    摘要: The illustrative embodiments provide a method, a computer program product, and an apparatus for managing a cache. A probability of a future request for data to be stored in a portion of the cache by a thread is identified for each of the number of threads to form a number of probabilities. The data is stored with a rank in a number of ranks in the portion of the cache responsive to receiving the future request from the thread in the number of threads for the data. The rank is selected using the probability in the number of probabilities for the thread.

    摘要: The illustrative embodiments provide a method, apparatus, and computer program product for managing a number of cache lines in a cache. In one illustrative embodiment, it is determined whether activity on a memory bus in communication with the cache exceeds a threshold activity level. A least important cache line is located in the cache responsive to a determination that the threshold activity level is exceeded, wherein the least important cache line is located using a cache replacement scheme. It is determined whether the least important cache line is clean responsive to the determination that the threshold activity level is exceeded. The least important cache line is selected for replacement in the cache responsive to a determination that the least important cache line is clean. A clean cache line is located within a subset of the number of cache lines and selecting the clean cache line for replacement responsive to an absence of a determination that the least important cache line is not clean, wherein the each cache line in the subset is examined in ascending order of importance according to the cache replacement scheme.

    摘要: Embodiments of the invention are directed to optimizing the performance of a split disk cache. In one embodiment, a disk cache includes a primary region having a read portion and write portion and one or more smaller, sample regions also including a read portion and a write portion. The primary region and one or more sample region each have an independently adjustable ratio of a read portion to a write portion. Cached reads are distributed among the read portions of the primary and sample region, while cached writes are distributed among the write portions of the primary and sample region. The performance of the primary region and the performance of the sample region are tracked, such as by obtaining a hit rate for each region during a predefined interval. The read/write ratio of the primary region is then selectively adjusted according to the performance of the one or more sample regions.

    摘要: A foil wing for creating lift force on snowboards and skis is disclosed. By use of this invention on skis or snowboards, the act of translating through powder creates the necessary lift force on the leading end and down force on the aft end that is required to stay afloat in powder. The snow wing generates lift upon need when the snow gets deep enough. Therefore, the rider is kept afloat in unforeseen loose-snow areas, carrying him safely over and out. On overall snow powder days, the use of this invention keeps riders from tiring so quickly and, therefore, makes the rider more in control, and thus safer.
