Publication number: 20230184520Abstract: The invention discloses an apparatus that enables a user to shoot multiple targets, both stationary and moving, consisting of a structure having three sides, optionally enclosed, and an open side to form an interior supporting primary targets and having a top supporting secondary targets. Primary targets, rotatably affixed to a target bar spanning the open side, have projections on the back which, upon impact, rotate to impact a secondary target positioned on the top of the apparatus. The impact uses the kinetic energy to launch the secondary target contained within a secondary target holder positioned on the top of the apparatus and open to the interior. The projections are dimensioned to have sufficient contact to launch the secondary target without getting embedded in the secondary target holder. The projection can be either permanently or removably affixed to the back of the targets and can, when removable, permit weight variations.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 12, 2022Publication date: June 15, 2023Inventor: James Moyer

Patent number: 11669457Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for generating a measurement of write memory bandwidth are disclosed. A control unit monitors writes to a cache hierarchy. If a write to a cache line is a first time that the cache line is being modified since entering the cache hierarchy, then the control unit increments a write memory bandwidth counter. Otherwise, if the write is to a cache line that has already been modified since entering the cache hierarchy, then the write memory bandwidth counter is not incremented. The first write to a cache line is a proxy for write memory bandwidth since this will eventually cause a write to memory. The control unit uses the value of the write memory bandwidth counter to generate a measurement of the write memory bandwidth. Also, the control unit can maintain multiple counters for different thread classes to calculate the write memory bandwidth per thread class.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2021Date of Patent: June 6, 2023Inventors: Paul James Moyer, Douglas Benson Hunt

Patent number: 11561895Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for dynamically adjusting cache policies to reduce execution core wait time are disclosed. A processor includes a cache subsystem. The cache subsystem includes one or more cache levels and one or more cache controllers. A cache controller partitions a cache level into two test portions and a remainder portion. The cache controller applies a first policy to the first test portion and applies a second policy to the second test portion. The cache controller determines the amount of time the execution core spends waiting on accesses to the first and second test portions. If the measured wait time is less for the first test portion than for the second test portion, then the cache controller applies the first policy to the remainder portion. Otherwise, the cache controller applies the second policy to the remainder portion.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2019Date of Patent: January 24, 2023Assignee: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.Inventor: Paul James Moyer

Publication number: 20220100686Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for routing interrupts on a coherency probe network are disclosed. A computing system includes a plurality of processing nodes, a coherency probe network, and one or more control units. The coherency probe network carries coherency probe messages between coherent agents. Interrupts that are detected by a control unit are converted into messages that are compatible with coherency probe messages and then routed to a target destination via the coherency probe network. Interrupts are generated with a first encoding while coherency probe messages have a second encoding. Cache subsystems determine whether a message received via the coherency probe network is an interrupt message or a coherency probe message based on an encoding embedded in the received message. Interrupt messages are routed to interrupt controller(s) while coherency probe messages are processed in accordance with a coherence probe action field embedded in the message.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 10, 2021Publication date: March 31, 2022Inventors: Vydhyanathan Kalyanasundharam, Eric Christopher Morton, Bryan P.

Publication number: 20220058025Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for arbitrating threads in a computing system are disclosed. A computing system includes a processor with multiple cores, each capable of simultaneously processing instructions of multiple threads. When a thread throttling unit receives an indication that a shared cache has resource contention, the throttling unit sets a threshold number of cache misses for the cache. If the number of cache misses exceeds this threshold, then the throttling unit notifies a particular upstream computation unit to throttle the processing of instructions for the thread. After a time period elapses, if the cache continues to exceed the threshold, then the throttling unit notifies the upstream computation unit to more restrictively throttle the thread by performing one or more of reducing the selection rate and increasing the time period. Otherwise, the unit notifies the upstream computation unit to less restrictively throttle the thread.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 5, 2021Publication date: February 24, 2022Inventors: Paul James Moyer, Douglas Benson Hunt, Kai Troester

Publication number: 20220050785Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for employing system probe filter aware last level cache insertion bypassing policies are disclosed. A system includes a plurality of processing nodes, a probe filter, and a shared cache. The probe filter monitors a rate of recall probes that are generated, and if the rate is greater than a first threshold, then the system initiates a cache partitioning and monitoring phase for the shared cache. Accordingly, the cache is partitioned into two portions. If the hit rate of a first portion is greater than a second threshold, then a second portion will have a non-bypass insertion policy since the cache is relatively useful in this scenario. However, if the hit rate of the first portion is less than or equal to the second threshold, then the second portion will have a bypass insertion policy since the cache is less useful in this case.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 29, 2021Publication date: February 17, 2022Inventors: Paul James Moyer, Jay Fleischman
