INSTRUCTION SET EXTENSION CONCEALMENT IN DATA CENTERS

摘要

Technologies are generally described for systems, devices and methods effective to execute a first computing task by a processor of a data center. In some examples, the first computing task may be executed using an instruction set extension. Execution of the first computing task using the instruction set extension may require a first number of clock cycles. In other examples, execution of the first computing task without using the instruction set extension may require a second number of clock cycles. In some examples, a savings value may be determined. The savings value may represent a difference between the first number of clock cycles and the second number of clock cycles. An amount of processing time may be allocated on the processor to a second computing task. The amount of processing time may be based on the savings value. The second computing task may be different from the first computing task.

主权项

1. A method to execute a first computing task by a processor of a data center, the method comprising:
executing the first computing task by the processor using an instruction set extension, wherein execution of the first computing task using the instruction set extension requires a first number of clock cycles, and wherein execution of the first computing task without using the instruction set extension requires a second number of clock cycles; determining a savings value, wherein the savings value represents a difference between the first number of clock cycles and the second number of clock cycles; and allocating an amount of processing time on the processor to a second computing task, wherein the amount of processing time is based on the savings value, and wherein the second computing task is different from the first computing task.
