If not, then the location in storage is identified where the program module is stored, and another copy containing the corresponding program code is loaded into memory. The corresponding program code is located and copied into the program module in memory, and a response is provided to the request.

Abstract: Adjusting an operating frequency of a CPU includes setting the operating frequency for a current operating cycle based on a CPU load in a prior operating cycle and a target CPU load. A current CPU load associated with the current processing cycle is detected. The CPU operating frequency is adjusted to a new operating frequency based on a difference between the target CPU load and the current CPU load. The operating frequency is adjusted based on minimizing the difference between the target CPU load and the detected load. A CPU load error is determined based on the current CPU load and the target CPU load. The target CPU load is adjusted based on the determined CPU load error and a threshold load error. A prediction is generated on whether to perform a new adjustment of the operating frequency of the CPU prior to expiration of a threshold time duration.

Abstract: Embodiments are provided for isolating Input/Output (I/O) execution by combining compiler and Operating System (OS) techniques. The embodiments include dedicating selected cores, in multicore or many-core processors, as I/O execution cores, and applying compiler-based analysis to classify I/O regions of program source codes so that the OS can schedule such regions onto the designated I/O cores. During the compilation of a program source code, each I/O operation region of the program source code is identified. During the execution of the compiled program source code, each I/O operation region is scheduled for execution on a preselected I/O core. The other regions of the compiled program source code are scheduled for execution on other cores.
