20090157981 | COHERENT INSTRUCTION CACHE UTILIZING CACHE-OP EXECUTION RESOURCES - A multiprocessor system maintains cache coherence among processors in a coherent domain. Within the coherent domain, a first processor can receive a command to perform a cache maintenance operation. The first processor can determine whether the cache maintenance operation is a coherent operation. For coherent operations, the first processor sends a coherent request message for distribution to other processors in the coherent domain and can cancel execution of the cache maintenance operation pending receipt of intervention messages corresponding to the coherent request. The intervention messages can reflect a global ordering of coherence traffic in the multiprocessor system and can include instructions for maintaining a data cache and an instruction cache of the first processor. Cache maintenance operations that are determined to be non-coherent can be executed at the first processor without sending the coherent request. | 06-18-2009 |
20090164733 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE EXCLUSIVITY MODE OF A LEVEL-TWO CACHE - A method of controlling the exclusivity mode of a level-two cache includes generating level-two cache exclusivity control information at a processor in response to an exclusivity mode indicator, and utilizing the level-two cache exclusivity control information to configure the exclusivity mode of the level-two cache. | 06-25-2009 |
20100115244 | MULTITHREADING MICROPROCESSOR WITH OPTIMIZED THREAD SCHEDULER FOR INCREASING PIPELINE UTILIZATION EFFICIENCY - A multithreading processor for concurrently executing multiple threads is provided. The processor includes an execution pipeline and a thread scheduler that dispatches instructions of the threads to the execution pipeline. The execution pipeline execution pipeline is configured for generating a thread context (TC) flush indicator associated with a thread context when one or more instructions of the thread context would stall in the execution pipeline. One or more instructions in the pipeline of the thread context associated with the thread context flush signal can be flushed or nullified. | 05-06-2010 |
20110153945 | Apparatus and Method for Controlling the Exclusivity Mode of a Level-Two Cache - A method of controlling the exclusivity mode of a level-two cache includes generating level-two cache exclusivity control information at a processor in response to an exclusivity mode indicator, and utilizing the level-two cache exclusivity control information to configure the exclusivity mode of the level-two cache. | 06-23-2011 |

20090100403 | Automatically Analyzing and Modifying a Graphical Program - A system and method for programmatically analyzing and modifying a graphical program. The graphical program may be stored in a memory. The graphical program may then be programmatically analyzed. In various embodiments, the graphical program may be a graphical program that performs any function for any application, and the graphical program may be analyzed to determine any information or characteristics regarding the graphical program. One or more suggested modifications to the graphical program may be displayed based on the programmatic analysis performed on the graphical program. The user may be able to select which of the suggested modifications to automatically apply to the graphical program. The graphical program may then be programmatically modified to implement the one or more suggested modifications selected by the user. | 04-16-2009 |
20090132940 | Automatically Analyzing and Modifying a Remote Graphical Program via a Network - A system and method for programmatically analyzing and modifying a graphical program via a network. The graphical program may be stored on a memory medium at a first location. A program may be executed on a computer system at a second location. The computer system at the second location may be coupled via a network to the memory medium at the first location or may be coupled to a computer system or device which includes or has access to the memory medium at the first location. The program on the computer system at the second location may execute to programmatically analyze the graphical program via the network. In one embodiment the program on the computer system at the second location may also execute to programmatically modify the graphical program via the network, based on the programmatic analysis of the graphical program. | 05-21-2009 |
20100058292 | Automatically Correcting Problems Found During Programmatic Analysis of a Graphical Program - A system and method for visually indicating one or more problems in a graphical program. The graphical program may be programmatically analyzed to discover a problem (or potential problem) in the graphical program. The problem found during the programmatic analysis of the graphical program may then be visually indicated on a display device. Visually indicating the problem may comprise visually indicating one or more objects in the graphical program to which the problem corresponds. Visually indicating the graphical program object(s) may comprise displaying information or altering the appearance of the object(s) in order to call the user's attention to the object(s). | 03-04-2010 |
20100058296 | Programmatic Analysis of Graphical Sub-Programs within a Graphical Program - A system and method for visually indicating one or more problems in a graphical program. The graphical program may be programmatically analyzed to discover a problem (or potential problem) in the graphical program. The problem found during the programmatic analysis of the graphical program may then be visually indicated on a display device. Visually indicating the problem may comprise visually indicating one or more objects in the graphical program to which the problem corresponds. Visually indicating the graphical program object(s) may comprise displaying information or altering the appearance of the object(s) in order to call the user's attention to the object(s). | 03-04-2010 |
