  • Publication number: 20110283135
    Abstract: Embodiments are described for managing memory faults. An example system can include a memory controller module to manage memory cells and report memory faults. An error buffer module can store memory fault information received from the memory controller. A notification module can be in communication with the error buffer module. The notification module may generate a notification of a memory fault in a memory access operation. A system software module can provide services and manage executing programs on a processor. In addition, the system software module can receive the notifications of the memory fault for the memory access operation. A notification handler may be activated by an interrupt when the notification of the memory fault in the memory access operation is received.

  • Publication number: 20070250470
    Abstract: The subject disclosure pertains to implicitly and adaptively parallelizing program language-integrated operations comprising queries and the like. In particular, a parallel execution plan can be generated and/or selected based on static information surrounding operations. The plan can be augmented subsequently or concurrently based on dynamic information concerning the operations, machine topology, utilization, as well as data characteristics, among other things. As a result, sizeable parallel speedup can be obtained upon execution of the plan and evaluation of the operations.
