摘要:
A computer array (10) has a plurality of computers (12). The computers (12) communicate with each other asynchronously, and the computers (12) themselves operate in a generally asynchronous manner internally. Instruction words (48) can include a micro-loop (100) which is capable of performing a series of operations repeatedly. In a particular example, the series of operations are included in a single instruction word (48). The micro-loop (100) in combination with the ability of the computers (12) to send instruction words (48) to a neighboring computer (12) provides a powerful tool for allowing a computer (12) to utilize the resources of a neighboring computer (12).

A microprocessor communications system utilizes a combination of an activity status monitor register and one or more address select registers to read from a communications port of one processor and write to a communications port of an adjacent processor in a single instruction word loop. This circumvents the requirement to save and retrieve data and/or instructions from memory. A stack register selector contains a plurality of stack registers and a plurality of shift registers, which are interconnected. The stack registers are selected by the shift registers in such a way that the stack registers operate in a circular repeating pattern, which prevents overflow and underflow of stacks.

A method of preparing a circuit simulator, said method comprising initializing a normalized adjusted gate voltage value. Then performing the steps of determining a normalized adjusted gate voltage datum in dependence upon the initial normalized adjusted gate voltage value. Storing the normalized adjusted gate voltage datum at a memory address in a one-dimensional array based on the normalized adjusted gate voltage. Decrementing the normalized adjusted gate voltage value by a predetermined decrement amount. And verifying the decremented gate voltage value. Then repeating until a stop gate voltage value is reached.

摘要:
A system for performing parallel multiplication on a plurality of factors. In a binary processor, a first and a second memory have pluralities of bit-positions. The first memory holds a first value as a multiplier that will commonly serve as multiple of the factors, and the second memory holds a second value that is representative of multiple multiplicands that are other of the factors. A multiplier bit-count is determined of the significant bits in the multiplier. And a +* operation is performed with the first value and said second value a quantity of times equaling the multiplier bit-count.

A microprocessor including a central processing unit connected to a push-down stack is disclosed herein. The push-down stack includes a first plurality of latches corresponding to a like first plurality of stack elements, and a second plurality of locations of random access memory corresponding to a like second plurality of stack elements. The first and second plurality of stack elements are provided in a single integrated circuit with the microprocessor. The push-down stack further includes a third plurality of memory locations in a system random access memory, with the third plurality of memory locations corresponding to a like third plurality of stack elements. In operation, up to a first plurality of items initially stored in the first plurality of stack elements are transferred therefrom without accessing the second plurality of stack elements. When the first plurality of stack elements are empty, up to a second plurality of items may be transferred thereto from the second plurality of stack elements. Similarly, up to the second plurality of items may be transferred from the second plurality of stack elements without accessing the third plurality of stack elements. In addition, up to a third plurality of items may be transferred from the third plurality of stack elements to the second plurality of stack elements when the second plurality of stack elements become empty.
