摘要:
In a synchronization system adopted in a synchronous-multisystem control apparatus comprising a plurality of systems operating synchronously with each other at a fixed control period, the synchronous-multisystem control apparatus can be operated in a single-system mode in the event of failures occurring simultaneously in some of the systems.The synchronous-multisystem control apparatus employs a plurality of control circuits each provided for one of the systems. Any particular one of the control circuits comprises: a period-signal generating circuit for generating a period signal indicating a start point of a control period; a synchronization-reference selecting circuit for outputting a synchronization-reference signal by referring to period signals generated by the systems; and a control-period correcting circuit for correcting a control period of the particular system by forming a judgment on a synchronization shift of the period signal generated by the particular system from the synchronization-reference signal and keeping the control period as it is in case the synchronization-reference signal is not generated.

A data processing system having flexibility coping with parallelism of a program comprises a plurality of processor elements for executing instructions, a main memory shared by the plurality of processor elements, and a plurality of parallel operation control facilities for enabling the plurality of processor elements to operate in synchronism. The plurality of parallel operation control facilities are provided in correspondence to the plurality of processor elements, respectively. The data processing system further comprises a multiprocessor operation control facility for enabling the plurality of processor elements to operate independently, and a flag for holding a value indicating which of the parallel operation mode or the multiprocessor mode is to be activated. The shared cache memory is implemented in a blank instruction and controlled by a cache controller so that inconsistency of the data stored in the cache memory is eliminated.

A microprocessor has N processing units, a detector for detecting a branch instruction (k-th instruction) which comes first in the instruction sequence of N instructions, function logic for effecting control such that the first to the k-th instructions are executed with the (N-k+1)-th through the N-th processing units. However, when parallel processing is possible, the function logic operates such that the first through the N-th instructions are executed in sequential order by the first through the N-th processing units. On the other hand, wherein a branch instruction (k-th instruction) is included in the N sequential instructions, the function logic operates such that the first through the k-th instructions are parallelly executed by the (N-p+1)-th through the N-th processing units.
