摘要： In at least one hardware definition language (HDL) file, at least one design entity containing a functional portion of a digital system is specified. The design entity logically contains first and second latches each having a respective plurality of different possible latch values. With one or more statements, a first Dial instance is associated with the first latch and a second Dial instance is associated with the second latch. A setting of the first Dial instance thus controls which of the plurality of different possible values is loaded in the first latch, and a setting of the second Dial instance controls which of the plurality of different possible values is loaded in the second latch. With a statement, a Register instance is concurrently associated with both the first and the second latches, such that a setting of the Register instance controls the latch values loaded in both the first and second latches.

摘要： A processing unit for a multiprocessor data processing system includes a processor core and a lower level cache including a reservation logic that records reservations of the processor core. The reservation logic passes or fails store-conditional operations received from the processor core based upon whether the processor core has reservations for target store addresses of the store-conditional operations. The processor core includes a store-through upper level cache, a reservation register, and sequencer logic that, by reference to the reservation register, fails a store-conditional operation without communication with said reservation logic.

摘要： In response to execution of program code, a control register within scrubbing logic in a local coherency domain is initialized with at least a target address of a target memory block. In response to the initialization, the scrubbing logic issues to at least one cache hierarchy in a remote coherency domain a domain indication scrubbing request targeting a target memory block that may be cached by the at least one cache hierarchy. In response to receipt of a coherency response indicating that the target memory block is not cached in the remote coherency domain, a domain indication in the local coherency domain is updated to indicate that the target memory block is cached, if at all, only within the local coherency domain.

摘要： A cache, system and method for reducing the number of rejected snoop requests. An incoming snoop request is entered in the first available latch in a pipeline of latches in a stall/reorder unit if the stall/reorder unit is not full. The entered snoop request is dispatched to a selector upon entering a bottom latch in the pipeline. The stall/reorder unit is not informed as to whether the dispatched snoop request is accepted by an arbitration mechanism for several clock cycles after the dispatch occurred. A copy of the dispatched snoop request is stored in a top latch in an overrun pipeline of latches in the first unit upon dispatching the snoop request. By maintaining information about the snoop request, the snoop request may be dispatched again to the selector in case the dispatched snoop request was rejected thereby increasing the chance that the snoop request will ultimately be accepted.

摘要： A method, system, and processor chip design for reducing the latency between completing a LARX operation and receiving the associated STCX operation to complete the update to the cache line. Each entry of the store queue of the issuing processor is provided an additional tracking bit (priority bit). The priority bit is set whenever a STCX operation is placed within the entry. During selection of an entry for dispatch by the arbitration logic, the arbitration logic scans the value of the priority bits of each eligible entry. An entry with the priority bit set is given priority in the selection process within architectural rules. That entry is then selected for dispatch as early as is possible within the established rules.

摘要： A processing unit for a multiprocessor data processing system includes a store-through upper level cache, an instruction sequencing unit that fetches instructions for execution, at least one instruction execution unit that executes a store-conditional instruction to determine a store target address, a store queue that, following execution of the store-conditional instruction, buffers a corresponding store operation, sequencer logic associated with the store queue. The sequencer logic, responsive to receipt of a latency indication indicating that resolution of the store-conditional operation as passing or failing is subject to significant latency, invalidates, prior to resolution of the store-conditional operation, a cache line in the store-through upper level cache to which a load-reserve operation previously bound.

摘要： The process disclosed herein involves the high temperature processing of phosphate ore in a solid state using a ported rotary kiln. Prior to insertion into the kiln, the ore is pulverized and beneficiated to remove excessive quantities of unwanted materials such as clay, silica, iron, sodium, potassium, and alumina. The calcium oxide to silica ratio of the beneficiated is then adjusted to within a specific acceptable range, a carbon source containing sulfur such as petroleum coke is added and the resulting feed material is pelletized using a binding agent if necessary. The pelletized feed material is then dried, preheated, and fed into a ported rotary kiln. At the elevated temperature maintained in the reducing kiln, tricalcium phosphate undergoes a reduction reaction to produce phosphorus gas and carbon monoxide. Atmospheric air is injected into the rotating kiln chamber, which facilitates the oxidation of phosphorus gas to phosphorus pentoxide and the oxidation of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide. The reducing kiln exhaust gas stream containing the phosphorus pentoxide and carbon dioxide gas components is processed in an absorption column in which the phosphorus pentoxide is hydrolyzed by water to phosphoric acid. The phosphoric acid is then recovered and concentrated to a commercial grade strength. The slag residue serves as a raw material for cement manufacture.

摘要： A fuel supply system for an internal combustion engine includes a fuel pump which draws fuel from a supply tank. A subsidiary fuel tank receives fuel from the supply by way of a conduit which incorporates a one way valve. The inlet of the pump is connected to a pipe which extends to adjacent the lower wall of the subsidiary tank. The subsidiary tank can be pressurized with air to force fuel towards the pump and a safety valve is fitted to the subsidiary tank to limit the pressure build up therein.
