    摘要: An automated phone calling system includes a database comprising phone numbers and one or more data fields associated with each phone number. Phone numbers (callees) in the database are selected based on the data fields associated therewith. A recorded voice message is transmitted to callees through a plurality of outgoing phone lines, and callees are prompted to enter one of several TOUCH TONE codes, which is recorded. The database record for the callee is automatically updated based on the TOUCH TONE response code, so that the updated field may be used to select whether to send a future call to the callee.

    摘要: A method for insuring data consistency between a plurality of individual processor cache memories and the main memory in a multi-processor computer system is provided which is capable of (1) detecting when one of a set of predefined data inconsistency states occurs as a data transaction request is being processed, and (2) correcting the data inconsistency states so that the operation may be executed in a correct and consistent manner. In particular, the method is adapted to address two kinds of data inconsistency states: (1) A request for a operation from a system unit to main memory when the location to be written to is present in the cache of some processor unit-in such a case, data in the cache is "stale" and the data inconsistency is avoided by preventing the associated processor from using the "stale" data; and (2) when a read operation is requested of main memory by a system unit and the location to be read may be written or has already been written in the cache of some processor--in this case, the data in main memory is "stale" and the data inconsistency is avoided by insuring that the data returned to the requesting unit is the updated data in the cache. The presence of one of the above-described data inconsistency states is detected in a SCU-based multi-processing system by providing the SCU with means for maintaining a copy of the cache directories for each of the processor caches. The SCU continually compares address data accompanying memory access requests with what is stored in the SCU cache directories in order to determine the presence of predefined conditions indicative of data inconsistencies, and subsequently executes corresponding predefined fix-up sequences.

    摘要: All monitoring and control of locked memory access requests in a multiprocessing computer system is handled by a system control unit (SCU) which controls the parallel operation of a plurality of central processing units (CPUs) and I/O units relative to a common main memory. Locking granularity is defined at the level of individual cache blocks for the CPUs, and the cache blocks also represent the unit of memory allocation in the computer system. The SCU is provided with a lock directory defined by a plurality of lock bits so that addresses in the same block of memory are mapped to the same location in the lock directory. Incoming lock requests for a given memory location are processed by interrogating the corresponding lock bit in the lock directory in the SCU by using the associated memory address as an index into the directory. If the lock bit is not set, the lock request is granted. The lock bit is subsequently set and maintained in that state until the unit requesting the lock has completed its memory access operation and sends an "unlock" request. If the interrogated lock bit is found to be set, the lock request is denied and the requesting port is notified of the denial. Fairness for the processing of denied lock requests is insured by a reserve list onto which denied requests are sequentially positioned on a first-come-first-served basis.
