ABSTRACT:
A method and system for operating a computer system are disclosed. In at least some embodiments, the present invention relates to a method of operating a computer system that includes operating a first cell of the system in accordance with a first memory access configuration, and migrating a first attribute of a first core of the first cell to a second cell of the system. The method additionally includes configuring a portion of the first cell so that the first cell is capable of operating in accordance with a second memory access configuration, and migrating at least one of the first attribute and a second attribute from the second cell back to the first core of the first cell, whereby subsequently the first cell operates in the second mode of operation. In at least some embodiments, the first and second configurations are direct and agent access memory configurations, or vice-versa.
