20110320723	METHOD AND SYSTEM TO REDUCE THE POWER CONSUMPTION OF A MEMORY DEVICE - A method and system to reduce the power consumption of a memory device. In one embodiment of the invention, the memory device is a N-way set-associative level one (L1) cache memory and there is logic coupled with the data cache memory to facilitate access to only part of the N-ways of the N-way set-associative L1 cache memory in response to a load instruction or a store instruction.

20100169579	READ AND WRITE MONITORING ATTRIBUTES IN TRANSACTIONAL MEMORY (TM) SYSTEMS - A method and apparatus for monitoring memory accesses in hardware to support transactional execution is herein described. Attributes are monitor accesses to data items without regard for detection at physical storage structure granularity, but rather ensuring monitoring at least at data items granularity. As an example, attributes are added to state bits of a cache to enable new cache coherency states. Upon a monitored memory access to a data item, which may be selectively determined, coherency states associated with the data item are updated to a monitored state. As a result, invalidating requests to the data item are detected through combination of the request type and the monitored coherency state of the data item.	07-01-2010
20100169581	EXTENDING CACHE COHERENCY PROTOCOLS TO SUPPORT LOCALLY BUFFERED DATA - A method and apparatus for extending cache coherency to hold buffered data to support transactional execution is herein described. A transactional store operation referencing an address associated with a data item is performed in a buffered manner. Here, the coherency state associated with cache lines to hold the data item are transitioned to a buffered state. In response to local requests for the buffered data item, the data item is provided to ensure internal transactional sequential ordering. However, in response to external access requests, a miss response is provided to ensure the transactionally updated data item is not made globally visible until commit. Upon commit, the buffered lines are transitioned to a modified state to make the data item globally visible.	07-01-2010

20100169382	METAPHYSICAL ADDRESS SPACE FOR HOLDING LOSSY METADATA IN HARDWARE - A method and apparatus for metaphysical address space for holding lossy metadata is herein described. An explicit or implicit metadata access operation referencing data address of a data item is encountered. Hardware modifies the data address to a metadata address including a metaphysical extension. The metaphysical extension overlays one or more metaphysical address space(s) on the data address space. A portion of the metadata address including the metaphysical extension is utilized to search a tag array of the cache memory holding the data item. As a result, metadata access operations only hit metadata entries of the cache based on the metadata address extension. However, as the metadata is held within the cache, the metadata potentially competes with data for space within the cache.	07-01-2010
