Abstract: Method and apparatus monitor eviction conflicts among cache directory entries in a cache directory and produce cache directory victim entry information for a memory manager. In some examples, the memory manager reduces future cache directory conflicts by changing a page level physical address assignment for a page of memory based on the produced cache directory victim entry information. In some examples, a scalable data fabric includes hardware control logic that performs the monitoring of the eviction conflicts among cache directory entries in the cache directory and produces the cache directory victim entry information.

Abstract: A technique for synchronizing workgroups is provided. Multiple workgroups execute a wait instruction that specifies a condition variable and a condition. A workgroup scheduler stops execution of a workgroup that executes a wait instruction and an advanced controller begins monitoring the condition variable. In response to the advanced controller detecting that the condition is met, the workgroup scheduler determines whether there is a high contention scenario, which occurs when the wait instruction is part of a mutual exclusion synchronization primitive and is detected by determining that there is a low number of updates to the condition variable prior to detecting that the condition has been met. In a high contention scenario, the workgroup scheduler wakes up one workgroup and schedules another workgroup to be woken up at a time in the future. In a non-contention scenario, more than one workgroup can be woken up at the same time.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for determining data placement based on packet metadata are disclosed. A system includes a traffic analyzer that determines data placement across connected devices based on observed values of the metadata fields in actively exchanged packets across a plurality of protocol types. In one implementation, the protocol that is supported by the system is the compute express link (CXL) protocol. The traffic analyzer performs various actions in response to events observed in a packet stream that match items from a pre-configured list. Data movement is handled underneath the software applications by changing the virtual-to-physical address translation once the data movement is completed. After the data movement is finished, threads will pull in the new host physical address into their translation lookaside buffers (TLBs) via a page table walker or via an address translation service (ATS) request.

Abstract: A computer processing system having a first memory with a first set of memory pages resident therein and a second memory coupled to the first memory.

The system groups the memory pages of the identified plurality of memory pages into a number of patterns based on a number of memory accesses per time. An LSTM RNN instance predicts a number of page accesses for each pattern. A second set of memory pages is selected for moving from the first memory to the second memory.
