    摘要: A channel communicator (CC) has a storage array for holding an entry for each channel and for holding a busy vector and an interrupt vector that each have a bit for each channel. The channel communicator (CC) is connected between the input bus and the output bus that connect the channels and an I/O processor (IOP) to processor main store. A message to the channel communicator (CC) includes the identification (ID) of the channel that the message is to or from and the channel communicator (CC) uses this identification (ID) as an address for accessing a channel entry or a bit in a vector. The message also carries a command that controls the channels communicator (CC) to store a data portion of a message or to fetch a channel entry or a vector from the array and load it onto the output bus addressed to the I/O processor (IOP) or to one of the channels. The command also controls addressing a particular one of the vectors. The channel communicator (CC) also has means responsive to a command to perform a sequence of operations for testing the vectors and for testing fields of an entry in the array and for using the results of the test to control the execution of the command.

    摘要: A binary number substitution mechanism includes first and second storage arrays addressed by first and second portions, respectively, of an input binary number, producing a substitute output binary number. The input binary number represents a predetermined number of microinstruction addresses in a read-only store, and the output binary number is representative of microinstruction addresses in a main storage device. Only a limited number of the possible input binary numbers are required to access the first and second storage arrays to read out selectively stored binary numbers to create a limited range of output binary numbers unique to each of the limited number of the input binary numbers.
    Further, compression of the range of output of binary numbers as substitution for certain ones of the binary input binary number is achieved by addressing the first and second storage arrays by first and second portions of the input binary number to which a certain number of the input signal line of the first and second portions are common.
