摘要： A data processing system includes an interconnect fabric, a system memory coupled to the interconnect fabric and including a virtual barrier synchronization region allocated to storage of virtual barrier synchronization registers (VBSRs), and a plurality of processing units coupled to the interconnect fabric and operable to access the virtual barrier synchronization region of the system memory. Each of the plurality of processing units includes a processor core and a cache memory including a cache array that caches VBSR lines from the virtual barrier synchronization region of the system memory and a cache controller. The cache controller, responsive to a store request from the processor core to update a particular VBSR line, performs a non-blocking update of the cache array in each other of the plurality of processing units contemporaneously holding a copy of the particular VBSR line by transmitting a VBSR update command on the interconnect fabric.

摘要： A data processing system includes a processor core and a memory subsystem. The memory subsystem includes a store queue having a plurality of entries, where each entry includes an address field for holding the target address of store operation, a data field for holding data for the store operation, and a virtual sync field indicating a presence or absence of a synchronizing operation associated with the entry. The memory subsystem further includes a store queue controller that, responsive to receipt at the memory subsystem of a sequence of operations including a synchronizing operation and a particular store operation, places a target address and data of the particular store operation within the address field and data field, respectively, of an entry in the store queue and sets the virtual sync field of the entry to represent the synchronizing operation, such that a number of store queue entries utilized is reduced.

摘要： Analyzing pre-processed code includes identifying at least one storage-modifying construct specifying a storage-modifying memory access to a memory hierarchy of a data processing system and determining if more than one granule of a cache line of data containing multiple granules that is targeted by the storage-modifying construct is subsequently referenced by said pre-processed code. Post-processed code including a storage-modifying instruction corresponding to the at least one storage-modifying construct in the pre-processed code is generated and stored. Generating the post-processed code includes marking the storage-modifying instruction with a partial cache line hint indicating that said storage-modifying instruction targets less than a full cache line of data within a memory hierarchy if the analyzing indicates only one granule of the target cache line will be accessed while the cache line is held in the cache memory and otherwise refraining from marking the storage-modifying instruction with the partial cache line hint.

摘要： A data processing system includes at least first and second coherency domains, each including at least one processor core and a memory. In response to an initialization operation by a processor core that indicates a target memory block to be initialized, a cache memory in the first coherency domain determines a coherency state of the target memory block with respect to the cache memory. In response to the determination, the cache memory selects a scope of broadcast of an initialization request identifying the target memory block. A narrower scope including the first coherency domain and excluding the second coherency domain is selected in response to a determination of a first coherency state, and a broader scope including the first coherency domain and the second coherency domain is selected in response to a determination of a second coherency state. The cache memory then broadcasts an initialization request with the selected scope. In response to the initialization request, the target memory block is initialized within a memory of the data processing system to an initialization value.

摘要： In at least one embodiment, a method of data processing in a data processing system having a memory hierarchy includes a processor core executing a storage-modifying memory access instruction to determine a memory address. The processor core transmits to a cache memory within the memory hierarchy a storage-modifying memory access request including the memory address, an indication of a memory access type, and, if present, a partial cache line hint signaling access to less than all granules of a target cache line of data associated with the memory address. In response to the storage-modifying memory access request, the cache memory performs a storage-modifying access to all granules of the target cache line of data if the partial cache line hint is not present and performs a storage-modifying access to less than all granules of the target cache line of data if the partial cache line hint is present.

摘要： A memory lock mechanism within a multi-processor system is disclosed. A lock control section is initially assigned to a data block within a system memory of the multiprocessor system. In response to a request for accessing the data block by a processing unit within the multiprocessor system, a determination is made by a memory controller whether or not the lock control section of the data block has been set. If the lock control section of the data block has been set, the request for accessing the data block is denied. Otherwise, if the lock control section of the data block has not been set, the lock control section of the data block is set, and the request for accessing the data block is allowed.
