  • Patent number: 9977609
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for implementing efficient queues and other data structures. A queue may be shared among multiple processors and/or threads without using explicit software atomic instructions to coordinate access to the queue. System software may allocate an atomic queue and corresponding queue metadata in system memory and return, to the requesting thread, a handle referencing the queue metadata. Any number of threads may utilize the handle for accessing the atomic queue. The logic for ensuring the atomicity of accesses to the atomic queue may reside in a management unit in the memory controller coupled to the memory where the atomic queue is allocated.

  • Publication number: 20180113815
    Abstract: A processing system selects data for eviction at a cache based at least in part on a penalty associated with accessing the data at the memory location from which the data was transferred to the cache. The penalty reflects the amount of time and resources expended in copying the data from memory to the cache. By assigning priorities to the data stored at a cache based on the penalty incurred in accessing the data at the memory location from which it was transferred to the cache and selecting data for eviction from the cache based in part on the assigned priority, the processing system can preferentially select for eviction from the cache data that was transferred from a local memory to the cache rather than data that was transferred from a remote memory to the cache.
