MULTIPLE-PROCESSOR MANAGEMENT

The algorithm below assumes there is symmetry across package boundary if more than

one socket is populated in an MP system.

// Bucket Package IDs and compute processor mask for every package.

PackageNum = 1;

PackageIDBucket[0] = PackageID[0];

ProcessorMask = 1;

PackageProcessorMask[0] = ProcessorMask;

For (ProcessorNum = 1; ProcessorNum < NumStartedLPs; ProcessorNum++) {

ProcessorMask << = 1;

For (i=0; i < PackageNum; i++) {

// we may be comparing bit-fields of logical processors residing in different

// packages, the code below assume package symmetry

If (PackageID[ProcessorNum] == PackageIDBucket[i]) {

PackageProcessorMask[i] |= ProcessorMask;

Break; // found in existing bucket, skip to next iteration

}

if (i ==PackageNum) {

//PACKAGE_ID did not match any bucket, start new bucket

PackageIDBucket[i] = PackageID[ProcessorNum];

PackageProcessorMask[i] = ProcessorMask;

PackageNum++;

}

// PackageNum has the number of Packages started in OS

// PackageProcessorMask[] array has the processor set of each package

c) Using the list of CORE_ID to count the number of cores in a MP system and construct, for

each core, a multi-bit mask corresponging to those logical processors residing in the same

core.

Processors in the same core can be determined by bucketing the processors with the same

PACKAGE_ID and CORE_ID. Note that code below can BIT OR the values of PACKGE and

CORE ID because they have not been shifted right.

The algorithm below assumes there is symmetry across package boundary if more than one

socket is populated in an MP system.

//Bucketing PACKAGE and CORE IDs and computing processor mask for every core

CoreNum = 1;

CoreIDBucket[0] = PackageID[0] | CoreID[0];

ProcessorMask = 1;

CoreProcessorMask[0] = ProcessorMask;

For (ProcessorNum = 1; ProcessorNum < NumStartedLPs; ProcessorNum++) {

ProcessorMask << = 1;

For (i=0; i < CoreNum; i++) {

// we may be comparing bit-fields of logical processors residing in different

// packages, the code below assume package symmetry
