摘要： The present invention provides a method and apparatus for increased efficiency for translation lookaside buffers by collapsing redundant translation table entries into a single translation table entry (TTE). In the present invention, each thread of a multithreaded processor is provided with multiple context registers. Each of these context registers is compared independently to the context of the TTE. If any of the contexts match (and the other match conditions are satisfied), then the translation is allowed to proceed. Two applications attempting to share one page but that still keep separate pages can then employ three total contexts. One context is for one application's private use; one of the contexts is for the other application's private use; and a third context is for the shared page. In one embodiment of the invention, two contexts are implemented per thread. However, the teachings of the present invention can be extended to a higher number of contexts per thread.

摘要： A plurality of processors on a chip is operated in lockstep. A crossbar switch on the chip couples and decouples the plurality of processors to a plurality of banks in a level-two (L2) cache. As data is stored in a first bank of the L2 cache, the old data at that location is passed through the crossbar switch to a second bank of the L2 cache that is functioning as a first-in-first-out memory (FIFO). Thus, new data is cached at a location in the first bank of the level-two cache, i.e., stored, and old data, from that location, is logged in the second bank of the level-two cache. The logged data in the second bank is used to restore the first bank to a known prior state when necessary.

摘要翻译： 芯片上的多个处理器在锁定状态下运行。 芯片上的交叉开关将多个处理器耦合并分离到二级（L2）高速缓存中的多个存储体。 当数据存储在L2高速缓存的第一组中时，该位置处的旧数据通过交叉开关传递到作为先进先出存储器（FIFO）的L2高速缓存的第二组。 因此，新数据被缓存在二级高速缓存的第一组中的位置，即存储，并且来自该位置的旧数据被记录在二级高速缓存的第二组中。 当需要时，第二组中记录的数据用于将第一组恢复到已知的先前状态。

摘要： A random noise generator is included in the drive circuit supplying power to a system indicator that emits optical signals. The random noise generator generates a random noise signal that is introduced into a signal input to the drive circuit so that data or covert channel information is not recoverable from the optical signals emitted by the system indicator.

摘要： According to the invention, a processing core (12) comprising a processing pipeline (100) having N-number of processing paths (56), each of which process instructions (54) on M-bit data words. In addition, the processing core (12) includes one or more register files (60), each preferably having Q-number of registers which are M-bits wide. Preferably, one of the Q-number of registers in at least one of the register files (60) is a program counter register dedicated to hold a program counter, and one of the Q-number of registers in at least one of the register files is a zero register dedicated to hold a zero value. In this manner, program jumps can be executed by adding values to the program counter in the program counter register, and memory address values can be calculated by adding values to the program counter stored in the program counter register or to the zero value stored in the zero register.

The first, second and third input operand registers respectively include a number of first input operands, a number of second input operands and a number of third input operands. Each of the number of functional blocks performs a multiply accumulate operation. The output operand register includes a number of output operands. Each of the number of output operands is related to one of the number of first input operands, one of the number of second input operands and one of the number of third input operands.

摘要： A computer-based method configures a hardware circuit to transfer a message to a message queue in an operating system. The hardware circuit is used to transfer a message to the message queue in the operating system without requiring use of either the operating system or a hypervisor associated with the operating system. The using the hardware circuit uses a logical identifier associated with the message to select an entry in a mapping table of the hardware circuit. A value in the entry in the mapping table is used to select an entry in an action table. The entry in the action table is used to determine a tail pointer for the message queue. The hardware circuit appends the message to a location indicted by the tail pointer without requiring cycles of a hypervisor associated with the strand.
