摘要:
A method, a memory controller and a processor architecture for protecting an application in a memory are disclosed. The application is cached as memory lines according to a size of a cache line. For example, the method comprises: in response to a load access request from a processor, reading from the memory a flagged memory line and an ECC checksum corresponding to the memory line, wherein the flagged memory line is obtained by performing a logic operation on a predetermined bit of the memory line and a flag bit for identifying the memory line; performing an ECC check on the flagged memory line by using the ECC checksum to obtain a value of the flag bit of the memory line; restoring the flagged memory line to the memory line according to the value of the flag bit; and determining whether or not to load the memory line according to the value of the flag bit and the type of the load access request from the processor.
摘要:
A method and an apparatus for concomitance scheduling a work thread and assistant threads associated with the work thread in a multi-threading processor system. The method includes: searching one or more assistant threads associated with the running of the work thread when preparing to run/schedule the work thread; running the one or more assistant threads that are searched; and running the work thread after all of the one or more assistant threads associated with the running of the work thread have run.
摘要:
A computer-implemented method, an accelerator hardware unit, and an article of manufacture for supporting virtual machine migration. The method includes: acquiring a task request from a task queue of an accelerator hardware unit; extracting identification information of a related virtual machine from the task request; determining whether the identification information of the related virtual machine matches the identification information of a virtual machine to be migrated, where the identification information of a virtual machine to be migrated is recorded in a virtual machine identification information table; and deleting the task request from the task queue if the extracted identification information matches the identification information of a virtual machine to be migrated.

Provided is a hardware accelerator, central processing unit, and computing device. A hardware accelerator includes a task accelerating unit configured to, in response to a request for a new task issued by a hardware thread, accelerate the processing of the new task and produce a processing result for the task; a task time prediction unit configured to predict the total waiting time of the new task for returning to a specified address associated with the hardware thread. One aspect of this disclosure makes the hardware thread aware of the time to be waited for before getting a processing result, facilitating its task planning accordingly.

The present disclosure provides a method, device, and system for processing a request in a multi-core system. The method comprises steps of: receiving a request for data by a filter from a requesting unit; comparing an indicator indicative of a logical partition in the request with an indicator indicative of the logical partition in a record of the filter; searching in a unit where the filter is located based on the request and returning a search result to the requesting unit if a comparison result matches; and returning a NONE response to the requesting unit from the filter if the comparison result does not match.

Provided is a hardware accelerator and method, central processing unit, and computing device. A hardware accelerating method includes, in response to a request for a new task issued by a hardware thread, accelerating processing of the new task and producing a processing result for the task. A predicting step predicts total waiting time of the new task for returning to a specified address associated with the hardware thread.

摘要:
The present invention provides a method, apparatus and article of manufacture, for fast context saving in transactional memory. The method creates a mapping table that includes entries corresponding to architectural registers. Each entry includes a physical register index and shadow bit of a first physical register mapped to an architectural register. In response to a detection that an update occurs to an architectural register in a transaction and its shadow bit being an invalid value, the method sets the shadow bit to be a valid value and sets a shadow register for the architectural register using the physical register index of the first physical register. The method maps a second physical register to the shadow register in order to save a modified value generated by an update process and saves the original value before the update process by use of the first physical register corresponding to the architecture register.
