  • Patent number: 11928467
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a processor comprises an atomic predictor circuit to predict whether or not an atomic operation will complete successfully. The prediction may be used when a subsequent load operation to the same memory location as the atomic operation is executed, to determine whether or not to forward store data from the atomic operation to the subsequent load operation. If the prediction is successful, the store data may be forwarded. If the prediction is unsuccessful, the store data may not be forwarded. In cases where an atomic operation has been failing (not successfully performing the store operation), the prediction may prevent the forwarding of the store data and thus may prevent a subsequent flush of the load.

  • Patent number: 11928470
    Abstract: Introduced herein is a program counter advancing technique that uses NOP padding without its limitations. During a build process, the introduced technique removes EOG markers for instruction groups that are immediately followed by the NOP instructions that are immediately followed by an instruction group beginning at a start of a cache line. As such, during an execution process, when the processing unit detects an absence of an EOG marker in the requested instruction group, it knows that a group of NOP instructions are about to follow and skips over them by directly advancing the program counter to a start of a subsequent cache line where the next instruction group starts. In addition to the presence of an EOG marker, the introduced technique also takes into account whether the requested instruction group is a straddling group when advancing the program counter to a start of the subsequent cache line.

  • Patent number: 11928492
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for managing quality of service (QoS) policies in a virtual storage environment. A data storage system receives a request from a host system to connect to a target virtual volume in a storage array of the data storage system, and determines a protocol endpoint which has an assigned QoS policy which corresponds to a QoS policy of the target virtual volume. The data storage system binds the target virtual volume to the protocol endpoint which is determined to have an assigned QoS policy which corresponds to the QoS policy of the target virtual volume, and sends a unique identifier of the protocol endpoint, which is bound to the target virtual volume, to the host system. The data storage system utilizes the protocol endpoint, which is bound to the target virtual volume, to handle data access requests received from the host system for accessing the target virtual volume.
