35 results about "Threaded code" patented technology

In computer science, the term threaded code refers to a programming technique where the code has a form that essentially consists entirely of calls to subroutines. It is often, but not only, found in compiler implementations that generate code in that form and/or are implemented in that form themselves. The code may be processed by an interpreter, or may simply be a sequence of machine code call instructions.

Technique for dynamically restricting thread concurrency without rewriting thread code

The present invention provides a technique for converting a multi-threaded application configured to execute on a uniprocessor (UP) system to one that executes on a multiprocessor (MP) system. Unlike previous approaches, a novel scheduling technique is employed so that different UP-coded user-level threads (“sthreads”) can execute concurrently in the MP system without having to rewrite their original code. To that end, the UP-coded sthreads are organized into different concurrency groups, each of which defines a set of one or more sthreads not permitted to execute concurrently. By grouping the UP-coded sthreads in this manner, different concurrency groups can be scheduled to execute their UP-coded sthreads at substantially the same time without incorporating traditional synchronization mechanisms into the sthreads' original UP code.

Method and apparatus for efficient helper thread state initialization using inter-thread register copy

This disclosure describes a method and system that may enable fast, hardware-assisted, producer-consumer style communication of values between threads. The method, in one aspect, uses a dedicated hardware buffer as an intermediary storage for transferring values from registers in one thread to registers in another thread. The method may provide a generic, programmable solution that can transfer any subset of register values between threads in any given order, where the source and target registers may or may not be correlated. The method also may allow for determinate access times, since it completely bypasses the memory hierarchy. Also, the method is designed to be lightweight, focusing on communication, and keeping synchronization facilities orthogonal to the communication mechanism. It may be used by a helper thread that performs data prefetching for an application thread, for example, to initialize the upward-exposed reads in the address computation slice of the helper thread code.

Facilitating communication and synchronization between main and scout threads

One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for communicating and performing synchronization operations between a main thread and a helper-thread. The system starts by executing a program in a main thread. Upon encountering a loop which has associated helper-thread code, the system commences the execution of the code by the helper-thread separately and in parallel with the main thread. While executing the code by the helper-thread, the system periodically checks the progress of the main thread and deactivates the helper-thread if the code being executed by the helper-thread is no longer performing useful work. Hence, the helper-thread is executes in advance of where the main thread is executing to prefetch data items for the main thread without unnecessarily consuming processor resources or hampering the execution of the main thread.

Power management system and method

Power management for a computing device is described based on idle thread code execution and other conditions. In one example, a controller is operated at a first power state. Then the controller is transitioned from the first power state to a second lower power state after it starts executing idle thread code. As an additional optional feature it may be determined whether any one or more of a plurality of conditions is true and the controller may be transitioned from the first power state to the second power state if one or more of the plurality of conditions is true.

System and method for hiding memory latency

InactiveUS20060080661A1Hide memory latencyMemory latencyMultiprogramming arrangementsMemory systemsExternal dataParallel computing
A System and method for hiding memory latency in a multi-thread environment is presented. Branch Indirect and Set Link (BISL) and / or Branch Indirect and Set Link if External Data (BISLED) instructions are placed in thread code during compilation at instances that correspond to a prolonged instruction. A prolonged instruction is an instruction that instigates latency in a computer system, such as a DMA instruction. When a first thread encounters a BISL or a BISLED instruction, the first thread passes control to a second thread while the first thread's prolonged instruction executes. In turn, the computer system masks the latency of the first thread's prolonged instruction. The system can be optimized based on the memory latency by creating more threads and further dividing a register pool amongst the threads to further hide memory latency in operations that are highly memory bound.

Method and structure for explicit software control of execution of a thread including a helper subthread

Software instructions in a single thread code sequence with a helper subthread are executed on a processor of a computer system. The execution causes the computer system, for example, to (i) determine whether information associated with a long latency instruction is available, and when the data is unavailable, to (ii) snapshot a state of the computer system and maintain a capability to roll back to that snapshot state, (iii) execute the helper instruction in the helper subthread, and (iv) roll back to the snapshot state upon completion of execution of the helper instructions in the helper subthread and continue execution. The helper subthread, for example prefetches data while waiting for the long latency instruction to complete.

Debugging multithreaded code

Mechanisms are provided for debugging application code using a content addressable memory. The mechanisms receive an instruction in a hardware unit of a processor of the data processing system, the instruction having a target memory address that the instruction is attempting to access. A content addressable memory (CAM) associated with the hardware unit is searched for an entry in the CAM corresponding to the target memory address. In response to an entry in the CAM corresponding to the target memory address being found, a determination is made as to whether information in the entry identifies the instruction as an instruction of interest. In response to the entry identifying the instruction as an instruction of interest, an exception is generated and sent to one of an exception handler or a debugger application. In this way, debugging of multithreaded applications may be performed in an efficient manner.
