    摘要: An interrupt polling unit included within a bus interface unit of a microprocessor is provided. The interrupt polling unit causes a periodic interrupt acknowledge bus transaction to occur. If an interrupt controller receiving the interrupt acknowledge bus transaction returns an interrupt vector indicative of an interrupt service routine, then the microprocessor executes the interrupt service routine. The number of interrupt acknowledge bus transactions associated with the interrupt is reduced from two to one, and the microprocessor effectively prefetches the interrupt service routine before the interrupt is actually signaled. In one embodiment, the interrupt polling unit causes an interrupt acknowledge bus transaction to occur at the expiration of a programmable time interval. Another embodiment of the interrupt polling unit causes an interrupt acknowledge bus transaction subsequent to the occurrence of a bus transaction programmed by the user.

    摘要: A dedicated bus between a central processing unit and a peripheral unit, such as a graphics controller driving a video display, provides enhanced capability in an environment in which signal processing occurs within the central processing unit. The dedicated bus relieves other data buses, such as the PCI bus, of the need to communicate large amounts of data, such as decompressed video data. The resulting system supports high bandwidth transmissions of decompressed video data, enabling high resolution 24 bit full motion video and multiple data stream video.

    摘要: A dockable computer system is capable of performing symmetrical multi-processing operations. More particularly, the dockable computer system includes a portable computer and a host station (docking station), each including a resident CPU. The dockable computer system is capable of operating in a docked state in which the portable computer is physically joined with the host station and an undocked state in which the portable computer is physically separate from the host station. In the docked state, the dockable computer system is capable of performing demanding computational tasks such as video conferencing as one of the CPUs in either the portable computer or host station is dedicated to the video conferencing operation. The dockable computer system preferably includes a communication channel for transmitting multi-processing support signals between the portable computer and the host station. Multi-processing support signals include synchronization signals, cache coherency signals, and interrupt distribution signals such as the LOCK signal, PLOCK signal, FLUSH signal, EADS signal, INTR signal or INTACK signal. The communication channel may be a dedicated bus or may be provided through a docking bridge between the portable computer and host station. The dockable computer system advantageously optimizes CPU resources when the dockable computer system is in a docked state.
