20140129786REDUCING MICROPROCESSOR PERFORMANCE LOSS DUE TO TRANSLATION TABLE COHERENCY IN A MULTI-PROCESSOR SYSTEM - A translation lookaside buffer coherency unit with Emulated Purge (TCUEP) fetches first instructions for execution in a multi-processor system. The TCUEP associates a first instruction timestamp with each of the first instructions. The TCUEP receives a multi-processor coherency operation and increments the first timestamp value in a master-tag register to form a second timestamp value after receiving the multi-processor coherency operation. The TCUEP fetches, by an instruction fetch unit in the first microprocessor, second instructions for execution in the multiprocessor system. The TCUEP associates a second instruction timestamp with each of the second instructions. The TCUEP enables an emulated purge mechanism to suppress hits in the translation lookaside buffers for the second instructions. The TCUEP after determining the first instructions are complete, purges entries in the translation lookaside buffers and disables the emulated purge mechanism.05-08-2014

The TCUEP detects a multi-processor coherency operation that will cause hit suppression for certain entries in a TLB and purging of certain entries in the TLB. The TCUEP translates a second virtual address for a second instruction into a second physical address and stores the second physical address in a second entry in the TLB. The TCUEP configures a second marker in the second entry to indicate that the hit suppression is not allowed for the second entry, and that the purging is not allowed for the second entry. The TCUEP receives a first address translation request that indicates a hit in the second entry. The TCUEP resolves the first address translation request by returning the second physical address.05-08-2014

20090240908FILTERING PROCESSOR REQUESTS BASED ON IDENTIFIERS - Processing within a computing environment is facilitated by filtering requests of the computing environment. A processing unit that receives a request determines whether it is to perform the request. This determination is made by, for instance, comparing an identifier of the request with an identifier of the processing unit making the determination. If there is a mismatch, then the request is blocked. Other processing within the computing environment is also facilitated by selectively using buffer entries. The selection criteria is based, for instance, on identifier information.09-24-2009
