Abstract: An instruction to perform a function of a plurality of functions is obtained. The instruction is a single architected instruction of an instruction set architecture that complies to an industry standard for compression. The instruction is executed, and the executing includes performing the function specified by the instruction. The performing includes, based on the function being a compression function or a decompression function, transforming state of input data between an uncompressed form of the input data and a compressed form of the input data to provide a transformed state of data accessing. During performing the function, history relating to the function is accessed. The history is to be used in transforming the state of input data between the uncompressed form and the compressed form.

Abstract: Saving and restoring machine state between multiple executions of an instruction. A determination is made that processing of an operation of an instruction executing on a processor has been interrupted prior to completion. Based on determining that the processing of the operation has been interrupted, current metadata of the processor is extracted. The metadata is stored in a location associated with the instruction and used to re-execute the instruction to resume forward processing of the instruction from where it was interrupted.

Abstract: A Sort Lists instruction is provided to perform a sort and/or a merge operation. The instruction is an architected machine instruction of an instruction set architecture and is executed by a general-purpose processor of the computing environment. The executing includes sorting a plurality of input lists to obtain one or more sorted output lists, which are output.

Abstract: Processing of a storage operand request identified as restrained is selectively, temporarily suppressed. The processing includes identifying a storage operand request as restrained, where the identifying includes obtaining, by a processing unit, an access intent instruction indicating an access intent associated with an operand of a next sequential instruction. The access intent indicates usage of the storage operand request is restrained. Further, the method includes determining whether a storage operand request is to a common storage location shared by multiple processing units of a computing environment and is identified restrained, and based on determining that the storage operand request is restrained, then temporarily suppressing requesting access to the common storage location pursuant to the storage operand request.

Abstract: Processing of a storage operand request identified as restrained is selectively, temporarily suppressed. The processing includes determining whether a storage operand request to a common storage location shared by multiple processing units of a computing environment is restrained, and based on determining that the storage operand request is restrained, then temporarily suppressing requesting access to the common storage location pursuant to the storage operand request. The processing unit performing the processing may proceed with processing of the restrained storage operand request, without performing the suppressing, where the processing can be accomplished using cache private to the processing unit. Otherwise the suppressing may continue until an instruction, or operation of an instruction, associated with the storage operand request is next to complete.
