摘要:
There are presented a method, device and system for allocating spill cells for an instrumentation fragment that is run on a processor that uses a register stack architecture where only one free register is available for such fragment.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for unified concurrency control in a Software Transactional Memory (STM) is herein described. A transaction record associated with a memory address referenced by a transactional memory access operation includes optimistic and pessimistic concurrency control fields. Access barriers and other transactional operations/functions are utilized to maintain both fields of the transaction record, appropriately. Consequently, concurrent execution of optimistic and pessimistic transactions is enabled.
摘要:
Suspendable load address tracking inside transactions is disclosed. An example processing device of implementations of the disclosure includes a transactional memory (TM) read set tracking component circuitry to identify a suspend read tracking instruction within a transaction executed by the processing device, mark load instructions occurring in the transaction subsequent to the identified suspend read tracking instruction with a suspend attribute, wherein the addresses corresponding to the marked load instructions are excluded from a read set maintained for the transaction, identify a resume read tracking instruction within the transaction, and stop marking the load instructions occurring subsequent to the identified resume read tracking instruction with the suspend attribute.

In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method for receiving a command to insert instrumentation code into a code segment, analyzing the code segment to determine an optimal location for the instrumentation code within the code segment, and inserting the instrumentation code at the optimal location to generate an instrumented code segment. The instrumented code segment may then be executed and may provide for improved performance over unoptimized instrumented code. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
