    摘要: Systems, methods and computer program products may provide managing utilization of one or more physical processors in a shared processor pool. A method of managing utilization of one or more physical processors in a shared processor pool may include determining a current amount of utilization of the one or more physical processors and generating an instruction message. The instruction message may be at least partially determined by the current amount of utilization. The method may further include sending the instruction message to a guest operating system, the guest operating system having a number of enabled virtual processors.

    摘要: Management of a UNIX-style storage pools is enhanced by specially managing one or more memory management inodes associated with pinned and allocated pages of data storage by providing indirect access to the pinned and allocated pages by one or more user processes via a handle, while preventing direct access of the pinned and allocated pages by the user processes without use of the handles; scanning periodically hardware status bits in the inodes to determine which of the pinned and allocated pages have been recently accessed within a pre-determined period of time; requesting via a callback communication to each user process to determine which of the least-recently accessed pinned and allocated pages can be either deallocated or defragmented and compacted; and responsive to receiving one or more page indicators of pages unpinned by the user processes, compacting or deallocating one or more pages corresponding to the page indicators.

Direct access of the pinned and allocated pages by the user processes without use of the handles is prevented. Hardware status bits in the inodes are scanned to determine which pinned and allocated pages have been recently accessed and callback communication to each user process is used to determine which of the least-recently accessed pages can be deallocated, defragmented and compacted.

    摘要: The present invention provides a computer implemented method and apparatus to assign software threads to a common virtual processor of a data processing system having multiple virtual processors. A data processing system detects cooperation between a first thread and a second thread with respect to a lock associated with a resource of the data processing system. Responsive to detecting cooperation, the data processing system assigns the first thread to the common virtual processor. The data processing system moves the second thread to the common virtual processor, whereby a sleep time associated with the lock experienced by the first thread and the second thread is reduced below a sleep time experienced prior to the detecting cooperation step.

    摘要: Embodiments of the invention provide a method, apparatus and computer program product for enabling a thread to acquire a lock associated with a shared resource, when a locking mechanism is used therewith, wherein each embodiment reduces waiting time and enhances efficiency in using the shared resource. One embodiment is associated with a plurality of processors, which includes two or more processors that each provides a specified thread to access a shared resource. The shared resource can only be accessed by one thread at a given time, a locking mechanism enables a first one of the specified threads to access the shared resource while each of the other specified threads is retained in a waiting queue, and a second one of the specified threads occupies a position of highest priority in the queue. The method includes the step of identifying a time period between a time when the first specified thread releases access to the shared resource, and a later time when the second specified thread becomes enabled to access the shared resource. Responsive to an additional thread that is not one of the specified threads being provided by a processor to access the shared resource during the identified time period, it is determined whether a first prespecified criterion pertaining to the specified threads retained in the queue has been met. Responsive to the first criterion being met, the method determines whether a second prespecified criterion has been met, wherein the second criterion is that the number of specified threads in the queue has not decreased since a specified prior time. Responsive to the second criterion being met, the method then decides whether to enable the additional thread to access the shared resource before the second specified thread accesses the resource.
