Abstract: In one embodiment, a system for managing communication connections in a virtualization environment includes a plurality of host machines implementing a virtualization environment, wherein each of the host machines includes a hypervisor, at least one user virtual machine (user VM), and a distributed file server that includes file server virtual machines (FSVMs) and associated local storage devices.

Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for selectively increasing or decreasing an amount of cache resources which are to be available for use in the provisioning of decoded micro-operations in a processor. In an embodiment, a processor core comprises both a first cache which is dedicated to caching micro-operations, and a second cache which is coupled to receive data, or non-decoded instructions. The core further comprises circuitry to monitor one or more cache performance characteristics of the core. Based on the one or more cache performance characteristics, the circuitry performs an evaluation to determine whether to increase—or alternatively, to decrease—the size of a pool of one or more caches which are to be available to receive micro-operations. In another embodiment, the second cache is added to the pool based on an indication of an overutilization of the first cache.
