    Abstract: An apparatus and method are described for performing a cache line write back operation. For example, one embodiment of a method comprises: initiating a cache line write back operation directed to a particular linear address; determining if a dirty cache line identified by the linear address exists at any cache of a cache hierarchy comprised of a plurality of cache levels; writing back the dirty cache line to memory if the dirty cache line exists in one of the caches; and responsively maintaining or placing the dirty cache line in an exclusive state in at least a first cache of the hierarchy.

    Abstract: Embodiments of an invention for signaling software recoverable errors are disclosed. In one embodiment, a processor includes a first unit, a programmable indicator, and a second unit. The first unit is to detect a poison error. The programmable indicator is to indicate whether the poison error is signaled as a machine check error or as one of a fault and a system management interrupt. The second unit is to signal the poison error as one of a fault and a system management error responsive to the programmable indicator.

    Abstract: Techniques for transferring virtual machines and resource management in a virtualized computing environment are described. In one embodiment, for example, an apparatus may include at least one memory, at least one processor, and logic for transferring a virtual machine (VM), at least a portion of the logic comprised in hardware coupled to the at least one memory and the at least one processor, the logic to generate a plurality of virtualized capability registers for a virtual device (VDEV) by virtualizing a plurality of device-specific capability registers of a physical device to be virtualized by the VM, the plurality of virtualized capability registers comprising a plurality of device-specific capabilities of the physical device, determine a version of the physical device to support via a virtual machine monitor (VMM), and expose a subset of the virtualized capability registers associated with the version to the VM. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    Abstract: Embodiments of apparatuses, methods, and systems for hardware manage address translation services are described. In an embodiment, an apparatus includes a first interconnect, a second interconnect, address translation hardware, a device, a translation lookaside buffer. The address translation hardware is coupled to the interconnect and is to provide a translation of a first address to a second address. The device is coupled to the first interconnect and the second interconnect and is to provide the first address to the address translation hardware through the first interconnect. The translation lookaside buffer includes an entry to store the translation, which is to be provided to the translation lookaside buffer through the first interconnect by the address translation hardware. The device is to access a system memory through the second interconnect using the second address from the entry in the translation lookaside buffer. The second interconnect is in the only path between the device and the system memory.
