    摘要: Selected units of storage, such as segments of storage or regions of storage, are invalidated. The invalidation is facilitated by the setting of invalidation indicators located in data structure entries corresponding to the units of storage to be invalidated. Additionally, buffer entries associated with the invalidated units of storage or other chosen units of storage are cleared. An instruction is provided to perform the invalidation and/or clearing. Moreover, buffer entries associated with a particular address space are cleared, without any invalidation. This is also performed by the instruction. The instruction can be implemented in software, hardware, firmware or some combination thereof, or it can be emulated.

    摘要翻译: 选定的存储单元(如存储段或存储区域)将失效。 通过设置位于与要失效的存储单元相对应的数据结构条目中的失效指示符来促进失效。 另外,与被无效的存储单元或其他选择的存储单元相关联的缓冲区条目被清除。 提供执行无效和/或清除的指令。 此外,与特定地址空间相关联的缓冲区条目被清除,而没有任何失效。 这也是由指令执行的。 该指令可以用软件,硬件,固件或其组合来实现,或者可以被仿真。
