    摘要: A computer architecture and programming model for high speed processing over broadband networks are provided. The architecture employs a consistent modular structure, a common computing module and uniform software cells. The common computing module includes a control processor, a plurality of processing units, a plurality of local memories from which the processing units process programs, a direct memory access controller and a shared main memory. A synchronized system and method for the coordinated reading and writing of data to and from the shared main memory by the processing units also are provided. A hardware sandbox structure is provided for security against the corruption of data among the programs being processed by the processing units. The uniform software cells contain both data and applications and are structured for processing by any of the processors of the network. Each software cell is uniquely identified on the network.

    摘要: A system and method for flexible multiple protocols are presented. A device's logical layer may be dynamically configured on a per interface basis to communicate with external devices in a coherent or a non-coherent mode. In coherent mode, commands such as coherency protocol, system commands, and snoop response pass from the device's internal system bus to an external device, thereby creating a logical extension of the devices internal system bus. In non-coherent mode, the input-output bus unit receives commands from the internal system bus and generates non-coherent input-output commands, which are eventually received by an external device.

    摘要: The present invention provides for controlling the power consumption of an element. A first power control command is issued by software for the element. It is determined if the power control command corresponds to an allowable power control state for that element as defined by the hardware. If the power control command is not an allowable power control state for that element, the hardware sets the power control at a higher level than the power control state issued by the software. The software is real time software, and the software also sets minimally acceptable activity control states. A hierarchy of power consumption is defined for different elements of a chip by software, which provides the minimum level of power consumption by any element or sub-element on a chip.

    摘要: A system for using a plurality of heterogeneous processors in a common computer system is presented. Each processor type in the heterogeneous group handles a particular instruction set. The processors share a common memory using a common bus. In one embodiment, one of the processor types accesses the memory using DMA instructions. In another embodiment, a cache for each type of processor is stored in the common memory pool. In one embodiment, one or more PowerPC processors shares a memory with one or more Synergistic Processing Complex (SPC). A common table is used to track and maintain memory for the various processors.

    摘要: Disclosed is a coherent cache system that operates in conjunction with non-homogeneous processing units. A set of processing units of a first configuration has conventional cache and directly accesses common or shared system physical and virtual address memory through the use of a conventional MMU (Memory Management Unit). Additional processors of a different configuration and/or other devices that need to access system memory are configured to store accessed data in compatible caches. Each of the caches is compatible with a given protocol coherent memory management bus interspersed between the caches and the system memory.

    摘要: Disclosed is an apparatus which deactivates both the AC as well as the DC component of power for various functions in a CPU. The CPU partitions dataflow registers and arithmetic units such that voltage can be removed from the upper portion of dataflow registers when the software is not utilizing same. Clock signals are also prevented from being applied to these non-utilized components. As an example, if a 64 bit CPU (processor unit) is to be used with both 32 and 64 bit software, the mentioned components may be partitioned in equal sized upper and lower portions. The logic signal for activating the removal of voltage may be obtained from a software-accessible architected control register designated as a machine state register in some CPUs. The same logic may be used in connection with removing voltage and clocks from other specialized functional components such as the floating point unit when software instructions do not presently require same.
