摘要:
An apparatus and method for improving synchronization between threads in a multi-core processor system are provided. An apparatus includes a memory, a first processor core, and a second processor core. The memory includes a shared ring buffer for storing data units, and stores a plurality of shared variables associated with accessing the shared ring buffer. The first processor core runs a first thread and has a first cache associated therewith. The first cache stores a first set of local variables associated with the first processor core. The first thread controls insertion of data items into the shared ring buffer using at least one of the shared variables and the first set of local variables. The second processor core runs a second thread and has a second cache associated therewith. The second cache stores a second set of local variables associated with the second processor core. The second thread controls extraction of data items from the shared ring buffer using at least one of the shared variables and the second set of local variables.

摘要:
Methods and apparatuses are provided for detecting traffic patterns in a data network. A sequential hashing scheme can be utilized that has D hash arrays. Each hash array i, wherein 1≦i≦D, includes Mi independent hash tables each having K buckets, with each of the buckets having an associated traffic total. Each of the keys corresponds with a single bucket of each of the Mi independent hash tables of each hash array i. The keys of the data network are partitioned into D words. As traffic is received for a key, a traffic total of each bucket that corresponds with a key is updated. The hash arrays can then be utilized to identify high traffic buckets of the independent hash tables having a traffic total greater than a threshold value. The high traffic buckets can be used to detect significant traffic patterns of the data network.
