Publication number: 20140289729Abstract: Processing within a computing environment that supports pageable guests is facilitated. Processing is facilitated in many ways, including, but not limited to, associating guest and host state information with guest blocks of storage; maintaining the state information in control blocks in host memory; enabling the changing of states; and using the state information in management decisions. In one particular example, the guest state includes an indication of usefulness and importance of memory contents to the guest, and the host state reflects the ease of access to memory contents. The host and guest state information is used in managing memory of the host and/or guests.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 5, 2014Publication date: September 25, 2014Inventors: Ingo Adlung, Jong Hyuk Choi, Hubertus Franke, Lisa C. Heller, William A. Holder, Ray Mansell, Damian L. Osisek, Randall W. Philley, Martin Schwidefsky, Gustav E. Sittmann, III

Publication number: 20130305247Abstract: Input/output (I/O) operation requests from pageable storage mode guests are interpreted without host intervention. In a pageable mode virtual environment, requests issued by pageable storage mode guests are processed by one or more processors of the environment absent intervention from one or more hosts of the environment. Processing of the requests includes manipulating, by at least one processor on behalf of the guests, buffer state information stored in host storage. The manipulating is performed via instructions initiated by the guests and processed by one or more of the processors.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 22, 2013Publication date: November 14, 2013Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Janet R.

Patent number: 7523291Abstract: Aliasing errors, occasioned by, for example, a programming error resulting in including extra or missing bits in a storage address, wrong addressing mode, or wrong address context, are detected by providing a storage address configuration including gaps in valid addresses. Such a programming error is detected and an exception is thrown (that is, an addressing error is detected and indicated) responsive to an address reference to such a gap in valid addresses. Gaps are configured at complementary address ranges to facilitate detection of such aliasing errors.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2005Date of Patent: April 21, 2009Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: William A. Holder, Damian L. Osisek, Thomas M. Vail, Donald P. Wilton

Patent number: 7464249Abstract: Mapping of address space by providing real storage including first and second address spaces. The second address space is smaller than and contained within the first address space. Provided within virtual storage is a system execution space. Providing within the system execution space is a system execution area having a size equal to or less than the second address space. The system execution area includes a control program having a first portion capable of addressing the first address space and the system execution space, a second portion constrained to address only the second address space and the system execution area, and at least one alias page. Responsive to a control program request for a first page in the virtual storage, a first frame is assigned in real storage corresponding to the page. Responsive to a request from the second portion of the control program for the first page, allocating an alias page in the system execution area, the alias page backed by the first frame.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2005Date of Patent: December 9, 2008Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: James P. Hennessy, William A. Holder, Damian L. Osisek
