Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to evict in a dual datapath victim cache system. An example apparatus includes a cache storage, a cache controller operable to receive a first memory operation and a second memory operation concurrently, comparison logic operable to identify if the first and second memory operations missed in the cache storage, and a replacement policy component operable to, when at least one of the first and second memory operations corresponds to a miss in the cache storage, reserve an entry in the cache storage to evict based on the first and second memory operations.

Abstract: A computer system includes a processor core and a memory system in signal communication with the processor core. The memory system includes a first cache and a second cache. The first cache is arranged at a first level of a hierarchy in the memory system and is configured to store a plurality of first-cache entries. The second cache is arranged at a second level of the hierarchy that is lower than the first level, and stores a plurality of second-cache entries. The first cache maintains a directory that contains information for each of the first-cache entries. The second cache maintains a shadow pointer directory (SPD) that includes one or more SPD entries that maps each of the first-cache entries to a corresponding second cache entry at a lower-level cache location.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method, and/or computer program product embodiments for providing rolling updates of distributed systems with a shared cache. An embodiment operates by receiving a data item key corresponding to a request from a user profile operating on a media player and receiving a version identifier corresponding to a first version of an application operating on the media player. It is determined that a shared cache includes a first value and second value for the data item key. A key component is generated corresponding to the user profile. Both the generated key component and the data item key are provided to the shared cache, and the first value of the data item as stored in the shared cache is received. The first value of the first version of the data item is updated.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to reduce read-modify-write cycles for non-aligned writes. An example apparatus includes a memory that includes a plurality of memory banks, an interface configured to be coupled to a central processing unit, the interface to obtain a write operation from the central processing unit, wherein the write operation is to write a subset of the plurality of memory banks, and bank processing logic coupled to the interface and to the memory, the bank processing logic to determine the subset of the plurality of memory banks to write based on the write operation, and determine whether to cause a read operation to be performed in response to the write operation based on whether a number of addresses in the subset of the plurality of memory banks to write satisfies a threshold.

Abstract: Aspects relate to Input/Output (IO) Memory Management Units (MMUs) that include hardware structures for implementing virtualization. Some implementations allow guests to setup and maintain device IO tables within memory regions to which those guests have been given permissions by a hypervisor. Some implementations provide hardware page table walking capability within the IOMMU, while other implementations provide static tables. Such static tables may be maintained by a hypervisor on behalf of guests. Some implementations reduce a frequency of interrupts or invocation of hypervisor by allowing transactions to be setup by guests without hypervisor involvement within their assigned device IO regions. Devices may communicate with IOMMU to setup the requested memory transaction, and completion thereof may be signaled to the guest without hypervisor involvement. Various other aspects will be evident from the disclosure.

Abstract: A data access system has host computers having front-end controllers nFE_SAN connected via a bus or network interconnect to back-end storage controllers nBE_SAN, and physical disk drives connected via network interconnect to the nBE_SANs to provide a distributed, high performance, policy based or dynamically reconfigurable, centrally managed, data storage acceleration system. The hardware and software architectural solutions eliminate BE_SAN controller bottlenecks and improve performance and scalability. In an embodiment, the nBE_SAN (BE_SAN) firmware recognize controller overload conditions, informs Distributed Resource Manager (DRM), and, based on the DRM provided optimal topology information, delegates part of its workload to additional controllers. The nFE_SAN firmware and additional hardware using functionally independent and redundant CPUs and memory that mitigate single points of failure and accelerates write performance. The nFE_SAN and FE_SAN controllers facilitate Converged I/O Interface by simultaneously supporting storage I/O and network traffic.
