Memory addressing controlled by PTE fields

Embodiments of the present invention enable virtual-to-physical memory address translation using optimized bank and partition interleave patterns to improve memory bandwidth by distributing data accesses over multiple banks and multiple partitions. Each virtual page has a corresponding page table entry that specifies the physical address of the virtual page in linear physical address space. The page table entry also includes a data kind field that is used to guide and optimize the mapping process from the linear physical address space to the DRAM physical address space, which is used to directly access one or more DRAM. The DRAM physical address space includes a row, bank and column address. The data kind field is also used to optimize the starting partition number and partition interleave pattern that defines the organization of the selected physical page of memory within the DRAM memory system.

Access to the simulated asset can be provided in a fashion so that a user, who is likely an intruder, is unaware that they are not receiving the secured asset information. A tracking action can he optionally initiated against the intruder. Further, user behavior with the simulated session or a limited access session can be compared against a behavior profile to dynamically increase or decrease session permissions.

Speculative memory prefetch

A system and method for pre-fetching data from system memory. A multi-core processor accesses a cache hit predictor concurrently with sending a memory request to a cache subsystem. The predictor has two tables. The first table is indexed by a portion of a memory address and provides a hit prediction based on a first counter value. The second table is indexed by a core number and provides a hit prediction based on a second counter value. If neither table predicts a hit, a pre-fetch request is sent to memory. In response to detecting said hit prediction is incorrect, the pre-fetch is cancelled.

Technique for efficiently transferring moderate amounts of data across address space boundary

A method and apparatus for performing efficient interprocess communication (IPC) in a computer system. With this invention, a memory region called the IPC transfer region is shared among all processes of the system to enable more efficient IPC. The unique physical address of the region is mapped into a virtual address from each of the address spaces of the processes of the system. When one of the processes needs to transfer data to another of the processes, the first process stores arguments describing the data in the region using the virtual address in its address space that maps into the unique physical address. When the other or second process needs to receive the data, the second process reads the data from the second region using the virtual address in its memory space that maps into the unique physical address. With this invention, in most cases, control of the IPC transfer region occurs automatically without any kernel intervention.
