TRANSLATION MANAGEMENT INSTRUCTIONS FOR UPDATING ADDRESS TRANSLATION DATA STRUCTURES IN REMOTE PROCESSING NODES |
摘要 |
Translation management instructions are used in a multi-node data processing system to facilitate remote management of address translation data structures distributed throughout such a system. Thus, in multi-node data processing systems where multiple processing nodes collectively handle a workload, the address translation data structures for such nodes may be collectively managed to minimize translation misses and the performance penalties typically associated therewith. |

1. A method of processing an instruction in a data processing system, wherein the data processing system includes a plurality of processing nodes, and wherein each processing node among the plurality of processing nodes includes an address translation data structure, the method comprising:
decoding a translation management instruction in a first processing node among the plurality of processing nodes, wherein the translation management instruction is defined in an instruction set for the first processing node; and in response to decoding the translation management instruction in the first processing node, performing a first, local operation on the address translation data structure in the first processing node and initiating a second, remote operation on the address translation data structure in a second processing node among the plurality of processing nodes.
