Global Memory Segmentation Conversion

Abstract: a shared global memory segmentation conversion process optimizes conversion of shared global memory (gm) in connection with changes to a global memory segmentation policy. when a policy region is to be reduced in size, the gm banks of the policy region are ranked and one or more of the lowest performing gm banks in the policy region are selected to be moved to the other policy region. similarly, within each policy region, io pools, used to create slots of particular sizes, that are being reduced in size are determined, and the gm banks of the io pools are ranked. one or more of the lowest performing gm banks are selected and moved to an io pool that is being increased in size. this process iterates, re-ranking the remaining gm banks in the policy region/io pools, until the correct allocation of gm policy regions and io pools is achieved.
