Abstract:
Increasing the scope of local purges of structures associated with address translation. A hardware thread of a physical core of a machine configuration issues a purge request. A determination is made as to whether the purge request is a local request. Based on the purge request being a local request, entries of a structure associated with address translation are purged on at least multiple hardware threads of a set of hardware threads of the the machine configuration.
