Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for releasing the sticky state of cache lines for one or more group IDs. A sticky removal engine walks through the tag memory of a system cache looking for matches with a first group ID which is clearing its cache lines from the system cache. The engine clears the sticky state of each cache line belonging to the first group ID. If the engine receives a release request for a second group ID, the engine records the current index to log its progress through the tag memory. Then, the engine continues its walk through the tag memory looking for matches with either the first or second group ID. The engine wraps around to the start of the tag memory and continues its walk until reaching the recorded index for the second group ID.

Abstract: An actuator structure includes two half cylinders made respectively from the same mold and the two half cylinders engaged with each other to form an actuator. The actuator has an air reservoir chamber and a vane chamber dividing by a dividing unit, and the vane chamber has a vane inside. An O-shaped ring is formed around the vane and an elastic stopping edge is formed protrudingly from the O-shaped ring and linearly contacted an inner surface of the actuator. The volume ratio of the air reservoir chamber and the vane chamber is about three to one, and a channel groove is formed at an interface of the two half cylinders to connect an air inlet hole and a left side and a right side wall of the actuator. A fail-safe or dual-movement control structure is formed to control the direction of air supply to drive the shaft to rotate toward a predetermined direction, or utilizing the compressed air in the air reservoir chamber to force the vane to restore to its original position.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for utilizing a cache hint mechanism in which a requesting agent can provide hints as to how data corresponding to a request should be cached in a system cache within a memory controller. The way the system cache responds to received requests is determined by the cache hint provided by the originating requesting agent. When a request is accompanied by a de-allocate cache hint, the system cache causes a cache line hit by the request to be de-allocated. For a request with a do not allocate cache hint, the system cache does not allocate a cache line if the request misses in the system cache, and the system cache maintains a given cache line in its current state if the requests hits the given cache line.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for implementing a system cache with quota-based control. Quotas may be assigned on a group ID basis to each group ID that is assigned to use the system cache. The quota does not reserve space in the system cache, but rather the quota may be used within any way within the system cache. The quota may prevent a given group ID from consuming more than a desired amount of the system cache. Once a group ID's quota has been reached, no additional allocation will be permitted for that group ID. The total amount of allocated quota for all group IDs can exceed the size of system cache, such that the system cache can be oversubscribed. The sticky state can be used to prioritize data retention within the system cache when oversubscription is being used.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling the frequency of a clock signal using a clock-gating circuit is disclosed. In one embodiment, a root clock signal and an enable signal are provided to a clock-gating circuit. The clock-gating circuit is configured to provide an operational clock signal (based on the root clock signal) when the enable signal is asserted. The operational clock signal is inhibited when the enable signal is de-asserted. The frequency of the operational clock signal can be output at a reduced frequency (relative to the root clock signal) by asserting the enable signal for one of every N clock cycles. Furthermore, the frequency of the operational clock signal can be dynamically changed by changing the rate of asserting the enable signal relative to the root clock signal, without suspending operation of a functional unit receiving the operational clock signal.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for implementing a system cache within a memory controller. Multiple requesting agents may allocate cache lines in the system cache, and each line allocated in the system cache may be associated with a specific group ID. Also, each line may have a corresponding sticky state which indicates if the line should be retained in the cache. The sticky state is determined by an allocation hint provided by the requesting agent. When a cache line is allocated with the sticky state, the line will not be replaced by other cache lines fetched by any other group IDs.
