Method And Apparatus For Managing Processing Thread Migration Between Clusters Within A Processor

摘要

A method, and corresponding apparatus, of managing processing thread migrations within a plurality of memory clusters, includes embedding, in memory components of the plurality of memory clusters, instructions indicative of processing thread migrations; storing, in one or more memory components of a particular memory cluster among the plurality of memory clusters, data configured to designate the particular memory cluster as a sink memory cluster, the sink memory cluster preventing an incoming migrated processing thread from migrating out of the sink memory cluster; and processing one or more processing threads, in one or more of the plurality of memory clusters, in accordance with at least one of the embedded migration instructions and the data stored in the one or more memory components of the sink memory cluster.

1. A method of managing processing thread migrations within a plurality of memory clusters, the method comprising:
embedding, in memory components of the plurality of memory clusters, instructions indicative of processing thread migrations, wherein the instructions indicative of processing thread migrations include instructions preventing migrating a processing thread to a memory cluster from which the processing thread migrated previously; and processing one or more processing threads, in one or more of the plurality of memory clusters, in accordance with at least one of the embedded migration instructions.
