An apparatus includes processing circuitry configured that performs data processing in response to instructions of one of a plurality of software execution environments. First stage partition identifier remapping circuitry remaps a partition identifier specified for a memory transaction by a first software execution environment to a internal partition identifier to be specified with the memory transaction issued to at least one memory system component. In response to a memory transaction to be handled, the at least one memory system component controls allocation of resources for handling the memory transaction or manage contention for the resources in dependence on a selected set of memory system component parameters selected in dependence on the internal partition identifier specified by the memory transaction. Second stage partition identifier remapping circuitry dynamically overrides the internal partition identifier to be specified with the memory transaction based on a sideband input signal and the first stage partition identifier remapping circuitry indicates, for the partition identifier, whether the second stage partition identifier remapping circuitry is to be used.

Described herein are systems and methods for cache replacement mechanisms for speculative execution. For example, some systems include, a buffer comprising entries that are each configured to store a cache line of data and a tag that includes an indication of a status of the cache line stored in the entry, in an integrated circuit that is configured to: responsive to a cache miss caused by a load instruction that is speculatively executed by a processor pipeline, load a cache line of data corresponding to the cache miss into a first entry of the buffer and update the tag of the first entry to indicate the status is speculative; responsive to the load instruction being retired by the processor pipeline, update the tag to indicate the status is validated; and, responsive to the load instruction being flushed from the processor pipeline, update the tag to indicate the status is cancelled.

Media, methods, and systems are disclosed for mitigating network resource contention. Event scheduling details are received regarding one or more virtual events. In response to determining that an upcoming virtual event will begin within a predetermined time threshold, various steps are performed. First, a predicted number of event participants is determined. Next, database artifacts associated with the upcoming virtual event are prefetched. Then static event display resources are accessed prior to a start of the upcoming virtual event, and the database artifacts and the static event display resources are cached. A network protocol request to access network resources is received from a client device. The database artifacts and the static event display resources are pushed to a client-side cache associated with the client device, and a minimal network response is transmitted to the client device.

Methods, systems, apparatus, and articles of manufacture to reduce memory latency when fetching pixel kernels are disclosed. An example apparatus includes first interface circuitry to receive a first request from a hardware accelerator at a first time including first coordinates of a first pixel disposed in a first image block, second interface circuitry to receive a second request including second coordinates from the hardware accelerator at a second time after the first time, and kernel retriever circuitry to, in response to the second request, determine whether the first image block is in cache storage based on a mapping of the second coordinates to a block tag, and, in response to determining that the first image block is in the cache storage, access, in parallel, two or more memory devices associated with the cache storage to transfer a plurality of image blocks including the first image block to the hardware accelerator.

A system comprises a processor including a CPU core, first and second memory caches, and a memory controller subsystem. The memory controller subsystem speculatively determines a hit or miss condition of a virtual address in the first memory cache and speculatively translates the virtual address to a physical address. Associated with the hit or miss condition and the physical address, the memory controller subsystem configures a status to a valid state. Responsive to receipt of a first indication from the CPU core that no program instructions associated with the virtual address are needed, the memory controller subsystem reconfigures the status to an invalid state and, responsive to receipt of a second indication from the CPU core that a program instruction associated with the virtual address is needed, the memory controller subsystem reconfigures the status back to a valid state.

Systems and methods for improving cache efficiency and utilization are disclosed. In one embodiment, a graphics processor includes processing resources to perform graphics operations and a cache controller of a cache coupled to the processing resources. The cache controller is configured to control cache priority by determining whether default settings or an instruction will control cache operations for the cache.

The present disclosure relates to methods and apparatus for display processing. For example, disclosed techniques facilitate speculative page fault handling in a GPU. Aspects of the present disclosure can perform a graphics operation associated with using a set of constants within a flow control. Aspects of the present disclosure can also query a first memory to determine whether memory addresses associated with the set of constants are allocated at a constant buffer of the first memory. Further, aspects of the present disclosure can set a page fault indicator to a true value when the query indicates that at least one memory address associated with the set of constants is unallocated at the constant buffer, and set the page fault indicator to a false value otherwise.

Embodiments are disclosed for performing cache aware searching. In response to a search query, a first bucket and a second bucket in remote storage for processing the search query. A determination is made that a first file in the first bucket is present in a cache when the search query is received. In response to the search query, a search is performed using the first file based on the determination that the first file is present in the cache when the search query is received, and the search is performed using a second file from the second bucket once the second file is stored in the cache.

Coordinating dynamic power scaling of agents based on power correlations of agent instructions is disclosed. A global power controller determines a first local power quantifier of a first agent executing an agent instruction of a task of a workload. The global power controller stores a correlation between the first agent executing the agent instruction and a second local power quantifier corresponding to a second agent. The global power controller subsequently determines that the first agent is executing or will execute the agent instruction. The global power controller accesses the correlation associated with the first agent executing the agent instruction and sends to the second agent a proposed power level based on the correlation.

A system and method for efficiently processing memory requests are described. A processing unit includes at least a processor core, a cache, and a non-cache storage buffer capable of storing data prevented from being stored in the cache. While processing a memory request targeting the non-cache storage buffer, the processor core inspects a flag stored in a tag of the memory request. The processor core prevents data prefetching into one or more of the non-cache storage buffer and the cache based on determining the flag specifies preventing data prefetching into one or more of the non-cache storage buffer and the cache using the target address of the memory request during processing of this instance of the memory request. While processing a prefetch hint instruction, the processor core determines from the tag whether to prevent prefetching.
