One embodiment provides for a heterogeneous computing device comprising a first processor coupled with a second processor, wherein one or more of the first or second processor includes graphics processing logic; wherein each of the first processor and the second processor includes first logic to perform virtual to physical memory address translation; and wherein the first logic includes cache coherency state for a block of memory associated with a virtual memory address.

An apparatus includes multiple processors including respective cache memories, the cache memories configured to cache cache-entries for use by the processors. At least a processor among the processors includes cache management logic that is configured to (i) receive, from one or more of the other processors, cache-invalidation commands that request invalidation of specified cache-entries in the cache memory of the processor (ii) mark the specified cache-entries as intended for invalidation but defer actual invalidation of the specified cache-entries, and (iii) upon detecting a synchronization event associated with the cache-invalidation commands, invalidate the cache-entries that were marked as intended for invalidation.

The instruction code including an instruction code stored in the area where the encrypted instruction code is stored in a non-rewritable format is authenticated using a specific key which is specific to the core where the instruction code is executed or an authenticated key by a specific key to perform an encryption processing for the input and output data between the core and the outside.

An arbiter gathers translation invalidation requests assigned to state machines of a lower-level cache into a set for joint handling in a processor core. The gathering includes selection of one of the set of gathered translation invalidation requests as an end-of-sequence (EOS) request. The arbiter issues to the processor core a sequence of the gathered translation invalidation requests terminating with the EOS request. Based on receipt of each of the gathered requests, the processor core invalidates any translation entries providing translation for the addresses specified by the translation invalidation requests and marks memory-referent requests dependent on the invalidated translation entries. Based on receipt of the EOS request and in response to all of the marked memory-referent requests draining from the processor core, the processor core issues a completion request to the lower-level cache indicating completion of servicing by the processor core of the set of gathered translation invalidation requests.

A memory management unit of a processor may receive a command associated with a process. The command may specify an operation to be performed by another device. The memory management unit may determine a counter value associated with a shared work queue of the another device, an indication the shared work queue to be specified by the command. The memory management unit may determine whether to accept or reject the command based on the counter value and a threshold for the process.

An instruction is provided to perform a reset address translation protection operation when executed. Executing the instruction includes determining, by a processor, that an address translation protection bit in a specified translation table entry associated with a storage block is to be reset. Based on determining that the address translation protection bit is to be reset, executing the instruction includes resetting the address translation protection bit to deactivate write protection for the storage block. The resetting is absent waiting for an action by one or more other processors of the computing environment.

Examples of the present disclosure provide apparatuses and methods related to a translation lookaside buffer in memory. An example method comprises receiving a command including a virtual address from a host translating the virtual address to a physical address on volatile memory of a memory device using a translation lookaside buffer (TLB).

An apparatus includes multiple processors including respective cache memories, the cache memories configured to cache cache-entries for use by the processors. At least a processor among the processors includes cache management logic that is configured to (i) receive, from one or more of the other processors, cache-invalidation commands that request invalidation of specified cache-entries in the cache memory of the processor (ii) mark the specified cache-entries as intended for invalidation but defer actual invalidation of the specified cache-entries, and (iii) upon detecting a synchronization event associated with the cache-invalidation commands, invalidate the cache-entries that were marked as intended for invalidation.

Memory pages are background-relocated from a low-latency local operating memory of a server computer to a higher-latency memory installation that enables high-resolution access monitoring and thus access-demand differentiation among the relocated memory pages. Higher access-demand memory pages are background-restored to the low-latency operating memory, while lower access-demand pages are maintained in the higher latency memory installation and yet-lower access-demand pages are optionally moved to yet higher-latency memory installation.

Systems and methods are provided to perform fine-grained memory accesses using a memory controller. The memory controller can access elements stored in memory across multiple dimensions of a matrix. The memory controller can perform accesses to non-contiguous memory locations by skipping zero or more elements across any dimension of the matrix.
