Abstract:
To provide a program performance analysis apparatus that can present to a user whether tuning made to a program operating on a predetermined hardware is either good or bad, a performance information acquisition unit for obtaining the performance information of a program, a difference information generation unit for generating difference information by making a comparison between the performance information of a first program and that of a second program obtained by making a change to the first program, and a change evaluation unit for evaluating whether the change is either good or bad are comprised.
Abstract:
A multiprocessing system includes a storage part that stores to a memory, a first operating system (OS) task set that is constituted by a combination of a first task and a first OS corresponding to the first task, the first task being designated by an execution instruction; and a task executing part that refers to the first OS task set stored to the memory, loads the OS constituting the first OS task set, and executes the first task designated by the execution instruction.
Abstract:
In a cache memory control method and computer of the present invention, a cache memory is connected to a main memory and divided into a plurality of cache blocks, and a lock/unlock signal is supplied to the cache memory to either set a replace-inhibition state of at least one of the cache blocks in which replacing at least one of the cache blocks to the main memory is inhibited, or reset the replace-inhibition state of at least one of the cache clocks such that replacing at least one of the cache block to the main memory is allowed. Either reading or writing of the main memory is performed by using the remaining cache blocks of the cache memory, other than the at least one of the cache blocks, such that, when the replace-inhibition state is set by the lock/unlock signal, replacing the at least one of the cache blocks to the main memory is inhibited during the reading or writing of the main memory.
Abstract:
A multiprocessor system includes a plurality of processors, a shared bus coupled to the plurality of processors, a resource coupled to the shared bus and shared by the plurality of processors, and an exclusive control unit coupled to the plurality of processors and configured to include a lock flag indicative of a locked/unlocked state regarding exclusive use of the resource, wherein the processors include a special purpose register interface coupled to the exclusive control unit, and are configured to access the lock flag by special purpose register access through the special purpose register interface.

Abstract:
An instruction processing method for checking an arrangement of basic instructions in a very long instruction word (VLIW) instruction, suitable for language processing systems, an assembler and a compiler, used for processors which execute variable length VLIW instructions designed based on variable length VLIW architecture.
Abstract:
The present invention is defined in that an information processing device which reads, buffers, decodes and executes instructions from an instruction store portion by pipeline processing comprises: an instruction reading request portion which assigns a read address to the instruction store portion; an instruction buffering portion including a plurality of instruction buffers which buffer an instruction sequence read from the instruction store portion; an instruction execution unit which decodes and executes instructions buffered by the instruction buffering portion; a branching instruction detection portion which detects a branching instruction in the instruction sequence read from the instruction store portion; and a branch target address information buffering portion including a plurality of branch target address information buffers which, when the branching instruction detection portion has detected a branching instruction, buffer the branch target address information for generating the branch target address of the branching instruction; wherein, when the branching instruction detection portion has detected a branching instruction, either the branch target address information of the branching instruction is stored in one of the plurality of branch target address information buffers, or the branch target instruction sequence of the branching instruction is stored in one of the plurality of instruction buffers in addition to the storing in the branch target address information buffer.
