    Abstract: Memory management in a computer system is improved by preventing a subset of address translation information from being replaced with other types of address translation information in a cache memory reserved for storing such address translation information for faster access by a CPU. This way, the CPU can identify the subset of address translation information stored in the cache.

    Abstract: A system and method for communicating instructions and data between a processor and external devices are provided. The system and method make use of a channel interface as the primary mechanism for communicating between the processor and a memory flow controller. The channel interface provides channels for communicating with processor facilities, memory flow control facilities, machine state registers, and external processor interrupt facilities, for example. These channels may be designated as blocking or non-blocking. With blocking channels, when no data is available to be read from the corresponding registers, or there is no space available to write to the corresponding registers, the processor is placed in a low power "stall" state. The processor is automatically awakened, via communication across the blocking channel, when data becomes available or space is freed. Thus, the channels of the present invention permit the processor to stay in a low power state.

    Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a computer program are provided for controlling memory access. Direct Memory Access (DMA) units have become commonplace in a number of bus architectures. However, managing limited system resources has become a challenge with multiple DMA units. In order to mange the multitude of commands generated and preserve dependencies, embedded flags in commands or a barrier command are used. These operations then can control the order in which commands are executed so as to preserve dependencies.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and a method for communicating command parameters between a processor and a memory flow controller. SOLUTION: This application utilizes a channel interface as a main mechanism for communication between the processor and the memory flow controller. The channel interface provides a channel for executing communication with, for instance, a processor facility, a memory flow control facility, a machine status register, and an external processor interrupt facility. When data to be read from a corresponding register by a blocking channel are not usable or there is no writing space in the corresponding register, the processor is brought into a low-power "stall" state. When the data are made usable or a space is released, the processor is automatically called via communication on the blocking channel. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

    Abstract: The present invention provides for managing an atomic facility cache write back state machine. A first write back selection is made. A reservation pointer pointing to the reserved line in the atomic facility data array is established. A next write back selection is made. An entry for the reservation pointer from the next write back selection is removed, whereby the valid reservation line is precluded from being selected for the write back. This prevents a modified command from being invalidated.
