Abstract: An apparatus including a CPU core and a L1 cache subsystem coupled to the CPU core. The L1 cache subsystem includes a L1 main cache, a L1 victim cache, and a L1 controller. The apparatus includes a L2 cache subsystem coupled to the L1 cache subsystem. The L2 cache subsystem includes a L2 main cache, a shadow L1 main cache, a shadow L1 victim cache, and a L2 controller. The L2 controller receives an indication from the L1 controller that a cache line A is being relocated from the L1 main cache to the L1 victim cache; in response to the indication, update the shadow L1 main cache to reflect that the cache line A is no longer located in the L1 main cache; and in response to the indication, update the shadow L1 victim cache to reflect that the cache line A is located in the L1 victim cache.

Abstract: A method is used for managing overlapping communications regarding downtiering and invalidating cached data among nodes in a storage system. The method includes identifying, by a node, data to downtier. The node adds the data to an in progress table, and sends a request for permission to downtier the data to a peer node. The node receives permission from the peer node to downtier the data. In response to the permission to downtier the data, the node checks the in progress table for the data and takes an action based on a result of checking the in progress table.

Abstract: An oral methylphenidate extended release tablet is described, which can be scored and still retain its extended release profile. The tablet contains a combination of an uncoated methylphenidate - ion exchange resin complex, a barrier coated methylphenidate - ion exchange resin complex -matrix, and an uncomplexed methylphenidate active component. Following administration of a single dose of the extended release methylphenidate chewable tablet, a therapeutically effective amount of methylphenidate is reached in less than about 20 minutes and the composition provides a twelve-hour extended release profile.
