Abstract: There are provided methods for single-owner multi-consumer work queues for repeatable tasks. A method includes permitting a single owner thread of a single owner, multi-consumer, work queue to access the work queue using atomic instructions limited to only a single access and using non-atomic operations. The method further includes restricting the single owner thread from accessing the work queue using atomic instructions involving more than one access. The method also includes synchronizing amongst other threads with respect to their respective accesses to the work queue.

Abstract: Systems and methods to manage a memory device by executing program code to determine a temperature profile associated with a region of the memory device.

Abstract: An approach is provided in which a cooling manager retrieves pre-characterization data corresponding to a fan that electronic components included in a computer system. The pre-characterization data includes operational zones based upon fan power measurements and fan speed settings. The cooling manager sets the fan to a first speed setting within a first operational zone, and detects that one of the components generates a temperature change value that exceeds a specified temperature change value corresponding to the component. In turn, the cooling manager selects a second operational zone and sets the fan to a second speed setting within the second operational zone.

Abstract: Formal verification of a circuit design is performed with low power considerations. The formal verification process receives a circuit design and a low power design specification. The low power design specification identifies power domains for the circuit. The system models undefined signal reaching nodes of the circuit from components of power domains that are switched off. The system selects a subset of nodes at which undefined signal reaches, thereby excluding certain nodes from the analysis. The selection of a small subset of nodes for analyzing undefined signals increases the efficiency of the formal verification process. The system annotates the circuit design to allow undefined signals to be introduced at the selected nodes. The system performs formal verification of the annotated circuit design.
