Computer processors and methods of operation of computer processors that include a plurality of pipelined hardware threads of execution, each thread including a plurality of computer program instructions; an instruction decoder that determines dependencies and latencies among instructions of a thread; and an instruction dispatcher that arbitrates, in the presence of resource contention and in accordance with the dependencies and latencies, priorities for dispatch of instructions from the plurality of threads of execution.

Monitoring is performed to detect a hang condition. A timer is set to detect a hang based on a core hang limit. If a thread hangs for the duration of the core hang limit, then a core hang is detected. If the thread is performing an external memory transaction, then the timer is increased to a longer memory hang limit. If the thread is waiting for a shared resource, then the timer may be increased to the longer memory hang limit if another thread or, more particularly, the thread blocking the resource has a pending memory transaction. Responsive to detecting a hang condition, instructions dispatched to the plurality of execution units may be flushed, or the processor may be reset and restored to a previously known good, checkpointed architected state.

A method for determining where in time to schedule a project in a computerized system for scheduling multiple projects operates in conjunction with a database composed of schedules for individual projects with resources assigned to some tasks. A user specifies the resources to be used for a new project, the loading caused by projects whose dates are already determined, the earliest possible start times for the new project, and the maximum amount of expansion in flow time (start to finish time) allowed for the new project, with considering inter-project resource contention. The new project is delayed only long enough to allow contention for the selected resources to be resolved, while not violating the flow time expansion restriction.

Under a resource manager, unexpected blocking is prevented without calling a handler for resolving a resource contention, by assigning a priority level depending on the program that has requested for a reservation of a resource as well as by assigning a special priority level which permits a reservation of a resource without any conditions in the case of a program which is urgently needed such as an EAS module.

The present invention discloses a method, an apparatus and a computer program for resource contention in device-to-device communication links. The method partitions the time-frequency radio resource grid with a resource block set forming the resource unit in the grid, for all available, used and unusable frequency bands around a given virtual central frequency. Each resource block set is partitioned into a common control channel and a data channel. With a given procedure of control data transmission between transmitting and receiving user terminals, the resources are competed and shared. Frequency shifting with short distance frequency change or frequency transference with a larger frequency hopping into a free radio resource is available. The competition procedure is done in order to fairly share the frequency bands as a function of time between different device-to-device communication links in a localized manner.

In a computer system an object of this invention is to reduce physical resource contentions during the parallel migration of volumes. The computer system of this invention has the host computers, the storage systems and the storage management server. When parallelly migrating two or more volumes of data in the storage systems to the same number of other volumes, the storage management server selects volumes having few physical conflicts of the controllers or storage devices in the storage systems and executes the parallel migration operation.

A digital cable network architecture includes hosts that include a receiver with a hash function generator that calculates hash values based on a hash function and data from memory blocks in the receiver. A policy file store contains policy files having a service provider section, a consumer section, and/or a manufacturer section that can be updated by the service provider, a consumer and/or a receiver manufacturer.

A multi-threaded processor is configured to detect excepted instructions from a first program, and to stop fetching younger instructions from that same program, to thereby conserve system resources that can be used by other programs. Each fetched program instruction has an associated status bit, which is set if the instruction excepts. Each excepting instruction is logged in an exception logging unit, which causes the associated status bit to be set. Each program has an associated in-flight vector table that tracks the instructions that have been fetched for that program. The status bits are compared with the in-flight vector table to identify the program that is associated with an excepted instruction. That program is then disabled, thereby preventing further fetching of instructions for that program until the excepted instruction clears.

To facilitate both minimal allocations and adaptive allocations, two sets of storage group policies are defined—one policy setting minimal allocation values for storage group access to storage resources and one policy setting maximal allocation values for storage group access to storage. In addition, a set of priority weights is specified that is used to balance access to storage tiers across storage groups. Upon existence of contention for storage resources, minimum allocation values for storage groups are determined based on the priority weights for the storage groups, resulting in threshold values being set to enable at least partial access to storage resources for all storage groups without requiring priority weighting of the activity density distributions of the competing storage groups. Allocations other than the minimal allocations are provided based on relative activity density distribution of storage extents between groups.

Techniques are disclosed relating to resource contention resolution in a pre-memory environment. Prior to system memory being accessible, a resource control processing element controls access to a hardware resource by a plurality of processing elements by granting received requests from the processing elements for access to the resource. The resource control processing element may prioritize requests based on a determined amount of utilization of the hardware resource by individual ones of the processing elements. In one embodiment, processing elements request for information from a bus controller (e.g., an SMBus controller) that is usable to initialize system memory. The resource control processing element may respond to the requests by retrieving the requested information from the controller and providing that information to the processing element or by retrieving the requested information from a cache and providing that information to the processing element.
