Abstract: Storage of data in a cache system is controlled by a cache monitor. A cache line is filled in response to a memory instruction from a cache client. The cache monitor includes a predictor table and update logic. An entry in the predictor table comprises an instruction identifier that associates the entry with a memory instruction and, for each cache in the system, a reuse counter. The update logic is configured to update a reuse counter table dependent upon cache behavior in response to memory instructions. Storage of data a first data address in cache in response to a memory instruction having a first instruction identifier, is dependent upon reuse counter values in an entry of the predictor table associated with first instruction identifier. Reuse counters are updated dependent upon cache behavior. A Bloom filter or other data structure may be used to associate data addresses with a memory instruction.

A determination can be made that a user operating the computing device has accessed the unified message thread. Content relating to the unified message thread can be provided for display through the computing device.

Abstract: A processor including a cache memory, processing logic, access logic, stride mask logic, count logic, arbitration logic, and a prefetcher. The processing logic submits load requests to access cache lines of a memory page. The access logic updates an access vector for the memory page, in which the access logic determines a minimum stride value between successive load requests. The stride mask logic provides a mask vector based on the minimum stride value. The count logic combines the mask vector with the access vector to provide an access count. The arbitration logic triggers a prefetch operation when the access count achieves a predetermined count threshold. The prefetcher performs the prefetch operation using a prefetch address determined by combining the minimum stride value with an address of a last one of the load requests. Direction of the stride may be determined, and a stable mode is described.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a computer system creates a first template VM that includes a first OS VMDK and a first software binary VMDK, and clones the first template VM to create a linked clone VM. The linked clone VM executes a guest OS by accessing the first OS VMDK and a software application by accessing the first software binary VMDK. The computer system further creates a second template VM that includes a second software binary VMDK, where the second software binary VMDK includes one or more upgrades to the software application that are not included in the first software binary VMDK. The computer system then detaches the first software binary VMDK from the linked clone VM and attaches the second software binary VMDK to the linked clone VM. The linked clone VM thereafter executes the software application by accessing the second software binary VMDK.
