摘要:
A multiprocessor (MP) computer sytem which allows target CPU(s) to continue processing instructions while other target CPU(s) are processing instructions of emulation code to reach their end of a Domain Unit of Operation before synchronization. A two-level MP sync is used since the target CPUs must be in between units of operation when the updates occur since a unit of operation can be one instruction or it can be many instructions that together emulate one instruction. Two level MP sync allows CPUs that are going to be serialized to continue to process single instructions (no emulation code) while other target CPUs are in emulation mode.
摘要:
A computer system that has a machine unit of operation (MUO) used to time executions in the system, has a User State and a Control State, has multiple domains for logical processors, and and has a Domain Unit of Operation (DUO) to time domain operations in the system. The DUO is used for timing during emulation User instructions a control program in control state. The physical processor is augmented by a DUO control bit that control bit indicates that execution is within a machine unit of operation or a domain unit of operation. The DUO bit is set when a transfer is forced from User State to Control State in order to emulate a user instruction. The DUO bit can be explicitly set or reset by Control Software.
摘要:
A computer system having a plurality of architecturally defined separate and distinct registers formed in a common register array. The register array contains both architecturally defined general and control registers. Addressing the registers in the register array is unified whether for user or control functions.
