Abstract: According to one aspect of the present disclosure a method and technique for managing data transfer includes receiving and storing a plurality of different data patterns anticipated to be encountered by a processor unit of a data processing system corresponding to a particular application being processed. Responsive to receiving a read request for data, the requested data is read from a memory subsystem, and the read data is compared by the memory subsystem to the stored data patterns. Responsive to determining that the read data matches at least one of the stored data patterns, the memory subsystem replaces the matching read data with a pattern tag corresponding to the matching data pattern. The pattern tag is transmitted to the processor unit instead of the requested data as a response to the read request, and the processor unit replaces the pattern tag with the corresponding data pattern.

Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for determining server write activity levels to use to adjust write cache size. Information on server write activity to the cache is gathered. The gathered information on write activity is processed to determine a server write activity level comprising one of multiple write activity levels indicating a level of write activity. The determined server write activity level is transmitted to a storage server having a write cache, wherein the storage server uses the determined server write activity level to determine whether to adjust a size of the storage server write cache.

Abstract: A method and system for precisely tracking lines evicted from a region coherence array (RCA) without requiring eviction of the lines from a processor's cache hierarchy. The RCA is a set-associative array which contains region entries consisting of a region address tag, a set of bits for the region coherence state, and a line-count for tracking the number of region lines cached by the processor. Tracking of the RCA is facilitated by a non-tagged hash table of counts represented by a Region Victim Hash (RVH). When a region is evicted from the RCA, and lines from the evicted region still reside in the processor's caches (i.e., the region's line-count is non-zero), the RCA line-count is added to the corresponding RVH count. The RVH count is decremented by the value of the region line count following a subsequent processor cache eviction/invalidation of the region previously evicted from the RCA.

Abstract: A method includes generating a drive signal for a transistor in a switching regulator. The drive signal turns the transistor on and off to generate a regulated output voltage. The drive signal is generated based on a clock signal. The method also includes dynamically decreasing a frequency of the clock signal to decrease a dropout voltage of the switching regulator. Dynamically decreasing the frequency of the clock signal can increase a duration of switching periods defined by the clock signal. The dropout voltage could have a first value proportional to TOFF—MIN/TON—MAX during shorter switching periods and a second value proportional to TOFF—MIN/TON—MAX—DFC during longer switching periods. TOFF—MIN represents a minimum amount of off-time for the transistor during each switching period, TON—MAX represents a maximum amount of on-time for the transistor during shorter switching periods, and TON—MAX—DFC represent a maximum amount of on-time for the transistor during longer switching periods.

Abstract: A test system or simulator includes an IC benchmark software program that executes application software on a semiconductor die IC design model. The benchmark software includes trace, simulation point, clustering and other programs. IC designers utilize the benchmark software to evaluate the performance characteristics of IC designs with customer user software applications. The benchmark software generates basic block vectors BBVs from instruction traces of application software. The benchmark software analyzes data dependent information that it appends to BBVs to create enhanced BBVs or EBBVs. The benchmark software may graph the EBBV information in a cluster diagram and selects a subset of EBBVs as a representative sample for each program phase. Benchmarking software generates a reduced application software program from the representative EBBV samples.

Abstract: A test system or simulator includes an IC test application sampling software program that executes test application software on a semiconductor die IC design model. The test application sampling software includes trace, simulation point, CPI error, clustering and other programs. IC designers utilize the test application sampling software to evaluate the performance characteristics of IC designs with test software applications. The test application sampling software generates basic block vectors (BBVs) and fly-by vectors (FBVs) from instruction trace analysis of test application software. The test application sampling software analyzes microarchitecture dependent information that it uses to generate the FBVs. Test application sampling software generates a reduced representative test application software program from the BBV and FBV data utilizing an instruction budgeting method.
