Abstract: Embodiments are for processor cross-core cache line contention management. A computer-implemented method includes sending a cross-invalidate command to one or more caches based on receiving a cache state change request for a cache line in a symmetric multiprocessing system and determining a retry delay based on receiving a cross-invalidate reject response from at least one of the one or more caches. The computer-implemented method also includes waiting until a retry delay period associated with the retry delay has elapsed to resend the cross-invalidate command to the one or more caches and granting the cache state change request for the cache line based on receiving a cross-invalidate accept response from the one or more caches.

Abstract: A compact apparatus for everting a liner utilizing fluid pressure after the liner has been aligned with the conduit to be lined is provided. The apparatus includes a sphincter valve with its axis aligned with the conduit to be lined and an eversion pressure chamber overlapping a portion of the sphincter valve for reducing the length of the apparatus and allowing positioning in a sewer manhole. A downtube is positioned at the input side of the sphincter valve which can extend to the top of the manhole. To install a liner, the apparatus is placed in the entrance manhole with the sphincter valve aligned with the axis of the sewer pipe, the liner is inserted into the downtube, turned to align with the sphincter valve and conduit and fluid pressure is applied to the valve to engage the flattened liner which after passing through the valve is everted by fluid pressure as it enters the sewer pipe.
