    摘要: In a system wherein a central computer complex is connected through central control modules (CCM) and channel modules (CM) to the control units of peripheral subsystems, a first queue is maintained in a CCM for Start I/O Fast (SIOF) commands waiting to be accepted by the CMs connected thereto. After a CM accepts an SIOF command and passes it on to a control unit, the control unit may return to the CM a busy status which is then passed through to the CCM. The CCM maintains a control unit busy (CUB) queue and an entry is made therein when busy status is returned. When a control unit reports control unit end status to the CCM, the CUB queue is linked to the top of the SIOF so that the CMs may again be informed that the SIOF commands are available. The arrangement avoids two interruptions of the central computer complex to report first that the control unit is busy and then that the control unit is available.

    摘要: A power loss detection and recovery circuit for providing continued memory operations upon loss of a supply voltage. Multiple independent power domains, each of which provides an electrically isolated supply voltage, are used to provide power to redundant memory circuitry. A loss of voltage or a degenerative voltage within a power domain is detected, and circuitry residing on a different operational power domain provides recovery operations to allow continued memory activity within that operational power domain. The memories residing in an adjacent pair of power domains redundant, and are therefore written to and read from simultaneously, and circuitry within an operational power domain will prevent further reading of data from the memory residing in a failed power domain, and will also prevent further writing of data to the memory residing in the failed power domain upon recognition of a failed supply voltage within a power domain.

    摘要: A bus architecture includes address lines, data lines, and control signals to allow a processor to communicate with a VLSI gate array. The address lines are interpreted by the VLSI gate array to select either multi-bit registers or single bit designators resident on the VLSI gate array depending on which control signal is received from the processor. Dual address decode logic on the VLSI gate array senses control signals indicating a request to read from a register, write to a register, and set, clear, or test a designator, and decodes the address received to select the appropriate storage location for the requested function.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for detecting stuck faults in a signal line used to communicate a branch condition for executing conditional branch instructions by a data processing system containing a programmable microprocessor and multiple VLSI gate arrays connected by a bi-directional bus, whereby the branch condition is obtained from a storage location resident on a VLSI gate array executing asynchronous and external to the microprocessor. The branch condition is fetched and evaluated in parallel with the fetching of the branch target address and the incrementing of the program counter. The microprocessor changes instruction sequence control depending on the results of the branch condition evaluation. The branch condition is sent to the microprocessor as a signal pulse for a specified duration at a particular time, rather than by changing the level of the signal, thereby allowing communication of the branch condition over only one signal line but still providing for detection of faults in the VSLI gate array or faults inherent in the signal line.

    摘要: Apparatus for detecting and isolating the occurrence of faults in a digital electronic system so as to reduce the mean-time-to-repair. Associated with the logic circuitry to be monitored is a fault indicator which produces a fault signal when a malfunction occurs. Fault capture circuitry is arranged in a hierarchical manner and provides a group fault output signal when one of the fault indicators generates a fault signal. A programmable controller is provided which receives the group fault signal as an interrupt and which then responds by transferring registered fault event signals to a dynamic string register, rearming the error detection used to trap a fault signal and logging the fault location in a memory for later readout by a maintenance processor or the like. The dynamic string allows communications to take place using a scan/set protocol.

    摘要: A plurality of transmitting and receiving elements are coupled between read and write buses. The communication paths which connects the tranmitting and receiving elements to the buses are each provided with a fault indicating circuit in series therewith. Each of said fault indicating circuits have logic gating means which include a bit register for each of the bits of a data byte and a parity bit. The output of the bit register means are coupled to isolation drivers which in turn are connected to parity checking circuits and the buses for indicating errors which occur in the bytes of a data word without degrading or delaying data transmission to and from said read and write buses.

    摘要: A series of instructions N, N+1, N+2, etc. are issued by an instruction buffer 14 at a fixed clock rate in a pipelined method to parallel instruction flow path 6 and control word flow path 8, each path including a serial coupled holding register 20, 21, an instruction register 18, 19 and a function register 16, 17. If instruction N is a jump instruction, it and the related control word, when stored in the function registers 16, 17 causes the jump target instruction and the related control word of the jump instruction N to be entered into the holding register 20, 21. If the jump instruction N jump conditions are satisfied, the jump target instruction and related control word are written into the instruction registers 18, 19 and then into the function registers 16, 17 to be executed by the associated system.
