Abstract: A method is described that involves controlling the traffic levels through an uncore to provide thermal management for the uncore. The method including determining if an uncore's temperature in a first uncore state is above a first threshold value and changing the first uncore state to a second uncore state if the uncore temperature is above the first threshold value.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods relating to store operations are disclosed. In one embodiment, a first storage unit is to store data. A second storage unit is to store the data only after it has become detectable by a bus agent. Moreover, the second storage unit may store an index field for each data value to be stored within the second storage unit. Other embodiments are also disclosed.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a controller can perform a secure clear of a poisoned indicator associated with an uncorrectable error (after recovery from the error). To this end, the controller may access a register storing an address of a memory location associated with indicator, determine whether the address corresponds to an entry in a table storing a list of such errors, and perform the clear based at least in part on the determination. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: A store operation architecture in which store operation latency and read-for-ownership (RFO) throughput are improved. Embodiments of the invention relate to a method and apparatus to improve store performance in a microprocessor by allowing out-of-order issuance of RFO operations and more efficiently using the store buffer latency periods.

Abstract: In one aspect of the invention is a method to synchronize accesses by multiple threads to shared resources. The method entails a first thread entering a processing queue to contend for a lock on a shared resource. If a second thread exists, where the second thread is currently executing code, then the first thread may execute the critical section of code if the second thread is not currently executing the critical section; or if the second thread is currently executing the critical section of code, then the first thread may continue to contend for ownership of the shared resource until the second thread relinquishes ownership of the shared resource, or until a yield count expires.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to a system and method for providing processing capacity on demand. According to the embodiments, a processor package has a plurality of processing elements. One or more of the processing elements may be made active in response to increased demand for processing capacity based on modifiable authorization information.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method and apparatus for processing normalized meshes. The normalized meshes are formed by N polygons which have M vertices. M vertex coordinates are stored in a vertex array corresponding to the M vertices of the N polygons. N polygon indices are stored in an index array. Each of the N polygon indices references a predetermined number of the M vertex coordinates. A first subset of the index array having N1 polygon indices is determined. A second subset of the vertex array is selected such that the second subset contains M1 vertex coordinates corresponding entirely to the N1 polygon indices in the first subset. The second subset defines a window having a small size relative to the vertex array. The M1 vertex coordinates in the second subset are processed to generate processed data. The processed data are then concurrently sent to a graphics processor in an on-line manner.
