In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method for determining if data of a memory request by a first agent is in a memory region represented by a region indicator of a region table of the first agent, and transmitting a compressed address for the memory request to other agents of a system if the memory region is represented by the region indicator, otherwise transmitting a full address. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Compressing address communications between processors

An apparatus associated with identifying a critical thread based on information gathered during meeting point processing is provided. One embodiment of the apparatus may include logic to selectively update meeting point counts for threads upon determining that they have arrived at a meeting point. The embodiment may also include logic to periodically identify which thread in a set of threads is a critical thread. The critical thread may be the slowest thread and criticality may be determined by examining meeting point counts. The embodiment may also include logic to selectively manipulate a configurable attribute of the critical thread and/or core upon which the critical thread will run.

Meeting point thread characterization

According to one embodiment a CPU is disclosed. The CPU includes two or more clusters and a dispatch unit coupled to the two or more clusters. The dispatch unit steers instructions to the two or more clusters based upon the temperature of each of the clusters.
