I forgot if a load from the reservation granule would cause a LL/SC to

A LD to the granule would cause loss of write permission, causing a long
delay to perform SC and greatly increase the probability of interference.

So, you need to create a rule. If you program for my system, you MUST 
make sure that everything is properly aligned and padded. Been there, 
done that. Now, think of nefarious agents... I was able to cause damage 
to a simple strong CAS loop with another thread(s) mutating the cache 
line on purpose, as a stress test... CAS would start hitting higher and 
higher failure rates, and finally, hit the BUS to ensure some sort of 
forward progress.

This is why NaKing the interference works better. The interfering agent
takes the timing hit while the ATOMIC event has higher probability of
success.

Also Note: esm is not subject to ABA problem at all--because any interrupt
or exception causes the event to terminate prior to control transfer.

And this is ALSO why there is no thread state associated with esm -- 
excepting the 16-bit WHY value which is only set if/when there are
no {E,I} control transfers.

I am just noticing that the actual physical register name is not needed 
until lookup at the reservation stations. In Qupls4 it can be a few 
clock cycles before the register lookup is done. So, an incorrect one 
could be supplied at the rename stage; it only has to be good enough to 
work out dependencies. Would a sequence number based register name work?
(Rather than reading a fifo). Then it is a matter of correcting it later.

The renamer gives you 2 pieces of information::
a) where
b) when
There are various implementations that define where and when differently,
but the important thing is that you KNOW that they represent where and when.

Where: Where is the physical register name (location) which can be in the
register file(s), the data path, the reorder buffer(s), or instruction 
stations.

When has bet a few states:: states prior to when a dependent instruction
can be launched and capture this result, a couple of states when the inst
can be launched ..., states after result has landed in RoB, and a state 
indicating the value is in the register file.

Where and when interact.

Given where and when one can organize the instruction queueing, data path
forwarding, and the pipelining of operands and results.
-------------------------------------------------------
Me, personally, I like a physical register file
a) which is logically indexed for reads,
b) performs renaming and operand access simultaneously,
c) which is physically indexed for writes,
d) is "repaired" with a history table of valid bits.
e) so, mispredict repair has 0 cycles of latency.

Take the following algorithm for a semaphore:

(remember that old one?)

Okay, on the x86/x64 a LOCK XADD will make for a loopless impl. If we 
are on another system and that LOCK XADD is some sort of LL/SC loop, 
well, that causes damage to my loopless claim... ;^o

Also, big deal!, NOTHING inside the LL/SC can/should touch the 
reservation granule of a target, wrt LL/!!!

Yes, that is correct (as far as I understand it now).  The critical part 
is the hidden hardware loop that was not mentioned or indicated in the 
original code.

There are basically two ways to handle atomic operations.  One way is to 
use locking mechanisms to ensure that nothing (other cores, interrupts 
or other pre-emption on the same core) can break up the sequence.  The 
other way is to have a mechanism to detect conflicts and a failure of 
the atomic operation, so that you can try again (or otherwise handle the 
situation).  (You can, of course, combine these - such as by disabling 
local interrupts and detecting conflicts from other cores.)

The code Mitch posted apparently had neither of these mechanisms, hence 
my confusion.  It turns out that it /does/ have conflict detection and a 
hardware retry loop, all hidden from anyone trying to understand the 
code.  (I can appreciate that there may be benefits in doing this in 
hardware, but there are no benefits in hiding it from the programmer!)

---------------------------------

Mostly esm detects interference but there are times when esm is allowed 
to ignore interference.

Consider a sever scale esm implementation. In such an implementation, esm
is enhanced with a system* arbiter. 

After any successful ATOMIC event esm reverts to "Optimistic" mode. In 
optimistic mode, esm races through the code as fast as possible expecting
no interference. When interference is detected, the event fails and a HW 
counter is incremented. The failure diverts control to the ATOMIC control
point. We still have the property that all participating memory locations
become visible at the same instant.

At this point the core is in "careful" mode, core becomes sequentially 
consistent, SW chooses to re-run the event. Here, cache misses leave
core in program order,... When interference is detected, the event fails
and that HW counter is incremented. Failure diverts control to the ATOMIC 
control point, no participating memory is seen to have been modified.
If core can determine that all writes to participating memory can be
performed (at the first participating store) core is allowed to NaK
lower priority interfering accesses.

At this point the core is in "Slow and Methodological" mode. Now, after
all participating cache lines have been touched, all the physical pointers
are bundled into a message and sent to the system arbiter. System arbiter
examines each cache line address and if no-other-core has a reservation 
on ANY of them, then system arbiter installs said reservations, and 
returns "success". At this point, core is allowed to NaK interfering
accesses. This event WILL SUCCEED. After the event is complete, the
termination of the event at the core, takes the same bundle of addresses
and sends it back to system arbiter; who removes them from reservation.

Optimistic mode takes no more cycles than if the memory references were 
not ATOMIC.

I should also note:: none of this state is preserved across interrupts
or exceptions. So, an interrupt or exception causes the event to fail
prior to control transfer. Interrupts do not care about this control
transfer. Exception control transfer in My 66000 packs everything the
exception handler needs in registers, so having IP point at ATOMIC
control point with the registers setup for page fault does not cause
exception handler any issues whatsoever.

How exactly do you inform the programmer that:

       InBound   [Address]
       OutBound  [Address]

operates like::

try_again:
       InBound   [Address]
       BIN       try_again
       OutBound  [Address]

And why clutter up asm with extraneous labels and require extra instructions.

The most obvious answer is that in any code that uses these features, 
good comments are essential so that readers can see what is happening.

Another method would be to use better names for the intrinsics, as seen 
at the C (or other HLL) level.  (Assembly instruction names don't matter 
nearly as much.)

So maybe instead of "esmLOCKload()" and "esmLOCKstore()" you have 
"load_and_set_retry_point()" and "store_or_retry()".  Feel free to think 
of better names, but that would at least give the reader a clue that 
there's something odd going on.

This is a useful suggestion; thanks.

On the other hand, there are some non-vonNeumann actions lurking within
esm. Where vonNeumann means: that every instruction is executed in its
entirety before the next instruction appears to start executing.

1st:: one cannot single step through an ATMOIC event, if you enter an
ATOMIC event in single-step mode, you will see the 1st instruction in
the event, than you will receive control after the terminal instruction
has executed.

2nd::the only way to debug an event is to have a buffer of SW locations
that gets written with non-participating STs. Unlike participating
memory lines, these locations will be written--but not in a sequentially
consistent manner (architecturally), and can be examined outside the
event; whereas the participating lines are either all written instan-
taneously or not modified at all.

So, here we have non-participating STs having been written and older
participating STs have not.

3rd:: control transfer not under SW control--more like exceptions and
interrupts than Br-condition--except that the target of control transfer
is based on the code in the event.

4th:: one cannot test esm with a random code generator, since the probability
that the random code generator creates a legal esm event is exceedingly low.

I can certainly say they would help /me/ understand the code, so maybe 
they would help other people understand it too.

That's a rather different use of the term "vonNeumann" from anything I 
have heard.  I'd just talk about "indivisible" instructions (avoiding 
"atomic", because that usually refers to a wider view of the system). 
And are we thinking about the instructions purely from the viewpoint of 
the cpu executing them?

IME, most instructions on most processors are indivisible, but most 
processors have some instructions that are not.  For example, processors 
can have load/store multiple instructions that are interruptable - in 
some cases, after returning from the interrupt (and any associated 
thread context switches) the instructions are restarted, in other cases 
they are continued.

But most instructions /appear/ to be executed entirely before the next 
instruction /appears/ to start executing.  Fast processors have a lot of 
hardware designed to keep up this appearance - register renaming, 
pipelining, speculative execution, dependency tracking, and all the rest 
of it.

That is presumably a choice you made for the debugging features of the

OK.  I can see the advantages of that - though there are disadvantages 
too (such as being unable to control a limit on the number of retries, 
or add SW tracking of retry counts for metrics).  My main concern was 
the disconnect between how the code was written and what it actually does.

Testing and debugging any kind of locking or atomic access solution is 
always very difficult.  You can rarely try out conflicts or potential 
race conditions in the lab - they only ever turn up at customer demos!

Yes, but.  ISTM there is a hardware limit on the number of retries - it 
is two retries, as the third try (second retry) is guaranteed to 
succeed, albeit at a higher cost (in time and interference with other 
threads/processes) compared to the earlier tries.


> or add SW tracking of retry counts for metrics). 

Again, ISTM that you could do some software tracking by using non 
participating stores within the locked area to save information outside 
the locked area.  I haven't thought through the cost benefit of this, 
how much to save, etc.

But I am not sure that the "escalation" to a more "intrusive" mechanism 
upon a single failure is optimal.  Perhaps it would be better to retry 
once or twice using the current mechanism.  I don't have a good feeling 
for what is optimal here, and to what extent the optimal choice would be 
workload dependent.

An ATOMIC event is a series of instructions that appear to be performed
all at once--as if the whole series was "indivisible".

Go in the other direction, where a series of instructions HAS TO APPEAR
as if executed instantaneously.

None of those things is ARHICTECTURAL--esm is an architectural window into
how to program ATOMIC events such no future generation of the ISA has to 
continuously add more synchronization instructions. One can program every 
known industrial and academic synchronization primitive in esm without ever 
adding new synchronization instructions.

No it is the nature of executing a series of instructions as if
instantaneously.

esm attempts to allow SW to program with features previously available 
only at the µCode level. µCode allows for many µinstructions to execute
before/between any real instructions.

There is a 26 page specification the programmer needs to read and understand.
This includes things we have not talked about--such as::
a) terminating an event without writing anything
b) proactively minimizing future interference
c) modifications to cache coherence model
at the architectural level.

The architectural specification allows for various scales of µArchitecture
to independently choose how to implement esm and provide the architectural
features at SW level. For example the kinds of esm activities for a 1-wide
In-Order µController are vastly different that those suitable for a server
scale rack of processor ensembles. What we want is one SW model that covers
the whole gamut.

Perhaps it would be better to think of these sequences in assembler 
rather than C - you want tighter control than C normally allows, and you 
don't want optimisers re-arranging things too much.

Fair enough.  This is not a minor or simple feature!

We can gather round the fire, and Grampa can settle in his rocking chair 
to tell us war stories from the olden days :-)

A good story is always nice, so go for it!

(We once had a system where there was a bug that not only triggered only 
at the customer's site, but did so only on the 30th of September.  It 
took years before we made the connection to the date and found the bug.)

Heck, there are assemblers that rearrange code like this too much--
until they can be taught not to.

No, it is a design that allows for ISA to remain static while all sorts of
synchronization stuff gets written, tested, and tuned.

Year:: 1997, time 7 days before Christmas:: situation, Customer is 
having (and has had) strange bugs that happen about once a week.
Customer is unhappy, we have had a senior engineer on sight for
4 months without forward progress. We were told "You don't come home
until the problem is fixed".

System:: 2 (or more) of our cache coherent motherboards, connected
with a proven cache coherent buss.

On the flight from Austin to Manchester England, I decide that what
we have is a physics experiment. So, when we arrive, I had their SW
guy code up a routine that as soon as it got a time slice, it would
signal it no longer needed time. While we hooked up the logic analyzer
to our motherboards and to their bus. When SW was ready (about 30 minutes)
we tried the case--Instantly, the time delay between the bug showing up
went from once a week to milliseconds. We spent the afternoon taking
logic analyzer traces, and went to dinner.

The next day, we went through the traces with a fine tooth comb and
found a smoking gun--so we ran more experiments and this same smoking
gun was found in each track. After a couple of hours, we found that
their proven coherent bus was allowing 1 single cycle where our bus
could be seen in an inconsistent state. and it was only a dozen
cycles downstream that the crash was transpiring.

It turns out that their bus was only coherent when the attached bus 
was slower than 4 cycles to do "random coherent message", whereas
our bus was times at 2 cycles for this response. 

So, we took their FPGA which ran the bus apart and found out how to 
delay one signal, reprogrammed it--ONLY to run into another message
that was off by 1 or 2 cycles. This one took a whole day to find and
program around.

We both made it home for Christmas, and in some part saved the company...

Any example?  This would definitely go against what I would consider
to be reasonable for an assembler.  gdb certainly does not do so.

What _would_ be useful on occasion would be an assembler which
could do register assignment, for example for a small function.
It would be OK if this were to issue an error if there were too
many variables for assignment.

Does anybody know of such a beast?

On machines with delayed branches I've seen assemblers that move
instructions into the delay slot.  Can't think of any others off hand.

That would suck! Back when I used to code in SPARC assembly language, I 
had full control over my delay slots. Actually, IIRC, putting a MEMBAR 
instruction in a delay slot is VERY bad.

I think they were smart enough only to move instructions that wouldn't cause
problems.
