CALL AND RETURN INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONFIGURABLE REGISTER CONTEXT SAVE AND RESTORE
20230051855 · 2023-02-16 ·

Systems, devices, circuitries, and methods are disclosed for identifying, within a call instruction, context registers for storing prior to a jump to another subroutine. In one example, a method includes receiving, while executing a first subroutine, a call instruction that includes a first opcode and identifies a first target address, wherein the first target address stores instructions for performing a second subroutine. A first set of context registers identified by the call instruction is determined and the content of the first set of context registers is stored in first memory allocated for context storage for the first subroutine prior to executing the instruction stored in the first target address.

Techniques for reconfiguring partitions in a parallel processing system

A parallel processing unit (PPU) can be divided into partitions. Each partition is configured to operate similarly to how the entire PPU operates. A given partition includes a subset of the computational and memory resources associated with the entire PPU. Software that executes on a CPU partitions the PPU for an admin user. A guest user is assigned to a partition and can perform processing tasks within that partition in isolation from any other guest users assigned to any other partitions. Because the PPU can be divided into isolated partitions, multiple CPU processes can efficiently utilize PPU resources.

Tiered backup archival in multi-tenant cloud computing system

A system and method for backing up workloads for multiple tenants of a cloud computing system are disclosed. A method of backing up workloads for multiple tenants of a computing system includes triggering an archival process according to an archival policy set by a tenant, and executing the archival process by reading backup data of the tenant stored in a backup storage device of the computer system and transmitting the backup data to an archival store designated in the archival policy, and then deleting or invalidating the backup data stored in the backup storage device.

DATA PROCESSING METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR VIRTUAL SCENE, ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
20230043203 · 2023-02-09 ·

This application provides a method for processing data associated with a virtual scene. The method includes: receiving a save request for progress data of the virtual scene; the save request being generated in a process in which a target user performs a virtual scene operation on the virtual scene, and being used for requesting to save progress data corresponding to current operation progress of the virtual scene operation; generating, based on the save request, an archive file used for indicating the operation progress of the virtual scene operation; generating and storing, based on the archive file, a data snapshot of the progress data corresponding to the operation progress; and returning the data snapshot in a case of receiving an acquiring request for the progress data of the operation progress, so as to present, based on the data snapshot, a picture of the virtual scene corresponding to the operation progress.

Techniques for scheduling between applications on a core

A method of managing operation of a computing device is provided. The method includes (a) running a system scheduler that schedules execution of a first application and a second application on a central processing unit (CPU) core of the computing device; (b) while the first application is executing on the core, detecting, by the first application, a context-switch opportunity; and (c) issuing, by the first application in response to detecting the context-switch opportunity, a blocking operation that triggers the system scheduler to perform a rescheduling operation between the first and second applications on the CPU core. An apparatus, system, and computer program product for performing a similar method are also provided.

EXITLESS TIMER ACCESS FOR VIRTUAL MACHINES
20180011733 · 2018-01-11 ·

A system and method of scheduling timer access includes a first physical processor with a first physical timer executing a first guest virtual machine. A hypervisor determines an interrupt time remaining before an interrupt is scheduled and determines the interrupt time is greater than a threshold time. Responsive to determining that the interrupt time is greater than the threshold time, the hypervisor designates a second physical processor as a control processor with a control timer and sends, to the second physical processor, an interval time, which is a specific time duration. The hypervisor grants, to the first guest virtual machine, access to the first physical timer. The second physical processor detects that the interval time expires. Responsive to detecting that the interval time expired, an inter-processor interrupt is sent from the second physical processor to the first physical processor, triggering the first guest virtual machine to exit to the hypervisor.

INSTRUCTION PRE-FETCHING
20180011735 · 2018-01-11 ·

Pre-fetching instructions for tasks of an operating system (OS) is provided by calling a task scheduler that determines a load start time for a set of instructions for a particular task corresponding to a task switch condition. The OS calls, and in response to the load start time, a loader entity module that generates a pre-fetch request that loads the set of instructions for the particular task from a non-volatile memory circuit into a random access memory circuit. The OS calls the task scheduler to switch to the particular task.

HARDWARE CONTROLLED INSTRUCTION PRE-FETCHING
20180011736 · 2018-01-11 ·

A task control circuit maintains, in response to task event information, a task information queue that includes task information for a plurality of tasks. Based upon the task information in the task information queue, a future task switch condition is identified as corresponding to a task switch time for a particular task of the plurality of tasks. A load start time is determined for a set of instructions for the particular task. A pre-fetch request is generated to load the set of instructions for the particular task into the memory circuit. The pre-fetch request is forwarded to a hardware loader circuit. In response to the task switch time, a task event trigger is generated for the particular task. The hardware loader circuit is used to load, in response to the pre-fetch request, the set of instructions from a non-volatile memory into the memory circuit.
