Abstract:
A method and system for performing diagnostic tests on a real-time system controlled by a state machine. A sequence of states recorded as the state machine operates is used to determine error conditions. The sequence of states is compared to expected sequences of states to determine what, if any, errors have occurred. If the real-time system, such as a transceiver in a communication system, has adaptive components, the status of the adaptive components is used to estimate the condition of any external systems coupled to the real-time system.
Abstract:
A vehicle has a safe and a utility device operable for performing a task having a result capable of being measured. A local processor is associated with local storage, each of which is housed in a safe preventing access thereto. An operator input console associated with the local storage is carried by the vehicle and is disposed outside the safe. A positioning system associated with the local processor generates position information of the vehicle during operation of the utility device. A sensor associated with the utility device and the local processor generates result information of the result of the operation of the utility device. The local processor stores in the local storage the position information, the result information, and the operator input information. The operator input console and the local processor are adapted and arranged preventing access to the local storage in response to operation of the operator input console.

Abstract:
A streamlined instruction processor processes data in response to a program composed of prespecified instructions in pipeline cycles. The processor comprises an instruction fetch unit, including an instruction interface adapted for connection to an instruction memory and for fetching instructions from the instruction memory. The instruction fetch unit includes an instruction prefetch buffer coupled to the instruction interface for buffering a sequence of instructions supplied to the instruction interface. A branch target cache is coupled with the prefetch buffer for storing sets of instructions retrieved from a corresponding set of locations in the instruction memory, having sequential instruction addresses. The first instruction in each such set is a branch target instruction in the program.In addition, an execution unit including a data interface adapted for connection to the data memory, executes the instructions in pipeline cycles. The execution unit includes a storage facility, coupled to the data interface, for storing data in a file of data locations identified by file addresses. The storage facility includes at least two read ports and one write port operable in response to file addresses. An addressing unit coupled to receive the instructions from the instruction register, supplies the file addresses to the read ports and the write port under program control. In addition, the addressing unit is operable in response to a stack pointer providing dynamic allocation of the file of data locations to processes within the program.A memory management unit is coupled to the data interface. The memory management unit includes an address interface adapted for connection to the data memory and the instruction memory for supplying instruction addresses to the instruction memory and data addresses to the data memory, in a simple single access mode, a pipeline mode and a burst mode.
