20100042787CACHE INJECTION DIRECTING TOOL - A method for directing cache injection based on actual system load may include providing a snooping-based fabric having two or more bus-coupled units. At least one of the bus-coupled units may be configured as an injection unit for directing cache injection. A snoop request may be transmitted from the injection unit to one or more destination units of the other bus-coupled unit. The snoop request may include an identification value having a function identifier. The function identifier may identify a destination function for the cache injection, where the destination function is configured to run on the destination unit. A snoop response may be transmitted from the destination unit to the injection unit in response to the snoop request. The snoop response may include a function response value indicating whether the function identifier matches a function indication of a snoop register for the destination unit.02-18-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110131581Scheduling Virtual Interfaces - A mechanism is provided for scheduling virtual interfaces having at least one virtual interface scheduler, a virtual interface context cache and a pipeline with a number of processing units. The virtual interface scheduler is configured to send a lock request for a respective virtual interface to the virtual interface context cache. The virtual interface context cache is configured to lock a virtual interface context of the respective virtual interface and to send a lock token to the virtual interface scheduler in dependence on said lock request. The virtual interface context cache configured to hold a current lock token for the respective virtual interface context and to unlock the virtual interface context, if a lock token of an unlock request received from the pipeline matches the held current lock token.06-02-2011

20100205379CACHE-LINE BASED NOTIFICATION - Embodiments of the invention provide a method, system, and computer program product for cache-line based notification. An embodiment of the method comprises injecting a cache-line including notification information into a cache of a processing unit, marking the cache-line as having the notification information, and using the notification information to notify a processing thread of the presence of the cache-line in the cache. In an embodiment, the cache-line identifies a thread affiliation. In an embodiment, a multitude of threads operate in the processing unit, and the using includes notifying a plurality of these threads of the presence of the cache-line in the cache, and analyzing the cache-line to identify this plurality of threads. The cache may include a plurality of cache-lines, each of which includes a notification, and the processing unit thread uses these notifications to form a linked list of at least some of the cache-lines.08-12-2010
20100223624METHOD FOR PUSHING WORK REQUEST-ASSOCIATED CONTEXTS INTO AN IO DEVICE - A system and method employing the system for pushing work request associated contexts into a computer device includes issuing a request to a device in a computer system. Context data is fetched from a data storage device for the device. Context is determined for specified data requests, and context misses in the device are predicted. The system and method then initiates a context push and pushes the context into the device using a controller when a context miss is detected. Thereby, reducing the context miss latency time or delay in retrieving context data.09-02-2010

20080271559Turn-actuator with tensile element of shape memory alloy - A turn-actuator possesses a rotatably placed driven element, which turns about an axis of rotation and has at least a first and a second tensile element of a shape memory alloy. The first and second tensile elements are affixed to the driven element, whereby the directions of rotation from torques generated by the contractions of the first and the second tensile elements act upon the driven element in opposite directions.11-06-2008
