This application claims the benefit of the filing date of provisional application Ser. No. 60/301,602, filed Jun. 27, 2001.
The invention is directed to a generic semaphore management method and subsystem which is adapted for use with a plurality of different multi-threaded processor systems.
While the invention is generic in nature and capable of use with a large variety of multi-threaded processor systems, it will be described in conjunction with a multi-threaded processor system such as the IBM Part No. IBM32NPR161EPXCAE133 Network Processor which employs a plurality of processors each of which concurrently process data frames. The individual threads/processors share common resources in the network processor. Semaphores defined to be associated with specific resources are used to allocate the specific resources to the individual threads as requested.
Within such a network processor several data frames are processed at the same time. Each frame is processed by one processor/thread. Each processor/thread operates independently from all the other processors/threads. Thus, as the software (picocode) processes a data frame, the software has no knowledge of other frames which have been, are being, or will be processed. As frames are processed, a thread may need access to a shared resource. This shared resource is shared among all threads. To allow a thread access to the resource without interference from other threads, semaphores are used. A semaphore is a mechanism which allows a processor/thread to use a resource without interference from another processor/thread. Semaphores exist in almost every multi-processor environment where multiple processors can access common resources. A semaphore is used to ensure that one and only one processor/thread has "ownership" or use of a given resource at any given time.
A network processor is a multi-processor environment with resources which can be accessed by all processors/threads. Thus, semaphores are an intricate part of network processors. As discussed above, network processors process frames which belong to one or more flows. Traditionally, semaphores are implemented in software using "read modify write" or "test and set" instructions. When these instructions are used as a basis to create and allocate semaphores, valuable system resources must be used. To implement a semaphore, system memory must be used. To access a semaphore, several lines of code must be executed. If these system resources were not used for semaphore implementation, they could be used for other functions or provide a performance increase by not executing extra line(s) of code.
When semaphores are implemented in software, several lines of code must be executed to access and lock the semaphore, thus impacting performance. If the semaphore is unavailable (locked by another thread/processor), the software would need to poll on the semaphore. This would waste valuable bandwidth on the arbitrated memory holding semaphore locks to be accessed by all threads/processors. To implement a fair semaphore access in software requires more system memory and lines of code. For example, if a semaphore is locked, the thread/processor would need to put itself in a queue waiting for access. This queue would be implemented in system memory and require software management, impacting performance. This allows threads/processors to have fair access to resources.
In a software semaphore environment, multiple threads/processors cannot unlock their respective semaphores at the same time. Typically, all the semaphores are in the same system memory. Each thread/processor must arbitrate to access the memory to unlock their semaphore. This may add to the processing time of other threads/processors waiting to access the same memory to access the semaphore locks. The same is true for locking semaphores. When semaphores are implemented in software, only one semaphore can be unlocked/locked at a time since all the semaphores reside in a common area of system memory.
The invention contemplates a generic method and apparatus for managing semaphores in a multi-threaded processing system. The invention uses a non-system memory which has a storage area for each of the threads in the processing system. Each storage area includes a first part for storing at least one indicia for identifying at least one unique semaphore from a plurality of semaphores utilized by the multi-threaded processing system and a second part for storing an indicia for indicating a locked status for the stored semaphore. A thread requiring a semaphore sends a semaphore lock request to the semaphore manager which examines the contents of all of the storage areas to determine if a locked semaphore corresponding to the requested semaphore is stored in any of the storage areas.
If a locked semaphore corresponding to the requested semaphore is not found the semaphore manager stores the requested semaphore in the storage area associated with the requesting thread along with a locked status indicia and notifies the requesting thread that the request is granted. The request is rejected if the same locked semaphore is found in the memory and is locked by the requesting thread. The request is held in abeyance if the same locked semaphore is found in the memory but is not locked by the requesting thread and the request does not include a time out enable bit which is set to one.
When a thread issues an unlock signal the semaphore manager unlocks the semaphore associated with the thread sending the unlock signal. In response to an exit signal from a thread the semaphore manager examines the storage location associated with the thread providing the exit signal to determine if the semaphore is unlocked and unlocks the semaphore if it is locked and generates a semaphore locked exit error message for return to the associated thread.
Each of the processors 13-1-13-n includes a semaphore coprocessor 13 p which interfaces a hardware semaphore manager subsystem 16 constructed according to the invention. The semaphore subsystem 16 is implemented in hardware and interfaces with, for example, the Dyadic Protocol Processor Unit (DPPU) of the using processing system. Each DPPU contains four threads which can each process one data frame. Each DPPU has one Semaphore Co-Processor associated with it. The threads in a given DPPU interface to the one Semaphore Co-Processor within the DPPU. The multiple Semaphore Co-Processors all communicate with the central Semaphore Manager subsystem. The Semaphore Manager subsystem 16 contains all of the tables, and control logic to lock, unlock, and arbitrate for semaphores.
Only one processor instruction is executed to lock a semaphore, and only one processor instruction is executed to unlock a semaphore. This saves instruction memory and processing time when compared to software implementations of semaphores. An unlock instruction from a thread executes immediately. Nothing can block unlock instructions within the Semaphore Manager subsystem, including other unlock instructions from other threads. When semaphores are implemented in software, only one semaphore can be unlocked at a time since all the semaphores reside in a common area of system memory.
Fairness algorithms can be implemented in the Hardware Semaphore Manager subsystem. This provides fairness of access to a semaphore when multiple threads/processors are making simultaneous requests. This eliminates the need for software and system memory to be utilized to implement fairness algorithms. This increases performance by reducing frame processing time and instruction memory utilization, and does not use any system memory.
The Hardware Semaphore Manager subsystem contains the semaphores. Each semaphore is an N bit value. For example, each semaphore could be 32 bits. This allow 2^32 resources to be managed by the Semaphore Manager. Since the Semaphore Manager subsystem is generic and designed to be used by a wide variety of systems, it is the responsibility of the using system programmer to attach a meaning to a semaphore. That is, the Semaphore Manager does not know what a Semaphore represents. It is just a string of 32 bits. Semaphores can be seen as having 32-bit address space and the programmer can map this to anything, like the Tree Search Memory, the Data Store, the Embedded PowerPC, etc. There are two advantages here. First, no system memory is used for semaphore management. Second, the Hardware Semaphore Manager implementation is generic with respect to the number of and types of system resources which must be managed by semaphores. As the Network Processor evolves and shared resources are added or removed, the Semaphore Manager does not need to change. The Hardware Semaphore Co-processor and Manager does not use any system memory. This eliminates the need for memory accesses, and allows the memory bandwidth to be used for other functions.
A semaphore can be locked when a software thread issues a single command "Semaphore Lock" (Sem_Lock) with two parameters. The first parameter is the "Semaphore Value" (Sem_Val). This is, for example, a 32 bit value which the thread wishes to lock. The second parameter is the "Timeout Enable" (Timeout_Enable) bit. When the Timeout Enable bit is set and the requested semaphore is already locked by a different thread, the Semaphore Lock command will terminate without locking the semaphore.
In the preferred embodiment, each thread has an assigned register in the semaphore value storage and is thus identified as the source of the semaphore value requested. Alternatively, the requested semaphore value could be placed in any available register along with the thread ID.
If the Semaphore Lock command does win the round-robin selection, the logic flow continues to block 130. At block 130, the Semaphore Value (Sem_Val) parameter received with the Semaphore lock command is checked to determine if this 32 bit value (Sem_Val) is already locked. This is accomplished by comparing the Sem_Val to the contents of the Semaphore_Value registers in
If the Sem_Val is locked, block 150 checks if the Sem_Val is already locked by thread N, the same thread which is requesting to lock it again. If thread N is attempting to lock the Sem_Val for which it has already locked, block 160 will generate an error signal to the software program on thread N at block 160 and signals the Semaphore Lock command is complete at block 190.
If the Sem_Val is locked (go to block 150) and it is not locked by thread N, the thread requesting the Sem_Val to be locked, control is passed to block 170. At block 170, the Timeout_Enable parameter is checked. If the Timeout_Enable parameter is not set (logic '0'b), this Sem_Lock command is returned to the round-robin selection algorithm, block 110. This allows the Sem_Val command to eventually lock the Sem_Val once it becomes unlocked. If the Timeout_Enable parameter is set (logic '1'b) at block 170, block 180 will signal the software program that the Sem_Val was not able to be locked for thread N. The Semaphore Lock command is complete at block 190.
If the Semaphore_Lock register is '1'b, the thread has a locked semaphore. At block 420, the Semaphore_Lock register is cleared to '0'b. At block 430, a "Semaphore Locked at Exit" error is generated.

Brothers In Arms: Furious Four was a weird departure from Gearbox's venerable WW2 series, so weird that it ended up being spun off into its own thing, leaving the BiA franchise behind altogether.
Brothers In Arms: Furious Four was a weird departure from Gearbox's venerable WW2 series, so weird that it ended up being spun off into its own thing, leaving the BiA franchise behind altogether.
You won't be seeing Brothers In Arms: Furious Four anymore, developer Gearbox announced at their PAX Prime panel today. They haven't canceled the game, though. They've just changed it so much that it's now an entirely new game.
While there were rumours earlier this year that Brothers in Arms: Furious Four, the Inglorious Basterds-esque shooter from Gearbox, had been cancelled, turns out that's not the case.
We haven't heard much out of Brothers in Arms: Furious 4, a game announced a year ago at E3, one that is quite a departure from the tone of other games preceding it. That, coupled with the lapsed trademarks surrounding the game, sent out the rumor that the game was canceled.
At last year's E3, lots of people sat up and took notice at Brothers in Arms: Furious 4, Gearbox Studios' radical reinvention of their earnest World War II first-person-shooter franchise.
The next Brothers in Arms will be the E3-announced over-the-top, gleeful Nazi-killing Furious 4, but fans of the series' earlier historically authentic games need not fret. "We're going to do more of that," Gearbox chief Randy PItchford said at PAX today. More of Sgt. Baker's exploits are in the works, but he had…
Gearbox Studios will be releasing a new game in the Brothers in Arms series, it was revealed today during Ubisoft's E3 press conference.
This may be a bit of a leap. But we've spotted Gearbox Software's Randy Pitchford in the VIP section for Ubisoft's upcoming press conference.
Borderlands is a fresh take on the first-person shooter. Even then, there was concern at developer Gearbox Software about the game standing out in the crowded FPS genre.
In game after game, there they are: guns. Weapons are a common trope. They are a catalyst for action and an instrument for destruction. In-game guns and, well, guns are different. What do game developers know about the real deal?
In the 1940s, 1950s and right on through the 1960s, Hollywood churned out war epic after war epic. Sure, we still get war movies, but Hollywood isn't exactly popping them out bam bam bam. Video game developers are. But why?
War is a theme that has always been found in the video game medium; leaps in game presentation have typically corresponded to some kind of combat themed game.
Gameloft have released Brothers In Arms: Hour Of Heroes for the iPhone, bringing 14 missions over 3 theater campaigns to your pocket.
Update: Gearbox president Randy Pitchford tells us that the Sega published Aliens project is still on, that the independent developer has been undergoing "some transformative changes" resulting in "some talent changes." His full statement is after the original report. We've heard from multiple sources that Gearbox…
We'd have thrown in some quip about this being the 1,174th time Brothers In Arms: Hell's Highway has been delayed, but since that cut a little too close to the bone we let it slide. This one's not too bad, however: the "glass is half full" brigade can console themselves with the fact it's only for a month, with the…
My colleague Tracey John at the Multiplayer blog appears to have outdone herself, indexing 31 video game comics. Did we know there were Doom and Mega Man comics?

Heritage Hotel Osogbo Reviews
102 reviews
OK budget hotel in Osogbo Feb 05, 2012
I spent just one night at the Heritage Hotel in Osogbo. The Hotel is
located in the south part of town just off the road to Ibadan/Lagos. The hotel complex itself was fairly large, you must walk in past the restaurant and an outside bar area before reception. They had a single room for 3250 Naira ($20) with A/C, fridge, TV and a fan. The bathroom was very basic, with a bucket shower.. no toilet paper (which I'd forgotten to bring), towels or soap.... The hotel has an onsite restaurant and bar.

Win 7 Home Premium x64
Isn't it not showing because there are no pending updates? The next time there are updates it will show and stay in the tray until you install them.
I don't think it is supposed to stay there if there are no pending updates. In other words it sounds as if it is behaving properly.
|My System Specs
|23 Aug 2011
No your misunderstanding.That update icon will only show if there is an update.If all icons showed all the time the system tray would be a mess.Only "active icons" (anything that's running or needs attention) will show no matter what preferences you have set. You have the option to show or hide the icons but if the program is not in use yet they wont show until activated.
I Hope this explains things for you
|My System Specs
|23 Aug 2011
I'm struggling to understand what you view to be a problem, so I'll fire a blind shot - the windows update notification icon is by design not supposed to be hanging around in the tray all the time. It is designed to show up for a short period from the detection of an available update, through installation, and after reporting that the update was succesfully installed, it should disappear until the next update process.
|My System Specs
|24 Aug 2011
Hi Teerex and other helpers,
this sounds reasonable, but there is a "but", so Teerex I explain the problem in more detail: First, before this icon disappeared, it was there, even without updates pending. Second, if icons would show up only when sth needs attention, the option "show symbol and notification" would make no sense because this would be the option "only show notification". To make my problem clearer: The notification area has two parts, one which is visible all the time and one which is hidden and may be opened by clicking on the ^ symbol. I am concerned with the latter one. All those icons which I set to "show symbol and notifications" are visible in the hidden part as long there is no notification – except the Windows update symbol. This one is not shown either in the hidden nor in the visible part of the notification area. But "show symbol and notification" does not mean "only show notification" but "show it in the hidden part of the n. area as long there is no notification". In other words, for the Windows update symbol the option "only show notification" is working properly, but the option "show symbol and notification" is not working. One can live without it, that's true, but anyway it is a function not working and I do not like that.
|My System Specs
|24 Aug 2011
Hello again bugs6
Let me try and make this clearer for you. Firstly, if the update icon was on your system tray all of the time previously then that's not normal behaviour, it normally shows only when there is actions pending.
1) Hide Notification=The icon will never show in either part of the system tray, the visible part or the hidden^part.
2)Only show notifications=The icon will display in the system tray if there is actions pending.If there is no pending action to take it will either 1)Sit in the ^ part of the system tray if the process is running 2)Not show at all if its not been used but will show if there a notification.
3)Show icon and notification =The icon will show in the main part of the system tray permanently but only if the process is running.
Think of it like this, what's the point in having an icon displayed if the process isn't running.
Hope this helps

I/OMagic Launches Line of Sound Assault HeadphonesTrue 5.1 channel surround sound headphones now available. (June 07, 2004)
I/OMagic Corporation, a provider of data storage and digital entertainment products, announced today that it has launched its first product in what it expects will be a line of high quality headphones for the personal computer (PC) and consumer electronics marketplaces.
The first headphones in the new line are I/OMagic's Sound Assault 5.1 Channel Surround Sound Headphones. Features include a power amplifier, which also acts as a control station, eight independent speakers and the ability to easily connect to a 5.1 enabled PC, home audio system or a DVD player.
"With the growing popularity of digital music and digital video, we believe consumers want the best in quality headphones at price points offering a good value. We're excited to bring the first headphones in the Sound Assault product line to market," said Tony Andrews, Vice President of Engineering and Product Development for I/OMagic Corporation.
"The Sound Assault 5.1 Channel Surround Sound Headphones are bundled with WinDVD software. WinDVD allows you to watch Dolby DTS surround sound enabled DVDs on a PC enabled with a 5.1 sound system, just as you would with a home theater system," Andrews continued. "The additional WinRip software also allows you to convert standard stereo songs to simulated 5.1 channel surround sound."
The Sound Assault 5.1 Channel Surround Sound Headphones also feature a volume control for each channel, built-in bass "rumble" effects, dual headphone outlets for multiple users and support DVD playback in AC3 and DTS formats through the included software. I/OMagic recently began shipping these headphones with an introductory price of $99.99.
About I/OMagic
I/OMagic provides data storage products (such as CD-RW, DVD+/-RW and floppy drives, including its MediaStation and DataStation products) and digital entertainment products (such as MP3 players, digital audio headphones, and its Digital Photo Library system which is a palm-sized portable external hard drive for digital music, photo and movie storage). The Company sells products under three brand names -- I/OMagic, Hi-Val and Digital Research Technologies -- through nationally-recognized computer, consumer electronics and office supply superstores and other retailers, such as Best Buy, CompUSA, Circuit City, Fred Meyer Stores, MicroCenter, Office Depot, RadioShack, Staples and Target stores, as well as catalog companies and Internet retailers such as Buy.com, PC Mall, Tiger Direct and Dell.

text: I am taking on my first boulder wall soon. My foreman has plenty of experience building them, but hes not the brightest on the bidding side. The wall will consist of 18-24" granite boulders. The total width of the hill is 60ft. There is going to be a 5' wide set of stairs going down the middle. The wall will be three teers. So this is really going to be 6 different walls of about 28 feet wide. They will only be 1 boulder high. According to my product book there is appx 10sqft per ton when using 18-24" boulders. Couple of questions now, how do I figure out how many square feet each boulder is roughly. Secondly how does my install plan sound. I ran it by my foreman and he said it seems good but I want a few other opinons. We will start at the top and work our way down. Using a mini ex dig into the hill for the first set of stones put down some 3/4" crushed agg......lay the boulders and back fill with more crushed agg then cover with dirt and just keep working our way down. Does that sound right or no? Lastly how would I go about determining how much crushed agg I will need. Is there a formula to figure that out. Since it needs to be compacted and all

I created some jewellery on Wednesday and have some pictures to show you. First up is a necklace and earring set for my Grandma. She is a stylish lady who likes to have earrings that match her necklaces. I don't know if she will like these or not so I will be anxious to see what she thinks on Mother's Day.
After taking these photos I decided I didn't like how the little stones and crystals were hanging in the glass hoops so I wanted to put jump rings in to make them dangle better.
Now, I need to figures something out for my Mom but she sometimes reads my blog so I won't be able to post it until after Mother's Day. I hope everyone has a great Mother's Day weekend. I will be drawing the winners of my two Sew Mama Sew giveaways tonight at 5:00 PST (6:00 MST) so get your entries in before then if you haven't already. (See posts from Monday and Wednesday.)

God Has a Plan: I have asked God to take control of my life, and told Him "not my will but His," giving Him free reign in my life. Yet when things happen in my life that I don't consider good, I immediately cry and complain to Him.
The bible says His ways are not our ways, but it seems because I don't necessarily like the circumstances He's using to bring about change in my life that maybe I'm not really giving Him free reign.
God uses whatever He considers necessary to bring about the change in our lives that He desires. We really need to learn and know that not everything He causes or allows to happen in our lives is going to be comfortable for us, or even seem good at the time.
I just lost my job of 19 years and right now it couldn't seem darker in my life, but I know God has a plan for my life, and obviously it includes this major change. Somehow this is going to move me in some direction or to some place that He wants me to be.
It's definitely not comfortable for me and I can't lie and say that I like it. I am way more like the children of Israel when they were in the wilderness than I care to admit. Although He had delivered them from so much already, and was providing for their every need, (not want but need), proving to them that they could trust Him, they still complained over every little thing.
They were always ready to believe the worst about God, that He really didn't care about them, wouldn't take care of them, didn't really love them. If He did, why would He let these bad things keep happening. Exactly like me. Maybe, exactly like you.
But listen people, God has a plan. He doesn't exist to serve us- we exist to serve Him. Sometimes we get too comfortable in this life. God is good and gracious, and the more comfortable we get, the more we care about us and the less we care about others.
God created us, He understands our nature, and like a painter who is finishing his creation, He is constantly touching us up here and there, so that in the end , His work of art will be exactly the way He wants it.
I wrote a little note awhile back and I think it applies perfectly here - "my life is not turning out the way I wanted it , but maybe it is turning out exactly the way God wants it."
I am still praying "not my will, but yours," just like Jesus did, and like others, I have to add, "forgive my unbelief", and trust Him to get me through this difficult time.
When we tell Him, "use me any way you want, take control of my life," we better be ready to believe His word and trust Him completely; because things are going to change, and we are going to see just how much we really do need Him in our lives, and just how much He can accomplish through a faithful servant.

Subscriber John Mitzi wrote to ask for help with a problem that wasn't getting answered:
Could you please solve a problem for me that no one at Microsoft or HP seem to know anything about.
Windows Media player became corrupt. I uninstalled it and proceeded to reinstall it. At one point I got
the message, "Enter Windows Validation Code."
No one seems to know what this code is. It must be
some place since it asked for it. Any suggestions?
Joe Mitzi
I wrote back to Joe to suggest that he had probably downloaded the file from microsoft.com using something other than Internet Explorer.
Microsoft has started making free software available to licensed Windows users only. When you try to download a program, their website often requires that you let their software test to make sure your Windows copy is legitimate.
That can happen pretty much automatically with an Active-X "control" (really a cute, misleading name for a program) when you use Internet Explorer, although you are able to control whether the test is done or not.
If you don't use Internet Explorer when you try to download programs from microsoft.com, you get a different result.
If you use Firefox, for example, instead of Internet Explorer, Microsoft requires you to download a special Windows validation program and run it, and then provide them with the resulting code in order to download the program.
Joe's experience indicates to me that he may have to enter the code again, when he starts the actual installation.
Alternatively, he might have downloaded the program sometime in the past, and be trying to install it from that earlier download. In that case, he's running into the same test.
I suggested that the easiest solution was to use Internet Explorer to visit www.microsoft.com and download the program again.
Although I don't use Internet Explorer on my own personal computers for normal web browsing (I use Firefox), I always use Internet Explorer when I go to www.microsoft.com.

Dear Terry:
Thank you very kindly for your much appreciated email. I really enjoy reading your tips and tell all my friends about them.

La Sportiva Fireblade Sizing
I have not used these yet (they just arrived) but wanted to comment on the sizing - I read they ran small, so I ordered a half size larger than I wear. That said, they seem to run true to size (mine are about a half size too big) and are great for my wide feet. I cannot wait to get our and use them once the thaw begins.

1 employee hurt in Ohio veterans hospital shooting
Credit: The Associated Press
DAYTON, Ohio — A Veterans Affairs hospital employee and a retired worker were struggling over a gun in a break room Monday when the firearm went off, leading to the employee's shooting and the retiree's arrest, police said.
The victim, a 61-year-old man, was shot once in the ankle, said Dayton Police Chief Richard Biehl. The suspect, Neil Moore, 59, was taken into custody after seeking psychiatric treatment at a different hospital a few miles away, Biehl said.
"Somehow he was able to get from here to there," the chief said.

Today, I went to the beach front with my kids.
I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She put the shell to her ear
and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off

Moaning, heavy breathing, and screaming could be heard at a Target store in California on Wednesday, and unfortunately it wasn't coming from the cheap electronic ghosts in the Halloween aisle. Gina Young was shopping with her 3 year old twin boys when porn audio began blaring over the loudspeakers.
"What is going on at Target right now?!" Young asks in a video she posted on Instagram of the incident.
