摘要： Methods, data structures, instructions, and techniques for structured exception handling for user-level threads in a multi-threading system are provided. Registered filter routines may be dispatched to a thread unit not managed by the operating system (OS). The dispatch may occur by allowing an OS-managed thread unit (proxy) to invoke the OS-provided structured exception handling service (including dispatcher) on behalf of the sequestered thread unit. Alternatively, an OS-managed thread unit may include dispatch code and may, without OS intervention, dispatch the filter routine to the sequestered thread unit. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

摘要： Disclosed are embodiments of a system, methods and mechanism for management and translation of mapping between logical sequencer addresses and physical or logical sequencers in a multi-sequencer multithreading system. A mapping manager may manage assignment and mapping of logical sequencer addresses or pages to actual sequencers or frames of the system. Rationing logic associated with the mapping manager may take into account sequencer attributes when such mapping is performed Relocation logic associated with the mapping manager may manage spill and fill of context information to/from a backing store when re-mapping actual sequencers. Sequencers may be allocated singly, or may be allocated as part of partitioned blocks. The mapping manager may also include translation logic that provides an identifier for the mapped sequencer each time a logical sequencer address is used in a user program. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

摘要： A software-implemented method for dynamically and statically privatizing global storage objects in parallel computer programs written in various programming languages. Privatization is accomplished via transformation of these parallel computer programs under the control of a general purpose computer. The privatization method is system-independent and is portable across various computer architectures and platforms since privatization is accomplished via program transformation; thus, the method does not depend on the features of a particular hardware architecture or configuration, operating system, compiler, linker, or thread environment. The inputs to the method are a parallel computer program, comprising parallel regions of execution and global storage objects, and a privatization specification describing the global storage objects to be privatized and the particular parallel regions, and manner, in which each of these objects is to be privatized. The privatization method itself translates the input parallel computer program into a second parallel computer program, according to the privatization specification, such that the second parallel computer program, when executed, accesses the specified global storage objects in a privatized manner, without requiring any explicit programmer modifications to the input parallel computer program.

摘要： A software-implemented method for validating the correctness of parallel computer programs, written in various programming languages, with respect to these programs' corresponding sequential computer programs. Validation detects errors that could cause parallel computer programs to behave incorrectly or to produce incorrect results, and is accomplished by transforming these parallel computer programs under the control of a general purpose computer and sequentially executing the resulting transformed programs. The validation method is system-independent and is portable across various computer architectures and platforms since validation is accomplished via program transformation; thus, the method does not depend on the features of a particular hardware architecture or configuration, operating system, compiler, linker, or thread environment. The input to the validation method is a parallel computer program. The parallel computer program results from annotating its corresponding sequential computer program with a parallelism specification; the annotations describe constraints in the sequential program to be relaxed to allow the exploitation of parallelism. Validation is accomplished by detecting semantic inconsistencies between the parallel computer program and its corresponding sequential computer program. The validation method translates the input parallel computer program into a second, sequential computer program such that the second sequential computer program, when executed, detects and reports the semantic inconsistencies between the parallel computer program and its corresponding sequential computer program.
