulator intercepts and processes such guest hardware request with a corresponding actual hardware command; a path to an instantiated operating system, where the instantiated operating system processes each such guest hardware request with a corresponding actual hardware request; and a path to device hardware, where the device hardware directly processes each such guest hardware request.

摘要： According to the present disclosure, users can have PC experiences on game consoles. For example, a game console can become a computing device dedicated to a server PC. PC capabilities, applications, programs, and even desktops can be remoted from the server PC to the game console, cached on the game console, and displayed on the game console display. Moreover, any devices native to either the server PC or the game console can be easily shared between the server PC and the console. Alternatively, a game console can be a concurrent computing device with a server PC, where only minimal content is stored on the gaming console, and minimal applications are remoted from the server PC to the game console. In either the dedicated or remoted case, various common features may be used, such as notifications sent from the server PC to the game console.

摘要： Technology disclosed herein automatically focus a camera based on eye tracking. Techniques include tracking an eye gaze of eyes to determine a location at which the user is focusing. Then, a camera lens may be focused on that location. In one aspect, a first vector that corresponds to a first direction in which a first eye of a user is gazing at a point in time is determined. A second vector that corresponds to a second direction in which a second eye of the user is gazing at the point in time is determined. A location of an intersection of the first vector and the second vector is determined. A distance between the location of intersection and a location of a lens of the camera is determined. The lens is focused based on the distance. The lens could be focused based on a single eye vector and a depth image.
