  • Publication number: 20200356485
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for a computer system comprising a plurality of processor cores, wherein a cached data item is assigned to a first core of the processor cores for exclusively executing an atomic primitive by the first core. The method comprises, while the execution of the atomic primitive is not completed by the first core, receiving from a second core at a cache controller a request for accessing the data item. In response to determining that a second request of the data item is received from a third core, of the plurality of processor cores, before receiving the request of the second core, a rejection message may be returned to the second core.

  • Publication number: 20160188254
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to lifecycle management of solid state memory adaptors. Aspects of the invention include monitoring a remaining life of each of a plurality of solid state memory adaptors in a system and creating a log of a wearing of each of the plurality of solid state memory adaptors. Aspects further include transmitting the log to a service element and receiving a supplemental data from the service element and determining a threshold value for each of the plurality of solid state memory adaptors. Based on determining that the remaining life of one of the plurality of solid state memory adaptors is below the threshold value for the one of the plurality of solid state memory adaptors, aspects also include creating a service call to request that the one of the solid state memory adaptors be replaced.

  • Patent number: 8880957
    Abstract: Processing, such as debug and/or recovery processing, within a communications environment is facilitated. Responsive to detecting an event, a stop signal is propagated through a communications network of the communications environment, and each network element that receives the stop signal, transmits the signal to its neighbors (if any), and then performs an action depending on its specific programming. The action can be to take no action, perform a debugging action or perform a recovery action. The elements that receive the signal and perform the same action as other elements form a coordinated network providing a coordinated result.
