    摘要: An approach is provided to identify a disabled processing core and an active processing core from a set of processing cores included in a processing node. Each of the processing cores is assigned a cache memory. The approach extends a memory map of the cache memory assigned to the active processing core to include the cache memory assigned to the disabled processing core. A first amount of data that is used by a first process is stored by the active processing core to the cache memory assigned to the active processing core. A second amount of data is stored by the active processing core to the cache memory assigned to the inactive processing core using the extended memory map.

    摘要: An approach is provided to identifying cache extension sizes that correspond to different partitions that are running on a computer system. The approach extends a first hardware cache associated with a first processing core that is included in the processor's silicon substrate with a first memory allocation from a system memory area, with the system memory area being external to the silicon substrate and the first memory allocation corresponding to one of the plurality of cache extension sizes that corresponds to one of the partitions that is running on the computer system. The approach further extends a second hardware cache associated with a second processing core also included in the processor's silicon substrate with a second memory allocation from the system memory area with the second memory allocation corresponding to another of the cache extension sizes that corresponds to a different partitions that is being executed by the second processing core.

    摘要: A method, programmed medium and system are provided in which system bus traffic is moderated with real-time data. The Operating System (OS) is enabled to get information from the firmware (FW) to determine if a resource threshold has been reached. This is accomplished by generating an interrupt to flag the OS when a bus request retry rate has reached a predetermined number. The system firmware plays an integral role in this mechanism, and should be interpreted as a general term which could also include a hypervisor technology. The system firmware will report the bus request retry rate to the operating system by way of, for example, a firmware-generated interrupt. The OS may have something similar to a kernel daemon/service running to intercept the interrupt notice. In the simplest case, the daemon/service will determine if the threshold has been met based on the feedback from the firmware. If so, it will generate a system call that will moderate traffic with an operating system tunable. In one example, the number of simultaneous multithreading (SMT) threads per core will be reduced using a system call. This effectively throttles back the amount of logical threads per core and effectively alleviates the bus request saturation.

    摘要: Standalone software performance optimizer systems for hybrid systems include a hybrid system having a plurality of processors, memory operably connected to the processors, an operating system including a dispatcher loaded into the memory, a multithreaded application read into the memory, and a static performance analysis program loaded into the memory; wherein the static performance analysis program instructs at least one processor to perform static performance analysis on each of the threads, the static performance analysis program instructs at least one processor to assign each thread to a CPU class based on the static performance analysis, and the static performance analysis program instructs at least one processor to store each thread's CPU class. An embodiment of the invention may also include the dispatcher optimally mapping threads to processors using thread CPU classes and remapping threads to processors when a runtime performance analysis classifies a thread differently from the static performance analysis.
