Title:
INSTRUCTIONS TO MARK BEGINNING AND END OF NON-TRANSACTIONAL CODE REGION REQUIRING WRITE BACK TO PERSISTENT STORAGE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2014182836
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a processor which identifies cache lines to be persistently saved in non-volatile random access memory.SOLUTION: A processor 100 comprises an interface to non-volatile random access memory and logic circuitry. The logic circuitry identifies cache lines modified by a transaction which views the non-volatile random access memory as the transaction's persistence storage. The logic circuitry also identifies cache lines modified by a software process other than a transaction that also views the non-volatile random access memory as persistence storage.
