Dynamically managing saved processor soft states |
摘要 |
A method and system are disclosed for managing stored soft state information, such as the contents of cache memory and address translation information that are non-critical for executing a process within a processor. The soft states of idle processes are stored in system memory in virtual caches. Cache coherency of the soft states is maintained by snooping kill-type operations against the virtual caches in system memory.
