Wake-and-Go Mechanism With Software Save of Thread State

A wake-and-go mechanism is provided for a data processing system. When a thread is waiting for an event, rather than performing a series of get-and-compare sequences, the thread updates a wake-and-go array with a target address associated with the event. Software may save the state of the thread. The thread is then put to sleep. When the wake-and-go array snoops a kill at a given target address, logic associated with wake-and-go array may generate an exception, which may result in a switch to kernel mode, wherein the operating system performs some action before returning control to the originating process. In this case, the trap results in other software, such as the operating system or background sleeper thread, for example, to reload thread from thread state storage and to continue processing of the active threads on the processor.

Thread-safe portable management interface

A system and method for using a management interface such as Portable Management Interface (PMI) in a thread-safe and efficient manner. A secondary scheduler receives PMI management requests from multi-threaded manager applications in a thread-safe manner, such as through a lock. The secondary scheduler monitors the flow of PMI-related requests into PMI to ensure that, at any point in time, only one management request (e.g., callback function) is running on the PMI thread. When a request in the secondary queue is ready for scheduling with the primary scheduler, the secondary scheduler then accesses the primary scheduler in a thread-safe manner, such as through a lock, to send the request to the primary scheduler. The management requests are dispatched from the primary scheduler and executed on managed objects though a Management Information Server. The performance and efficiency of the manager applications is enhanced by increasing the responsiveness of interaction between the manager applications and the schedulers. The performance of the management interface is enhanced by eliminating the need for polling-based scheduling solutions.

Efficient per-thread safepoints and local access

Some embodiments of the present invention provide a system that implements a safepoint for a thread, which includes a compiler and a runtime environment. During compilation of an application to be executed by the thread, the compiler obtains a register to be associated with the thread and inserts safepoint code into the application, wherein the safepoint code includes an indirect load from a memory location stored in the register to the register. During execution of the application by the thread, the runtime environment writes a thread-specific value for the thread to the register, wherein the thread-specific value corresponds to an enabled value, a triggered value, or a disabled value. In these embodiments, executing the indirect load by the thread causes the thread to trap if the thread-specific value corresponds to the triggered value.

Inter-process thread mutex method

The invention relates to an inter-process thread mutex method. The inter-process thread mutex method comprises following steps: vying for mutex information by multiple threads and initializing mutex information by a successful thread; when obtaining mutex information by the successful thread and utilizing mutex information to lock a critical zone; obtaining a lock of mutex information by the thread after locking operation and visiting shared resources; waiting by other threads at the same time; parting the critical zone after the threads run out of shard resources; and continuing to compete for mutex information by other threads and repeating above steps. The inter-process thread mutex method has following beneficial effects: combined with a semaphore mechanism, atomicity of locking and unlocking is ensured; the method has thread safety and helps to effectively solve the problem of garbage value obtained by mutex information; abnormity is avoided when garbage value is obtained by using threads; the deadlocking problem is also overcome when the self body asks for a lock during locking; and the problem of unlocking out of limits of authority is avoided.

Method and system for accessing objects of different thread types

A method in a computer system for accessing Microsoft Component Object Model (“COM”) objects of varying thread types from a Java-based program. The computer system has a Java virtual machine (“VM”) that executes statements of the Java program and that executes in a multithreaded process. When executing a statement of the Java-based program to instantiate a COM object, the system creates a wrapper object. When the COM object is not thread-safe, the system requests an appropriate thread to instantiate the COM object and stores an identifier of the thread in the wrapper object. When the COM object is thread-safe, the system instantiates the COM object from the current thread and stores an indication in the wrapper object that the COM object can be accessed from any thread. When executing a statement of the Java-based program to invoke a method of the COM object, the system requests the thread identified in the wrapper object to invoke the method of the COM object. When the wrapper object indicates that the COM object can be referenced from any thread, the system invokes the method of the COM object referenced by the wrapper object directly from the current thread.

Deferred Execution in a Multi-thread Safe System Level Modeling Simulation

Methods, systems, and machine readable medium for multi-thread safe system level modeling simulation (SLMS) of a target system on a host system. An example of a SLMS is a SYSTEMC simulation. During the SLMS, SLMS processes are executed in parallel via a plurality of threads. SLMS processes represent functional behaviors of components within the target system, such as functional behaviors of processor cores. Deferred execution may be used to defer execution of operations of SLMS processes that access a shared resource. Multi-thread safe direct memory interface (DMI) access may be used by a SLMS process to access a region of the memory in a multi-thread safe manner. Access to regions of the memory may also be guarded if they are at risk of being in a transient state when being accessed by more than one SLMS process.

Cache predictor for simultaneous multi-threaded processor system supporting multiple transactions

A set-associative I-cache that enables early cache hit prediction and correct way selection when the processor is executing instructions of multiple threads having similar EAs. Each way of the I-cache comprises an EA Directory (EA Dir), which includes a series of thread valid bits that are individually assigned to one of the multiple threads. Particular ones of the thread valid bits are set in each EA Dir to indicate when an instruction block the thread is cached within the particular way with which the EA Dir is associated. When a cache line request for a particular thread is received, a cache hit is predicted when the EA of the request matches the EA in the EA Dir and the cache line is selected from the way associated with the EA Dir who has the thread valid bit for that thread set. Early way selection is thus achieved since the way selection only requires a check of the thread valid bits.
