摘要： Disclosed herewith is a composite type computer system that can assure that a PCI tree to be allocated to a computer is configured completely before the computer is powered. The composite type computer system includes a PCI switch that connects plural computers through PCI interfaces; plural PCI devices connected to the PCI switch; a system controller that controls the computers; and a PCI manager that controls allocation of the PCI devices to the computers. The system controller carries out processings in the steps of (a) powering an object computer to start up its OS; (b) acquiring the identifier of a PCI tree allocated by the system controller to the computer and PCI tree management information denoting the status of the PCI tree; (c) retrying the powering or canceling the powering of the computer if the acquired PCI tree management information denotes the status “not initialized”; and (d) carrying out the powering for the computer if the acquired PCI management information denotes the status “initialized”.

摘要： When the entire system is split into plural partitions on chipsets connecting plural processors, IO hubs, and memory controllers, and an OS is operating on each of the partitions, the present invention prevents a failure in a partition from propagating to other partitions. Based on address information or issuer information included in a packet inputted to a chipset, a partition from which the packet was issued is identified, and an identified partition identifier is added to the packet. Based on the added partition identifier, a partition initializing part selectively deletes the packet issued from the partition in which a failure occurred, thereby preventing the influence of the failure in the failure-causing partition from propagating to other partitions.

摘要： When a subject of access of a transaction from an IO device is not any resource allocated to a logical partition to which the device having issued the transaction belongs, a report as an error is sent to a CPU, while the transaction is finished on the IO bus. To prevent a transaction between IO devices from gaining access to any resource in another logical partition, one access permission bit is provided for each combination of all the IO devices, and the access is permitted only when the bit has a predetermined value. A reset signal is provided by IO slot so that only an IO slot allocated to a specific logical partition can be reset without affecting any other logical partition. A transaction issued from an IO device in one logical partition is prevented from gaining access to a resource in another logical partition, while proper error handling can be performed.

摘要： A sever includes an SVP 206 which is a control device capable of executing processing independent of a CPU, and an interrupt 314 is periodically applied to the CPU. An SVP device driver 303, being triggered by the interrupt 314, acquires an amount of server resources used, such as CPU operating time and memory capacity, and user information used by using an API provided by an OS, and delivers such information to an SVP 206. The SVP 206 transmits resource information thus delivered to an accounting server via an NIC 211. The accounting server accounts an amount of server resource used on a user basis and bills the users according to the quantity of server resource used. With such arrangement, it is possible to accurately grasp the usage status of server resource regardless of server loading, and further, it is possible to execute accounting of server resources and billing based on such accounting regardless of types of OS or CPU.

摘要： A cache controller stores pre-set variables for pre-fetch block size and stride value. A cache controller receives an access request for the main memory from the processor, and generates a pre-fetch request based an the access request and the variables. The cache controller reads data from main memory based on the generated pre-fetch request and writes this data to the cache memory.

摘要： An information processing system that transfers transactions between a plurality of system modules. A request side interface unit in a request side module has a request ID queue in which issued request transactions are stored in order of issuance. A request side queue pointer points to an entry in this request ID queue corresponding to a response transaction to be accepted next. A response side interface unit in a response side module has a response queue in which accepted request transactions are stored in order of acceptance. A response side queue pointer points to an entry in this response queue corresponding to a response transaction to be issued next. Therefore, a request transaction and the corresponding response transaction are transferred between the request side interface unit and the response side interface unit without transferring transaction IDs. When the response order is changed, the response side interface unit issues a command, which changes the value of the request side queue pointer, to inform the request side interface unit of the change in the order.

摘要： A next-generation OS with a virtualization feature is executed as a user program on a first virtual processor by selecting, in response to a cause of a call for a host VMM, one of a guest status area (221) for executing a user program on a second virtual processor and a host status area (222) for executing the guest VMM, and by updating a guest status area (131) of a shadow VMCS for controlling a physical processor. Accordingly, without a decrease in performance of a virtual computer, the next-generation OS incorporating the virtualization feature is executed on a virtual server, and the next-generation OS and an existing OS are integrated on a single physical computer.
