Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for managing storage is provided. The method includes requesting registration from an application upon initialization of the application, receiving the registration from the application, and receiving a request for temporary storage from the application. The method also includes determining whether sufficient memory exists in storage to perform the request. If insufficient memory exists, the method includes signaling the application to halt operations that request additional temporary storage, signaling the application to return unused temporary storage, and re-attempting to execute the request upon successful return of unused temporary storage. If sufficient memory exists, the method includes executing the request.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, system, and signal-bearing medium that in an embodiment use a requested address for an intent seize and a processor associated with the intent seize to determine a hash table entry. If the requested address is not found in the hash table, all hash tables for all processors are updated to anchor to the requested address. Non-intent seizes use a hash table associated with a designated processor, regardless of whether the designated processor initiated the non-intent seize. In this way, in an embodiment modified, cache line interventions may eliminated for intent seizes.
