摘要： A processor provides memory request and a coherency state value for a coherency granule associated with a memory request. The processor further provides either a first indicator or a second indicator depending on whether the coherency state value represents a cumulative coherency state for a plurality of caches of the processor. The first indicator and the second indicator identify the coherency state value as representing a cumulative coherency state or a potentially non-cumulative coherency state, respectively. If the second indicator is provided, a transaction management module determines whether to request the cumulative coherency state for the coherency granule in response to receiving the second indicator. The transaction management module then provides an indicator of the request for the cumulative coherency state to the processor in response to determining to request the cumulative coherency state. Otherwise, the transaction management module processes the memory transaction without requesting the cumulative coherency state.

摘要： A processing system includes a plurality of coherency domains and a plurality of coherency agents. Each coherency agent is associated with at least one of the plurality of coherency domains. At a select coherency agent of the plurality of coherency agents, an address translation for a coherency message is performed using a first memory address to generate a second memory address. A select coherency domain of the plurality of coherency domains associated with the coherency message is determined at the select coherency agent based on the address translation. The coherency message and a coherency domain identifier of the select coherency domain are provided by the select coherency agent to a coherency interconnect for distribution to at least one of the plurality of coherency agents based on the coherency domain identifier.

摘要： A system is used to determine if a sum of a first operand and a second operand is the same as a third operand wherein a comparison to the third operand is of variable length. This is particularly useful in a content addressable memory (CAM) where the likelihood of hit is commonly improved over a set associative cache and allows for the CAM to identify different things. For example, an entry can be one length to identify a page of a memory and another entry be a different length to identify a page of memory. This is better understood by reference to the following description and the drawings.

摘要： In a data processing system, a marked bit is used to identify a data access instruction throughout the pipeline to indicate that the instruction meets user-specified criteria (e.g., a meets a data address range of interest). Based on the marked bit, an in-order program correlation message is generated which indicates when the data access instruction occurs relative to the instruction stream. The marked bit is also used to generate an in-order data trace message. As a result, the trace streams including only data access instructions meeting user-specified criteria may be post-processed and correlated precisely.

摘要： A method and device for locking a cache line of a cache is disclosed. The method includes automatically changing a state of a cache line from a valid locked state to an invalid locked state in response to receiving an indication that a memory location external to the cache and corresponding to the cache line is associated with an access request by a processor or other data access module. Thus, the locked state of a cache line is maintained even after data in the locked cache line is invalidated. By maintaining the invalid locked state, the cache line is not available for reallocation by the cache. This allows locked cache lines that become invalidated to remain locked without additional software overhead to periodically determine whether the lock has been lost due to invalidation of the cache line.
摘要翻译： 公开了一种用于锁定高速缓存的高速缓存行的方法和设备。 该方法包括响应于接收到高速缓存行外部的对应于高速缓存行的存储器位置与处理器的访问请求相关联的指示，自动将高速缓存行的状态从有效锁定状态改变为无效锁定状态 或其他数据访问模块。 因此，即使在锁定的高速缓存行中的数据无效之后，也保持高速缓存行的锁定状态。 通过保持无效的锁定状态，高速缓存行不可用于高速缓存的重新分配。 这允许被锁定的高速缓存行保持锁定，而不需要额外的软件开销来定期确定锁是否由于高速缓存行的无效而丢失。

摘要： A technique for scheduling execution of threads at a processor is disclosed. The technique includes executing a thread de-emphasis instruction of a thread that de-emphasizes the thread until the number of pending memory transactions, such as cache misses, associated with the thread are at or below a threshold. While the thread is de-emphasized, other threads at the processor that have a higher priority can be executed or assigned system resources. Accordingly, the likelihood of a stall in the processor is reduced.
摘要翻译： 公开了一种用于在处理器处调度线程执行的技术。 该技术包括执行线程的线程去加重指令，其不强调线程，直到与该线程相关联的等待存储器事务（例如高速缓存未命中）的数量处于或低于阈值。 当该线程被去加强时，处理器中具有较高优先级的其他线程可以执行或分配系统资源。 因此，处理器中失速的可能性降低。
