Abstract: A multi-cluster, multi-processor computing system performs a cache flushing method. The method begins with a cache maintenance hardware engine receiving a request from a processor to flush cache contents to a memory. In response, the cache maintenance hardware engine generates commands to flush the cache contents to thereby remove workload of generating the commands from the processors. The commands are issued to the clusters, with each command specifying a physical address that identifies a cache line to be flushed.

Abstract: A wireless device and a random access method thereof for a mobile communication system are provided. The mobile communication system defines a plurality of preambles and a plurality of preamble subsets. Each preamble subset includes a part of the preambles and the union of the preamble subsets is all of the preambles. The preamble subsets have a set inclusion relationship therebetween, i.e., the larger preamble subset includes the smaller preamble subset. The wireless devices have priority levels and the wireless devices with different priority levels can use different groups of preamble subsets. When performing the random access procedure, the wireless device selects a preamble from the smallest preamble subset corresponding to its priority level. Afterwards, when the request for random access fails, the wireless device sequentially selects a preamble from the larger preamble subset.

Abstract: A multicore processor system includes multiple processor cores. When a processor core goes offline, the offline processor core is mapped to a mapped processor core, which is selected from an emulated processor core and one or more online processor cores among the multiple processor cores. The emulated processor core is a software construct containing an emulated state of the offline processor core. When the multicore processor system receives a system call that is sent from a requestor to the offline processor core to request for system information from the offline processor core, the system call is re-directed to the mapped processor core. The system information is returned from the mapped processor core to the requestor in response to the system call.

Abstract: A computing system supports a clearance mode for its processor cores. The computing system can transition a target processor core from an active mode into a clearance mode according to a system policy. The system policy determines the number of processor cores to be in the active mode. The transitioning into the clearance mode includes the operations of migrating work from the target processor core to one or more other processor cores in the active mode in the computing system; and removing the target processor core from a scheduling configuration of the computing system to prevent task assignment to the target processor core. When the target processor core is in the clearance mode, the target processor core is maintained in an online idle state in which the target processor core performs no work.
