Filed:

Oct 30, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/589492

Inventors:

Nicolai Kosche - San Francisco CA, US
Gregory F. Grohoski - Bee Cave TX, US
Paul J. Jordan - Austin TX, US

Assignee:

Oracle America, Inc. - Redwood City CA

International Classification:

G06F 11/30

US Classification:

712227, 712244, 717130

Abstract:

A system and method for precisely identifying an instruction causing a performance-related event is disclosed. The instruction may be detected while in a pipeline stage of a microprocessor preceding a writeback stage and the microprocessor's architectural state may not be updated until after information identifying the instruction is captured. The instruction may be flushed from the pipeline, along with other instructions from the same thread. A hardware trap may be taken when the instruction is detected and/or when an event counter overflows or is within a given range of overflowing. A software trap handler may capture and/or log information identifying the instruction, such as one or more extended address elements, before returning control and initiating a retry of the instruction. The captured and/or logged information may be stored in an event space database usable by a data space profiler to identify performance bottlenecks in the application containing the instruction.

13/607175

Inventors:

Paul N. Loewenstein - Palo Alto CA, US
Mark A. Luttrell - Cedar Park TX, US
Paul J. Jordan - Austin TX, US

International Classification:

G06F 9/312

US Classification:

712225, 712E09033

Abstract:

Techniques are disclosed relating to suspending execution of a processor thread while monitoring for a write to a specified memory location. An execution subsystem may be configured to perform a load instruction that causes the processor to retrieve data from a specified memory location and atomically begin monitoring for a write to the specified location. The load instruction may be a load-monitor instruction. The execution subsystem may be further configured to perform a wait instruction that causes the processor to suspend execution of a processor thread during at least a portion of an interval specified by the wait instruction and to resume execution of the processor thread at the end of the interval. The wait instruction may be a monitor-wait instruction. The processor may be further configured to resume execution of the processor thread in response to detecting a write to a memory location specified by a previous monitor instruction.

Appl. No.:

17/342370

Inventors:

- Sunnyvale CA, US
Paul Jordan - Millbrae CA, US

International Classification:

B65D 47/08
B65D 47/00
B65D 51/18
B01L 3/00
B65D 25/04
