A method for execution by a dispersed storage network (DSN) managing unit includes receiving access information from a plurality of distributed storage and task (DST) processing units via a network. Cache memory utilization data is generated based on the access information. Configuration instructions are generated for transmission via the network to the plurality of DST processing units based on the cache memory utilization data.

A system and method are disclosed for a cache IP that includes registers that are programmed through a service port. Service registers are selected from the registers to define an address range so that all cache lines within the address range can be flushed automatically using a control signal sent to a control register.

An example method of managing memory in a computer system implementing non-uniform memory access (NUMA) by a plurality of sockets each having a processor component and a memory component is described. The method includes replicating page tables for an application executing on a first socket of the plurality of sockets across each of the plurality of sockets; associating metadata for pages of the memory storing the replicated page tables in each of the plurality of sockets; and updating the replicated page tables using the metadata to locate the pages of the memory that store the replicated page tables.

A method for maintaining the coherency of a store coalescing cache and a load cache is disclosed. As a part of the method, responsive to a write-back of an entry from a level one store coalescing cache to a level two cache, the entry is written into the level two cache and into the level one load cache. The writing of the entry into the level two cache and into the level one load cache is executed at the speed of access of the level two cache.

Described herein is a graphics processing unit (GPU) comprising a first processing cluster to perform parallel processing operations, the parallel processing operations including a ray tracing operation and a matrix multiply operation; and a second processing cluster coupled to the first processing cluster, wherein the first processing cluster includes a floating-point unit to perform floating point operations, the floating-point unit is configured to process an instruction using a bfloat16 (BF16) format with a multiplier to multiply second and third source operands while an accumulator adds a first source operand with output from the multiplier.

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed facilitate read-modify-write support in a coherent victim cache with parallel data paths. An example apparatus includes a random-access memory configured to be coupled to a central processing unit via a first interface and a second interface, the random-access memory configured to obtain a read request indicating a first address to read via a snoop interface, an address encoder coupled to the random-access memory, the address encoder to, when the random-access memory indicates a hit of the read request, generate a second address corresponding to a victim cache based on the first address, and a multiplexer coupled to the victim cache to transmit a response including data obtained from the second address of the victim cache.
