Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed for hardware queue scheduling for multi-core computing environments. An example apparatus includes a first core and a second core of a processor, and circuitry in a die of the processor, at least one of the first core or the second core included in the die, the at least one of the first core or the second core separate from the circuitry, the circuitry to enqueue an identifier to a queue implemented with the circuitry, the identifier associated with a data packet, assign the identifier in the queue to a first core of the processor, and in response to an execution of an operation on the data packet with the first core, provide the identifier to the second core to cause the second core to distribute the data packet.

Abstract: A system apparatus and method for supporting one or more functions in an IO virtualization environment. One or more threads are dynamically associated with, and executing on behalf of, one or more functions in a device.

Abstract: In general, in one aspect, the disclosure describes an apparatus for engineering di/dt. The apparatus includes a plurality of functional blocks to perform different functions. The apparatus also includes a clock source to provide a clock signal to said plurality of functional blocks. At least one gating device is used to regulate application of the clock to the plurality of functional blocks. A controller is included to control the at least one gating device and turning-on of the clock signal.

Abstract: A computer system is disclosed. The computer system includes a higher level cache, a lower level cache, a decoder to decode instructions, and a circuit coupled to the decoder. In one embodiment, the circuit, in response to a single decoded instruction, retrieves data from external memory and bypasses the lower level cache upon a higher level cache miss. In another embodiment, the circuit, in response to a first decoded instruction, issues a request to retrieve data at an address from external memory to place said data only in the lower level cache, detects a second cacheable decoded instruction to said address, and places said data in the higher level cache.
