into cooperating subsystems, an SAS architecture becomes an important performance
differentiation in future systems. The SAS or hybrid environments enable a more
efficient use of hardware resources.
Common mechanisms are used in both SAS and MAS models such as page level access
rights to enforce protection, although the reliance on the feature set will differ under
each model. While most of the architected features are utilized in each model,
protection keys exist to enable a single global address space operating environment.
2.12.3
System Performance and Scalability
Performance and scalability are achieved through a variety of features. Memory
attributes, locking primitives, cache coherency, and memory ordering model work
together to allow the efficient sharing of data in a multiprocessor environment. In
addition, the Itanium architecture enables low latency fault, trap, and interrupt
handlers along with light-weight domain crossings. Performance analysis is aided by the
inclusion of several performance monitors, and mechanisms to support software
profiling.
2.12.4
System Security and Supportability
Security and supportability result from a number of primitives which provide a very
powerful runtime and debug environment. The protection model includes four
protection rings and enables increased system integrity by offering a more
sophisticated protection scheme than has generally been available. The machine check
model allows detailed information to be provided describing the type of error involved
and supports recovery for many types of errors. Several mechanisms are provided for
debugging both system and application software.
2.13
Terminology
This following terms are used in the remainder of this document:
•
Itanium Instruction Set –
The Itanium architecture defines the 64-bit instruction
set extensions to the IA-32 architecture.
•
IA-32 Architecture –
The 32-bit and 16-bit Intel architecture as described in the
Intel
®
64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer’s Manual
.
•
Itanium System Environment –
System environment that supports the
execution of both IA-32 and Itanium architecture-based code.
•
Platform –
Application and operating system resources external to the processor
such as: memory maps, external devices (e.g. DMA), keyboard controllers, buses
(e.g. PCI), option cards, interrupt controllers, bridges, etc.
•
Itanium architecture-based Firmware –
The Processor Abstraction Layer (PAL)
and System Abstraction Layer (SAL).
•
Processor Abstraction Layer (PAL) –
The firmware layer which abstracts
processor features that are implementation dependent.
•
System Abstraction Layer (SAL) –
The firmware layer which abstracts platform
features that are implementation dependent.
