Abstract: A computer-implemented method for managing cache memory in a distributed symmetric multiprocessing computer is described. The method may include receiving, at a first central processor (CP) chip, a fetch request from a first chip. The method may further include determining via address compare mechanisms on the first CP chip whether one or more of a second CP chip and a third CP chip is requesting access to a target line. The first chip, the second chip, and the third chip are within the same chip cluster. The method further includes providing access to the target line if both of the second CP chip and the third CP chip have accessed the target line at least one time since the first CP chip has accessed the target line.

Abstract: A computer system with a hypervisor detects the local physical connection of a portable storage device with an operating system image thereon. The computer system installs an instance of the operating system on the hypervisor, and the hypervisor assigns a set of resources to the instance to generate a virtual machine. As further portable storage devices with operating systems thereon are locally, physically connected to the computer system, additional virtual machines are generated, each with a different operating system instance, which may be the same or different from the other operating system instances. The resources of the computer system are assigned and reassigned among the virtual machines as the portable storage devices are connected and disconnected.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes determining, by a first device, a current emotional state of a user of the first device. The current emotional state is based, at least in part, on real-time information corresponding to the user and relates to a textual message from the user. The computer-implemented method further includes determining, by the first device, a set of phonetic data associated with a plurality of vocal samples corresponding to the user. The computer-implemented method further includes dynamically converting, by the first device, the textual message into an audio message. The audio message is converted from the textual message into the audio message based, at least in part, on the current emotional state and a portion of the set of phonetic data that corresponds to the current emotional state. A corresponding computer system and computer program product are also disclosed.
