    摘要: Among other things, one or more techniques and/or systems are provided for controlling resource access for background tasks. For example, a background task created by an application may utilize a resource (e.g., CPU cycles, bandwidth usage, etc.) by consuming resource allotment units from an application resource pool. Once the application resource pool is exhausted, the background task is generally restricted from utilizing the resource. However, the background task may also utilize global resource allotment units from a global resource pool shared by a plurality of applications to access the resource. Once the global resource pool is exhausted, unless the background task is a guaranteed background task which can consume resources regardless of resource allotment states of resource pools, the background task may be restricted from utilizing the resource until global resource allotment units within the global resource pool and/or resource allotment units within the application resource pool are replenished.

    摘要: Operating system virtual memory management for hardware transactional memory. A method may be performed in a computing environment where an application running on a first hardware thread has been in a hardware transaction, with transactional memory hardware state in cache entries correlated by memory hardware when data is read from or written to data cache entries. The data cache entries are correlated to physical addresses in a first physical page mapped from a first virtual page in a virtual memory page table. The method includes an operating system deciding to unmap the first virtual page. As a result, the operating system removes the mapping of the first virtual page to the first physical page from the virtual memory page table. As a result, the operating system performs an action to discard transactional memory hardware state for at least the first physical page. Embodiments may further suspend hardware transactions in kernel mode. Embodiments may further perform soft page fault handling without aborting a hardware transaction, resuming the hardware transaction upon return to user mode, and even successfully committing the hardware transaction.

    摘要: Access bit contained in a page table entry is utilized for reducing the number of translation buffer flushes that an operating system needs to issue. A translation buffer flush occurs only when a page table entry is to become invalid and the Access bit of the page table entry is set.

    摘要: A technology for exclusively acquiring a shared resource is disclosed. In one method approach, the method determines that a shared resource is available to be exclusively acquired by a first thread. The method also prevents partial execution of operations by a second thread, during operations to exclusively acquire the shared resource by the first thread, which may be accomplished by using an interrupt. The preventing of partial execution of operations by the second thread may be initiated by the first thread. The method embodiment then performs operations to exclusively acquire the shared resource by the first thread.

    摘要: The present invention manages resources in a computing device to facilitate the allocation of resources amongst competing clients operating on the device. A hierarchy of budgets is constructed to encode restrictions on the aggregated use of a resource allocated by a resource provider to one or more clients. A resource manager validates and arbitrates requests to allocate resources to the one or more clients by resource providers in accordance with the budgets comprising the hierarchy. The resource manager notifies clients of availability and shortages of resources to promote compliance with the restrictions encoded in the budgets of the hierarchy.

    摘要: Aspects of the present invention are directed at providing safe and efficient ways for a program to perform a one-time initialization of a data item in a multi-threaded environment. In accordance with one embodiment, a method is provided that allows a program to perform a synchronized initialization of a data item that may be accessed by multiple threads. More specifically, the method includes receiving a request to initialize the data item from a current thread. In response to receiving the request, the method determines whether the current thread is the first thread to attempt to initialize the data item. If the current thread is the first thread to attempt to initialize the data item, the method enforces mutual exclusion and blocks other attempts to initialize the data item made by concurrent threads. Then, the current thread is allowed to execute program code provided by the program to initialize the data item.

    摘要: Various aspects are disclosed herein for attenuating spin waiting in a virtual machine environment comprising a plurality of virtual machines and virtual processors. Selected virtual processors can be given time slice extensions in order to prevent such virtual processors from becoming de-scheduled (and hence causing other virtual processors to have to spin wait). Selected virtual processors can also be expressly scheduled so that they can be given higher priority to resources, resulting in reduced spin waits for other virtual processors waiting on such selected virtual processors. Finally, various spin wait detection techniques can be incorporated into the time slice extension and express scheduling mechanisms, in order to identify potential and existing spin waiting scenarios.
