A novel trace cache design and organization to efficiently store and retrieve multi-path traces. A goal is to design a trace cache, which is capable of storing multi-path traces without significant duplication in the traces. Furthermore, the effective access latency of these traces is reduced.

摘要:
A hardware based method for determining when to migrate cache lines to the cache bank closest to the requesting processor to avoid remote access penalty for future requests. In a preferred embodiment, decay counters are enhanced and used in determining the cost of retaining a line as opposed to replacing it while not losing the data. In one embodiment, a minimization of off-chip communication is sought; this may be particularly useful in a CMP environment.
摘要:
Multi-bit stuck-at fault error recovery can be enabled by adaptive multi-bit error correction method, in which the overhead of error correction hardware is reduced without affecting the lifetime of the memory device. Error correction logic hardware is decoupled from memory blocks. An error correction logic block is partitioned such that error correction logic entries support different number of error correction capabilities based on the probability of occurrence of the different number of errors in different memory blocks. Faulty memory blocks are mapped to appropriate error correction logic entries. The mapping can be one-to-one or many-to-one depending on embodiments. The adaptive partitioning of the error correction logic entries can be configured to match projected statistical distribution of errors in logic blocks, and can reduce the total error correction logic overhead, provide sufficient error correction, and/or extend the lifetime of the memory device.

摘要:
A method for generating and implementing a three-dimensional (3D) computer processing chip stack plan that includes receiving system requirements from a plurality of clients, identifying common processing structures and technologies from the system requirements, and assigning the common processing structures and technologies to a layer in the 3D computer processing chip stack plan. The method also includes identifying uncommon processing structures and technologies from the system requirements and assigning the uncommon processing structures and technologies to a host layer in the 3D computer processing chip stack plan. The method further includes determining placement and wiring of the uncommon structures on the host layer, storing placement information in the plan, and transmitting the plan to manufacturing equipment. The manufacturing equipment generates and integrates both the layer including the common structures and technologies and the host layer including the uncommon structures and technologies to form the 3D computer processing chip stack.
