TL;DR: The processor core and caches of the POWER7 processor chip are significantly enhanced to boost the performance of both single-threaded response-time-oriented, as well as multithreaded, throughput-oriented applications.
Patent
Method and apparatus for adding and removing components of a data processing system without powering down
TL;DR: In this paper, an arbiter, residing within a Host Bridge, Control & Power logic, and a plurality of in-line switch modules coupled to a bus, provides isolation for load(s) connected thereto.
Patent
High performance symmetric multiprocessing systems via super-coherent data mechanisms
TL;DR: In this paper, the coherency protocol of a multiprocessor data processing system is described, which includes processing logic that returns to coherent operations with other processing units responsive to an occurrence of a pre-determined condition.
Patent
Multi-level multiprocessor speculation mechanism
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a processor that reduces the issuing of unnecessary barrier operations during instruction processing, which consists of an instruction sequencing unit and a load store unit (LSU) that issues a group of memory access requests that precede a barrier instruction in an instruction sequence.
Patent
Multiprocessor system in which a cache serving as a highest point of coherency is indicated by a snoop response
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a method of maintaining cache coherency, by designating one cache that owns a line as a highest point of coherence (HPC) for a particular memory block, and sending a snoop response from the cache indicating that it is currently the HPC for the memory block and can service a request.
