  • Publication number: 20170371783
    Abstract: Self-aware, peer-to-peer cache transfers between local, shared cache memories in a multi-processor system is disclosed. A shared cache memory system is provided comprising local shared cache memories accessible by an associated central processing unit (CPU) and other CPUs in a peer-to-peer manner. When a CPU desires to request a cache transfer (e.g., in response to a cache eviction), the CPU acting as a master CPU issues a cache transfer request. In response, target CPUs issue snoop responses indicating their willingness to accept the cache transfer. The target CPUs also use the snoop responses to be self-aware of the willingness of other target CPUs to accept the cache transfer. The target CPUs willing to accept the cache transfer use a predefined target CPU selection scheme to determine its acceptance of the cache transfer. This can avoid a CPU making multiple requests to find a target CPU for a cache transfer.

  • Patent number: 8347124
    Abstract: The projected power consumption for an application program running on a future IHS is determined by generating a power proxy for the application program, and power proxies for a plurality of standard benchmarks. An algorithm correlates the power proxy for the application program, and the power proxies for the standard benchmarks to generate weighted surrogates that are combined with power proxies derived from running the benchmark surrogates on the future IHS to generate the projected power consumption.
