摘要: An object of the invention, in a semiconductor circuit or, more particularly, in an LSI on which a DRAM and a logic circuit are merged, is to decrease the frequency of times of refreshing operations to thereby achieve both reduction in power consumption and prevention of deterioration in the performance of the logic circuit caused by an increase in the memory access time due to contention between refresh and DRAM access of the logic circuit. To achieve the object, the refreshing is done only for rows storing the data used by the logic portion. Further, arbitrary data for which periods from being written in to being read out are overlapping or close to each other are allocated to the same row of the DRAM so as to be stored thereon, and the row is refreshed only during the period of time that the data stored thereon is live.

摘要: With a single program divided into a plurality of threads A to C, at the execution of the threads in parallel to each other by a plurality of processors, determination is made of a forkability of a slave thread into other processor in response to a fork instruction in a master thread being executed by a predetermined processor and when forkable, the slave thread is forked into other processor and when not forkable, the fork instruction is invalidated to execute an instruction subsequent to the fork instruction by the predetermined processor and then execute a group of instructions of the slave thread by the predetermined processor.

摘要: In a parallel processor system for executing a plurality of threads in parallel to each other by a plurality of thread execution units, the respective thread execution units allow for forking of a slave thread from an individual thread execution unit into another arbitrary thread execution unit. The respective thread execution units are managed in three states, a free state where fork is possible, a busy state where a thread is being executed, and a term state where a thread being terminated and yet to be settled exists. At the time of forking of a new thread, when there exists no thread execution unit at the free state, a thread that the thread execution unit at the term state has is merged into its immediately succeeding slave thread to bring the thread execution unit in question to the free state and conduct forking of a new thread.

摘要: In a parallel processor system for executing a plurality of threads which are obtained by dividing a single program in parallel each other by a plurality of processors, when a processor executing a master thread conducts forking of a slave thread in other processor, at every write to a general register in the master thread after forking, the fork source processor transmits an updated register value to the fork destination processor through a communication bus. The fork destination processor executes the slave thread for speculation and upon detecting an offense against Read After Write (RAW) related to the general register, cancels the thread being executed to conduct re-execution of the thread.

摘要: In a multi-thread executing method of dividing a single program into a plurality of threads and executing the program by a plurality of processors in parallel, at a time of every fork instruction of the executing thread, when there already exists a child thread generated form the above thread, the program cancels the child thread or makes invalid all the fork instructions other than the first fork instruction having succeeded in forking the child thread, hence to select one fork instruction for creating an effective child thread from a plurality of fork instructions existing within a parent thread, during the execution of the parent thread. Therefore, it can assure the Fork-Once limitation at a time of the program execution.

摘要: Each processor comprises a register for storing start address of a forked child thread and a comparator for detecting that the value of its own program counter is coincident with the start address stored in this register. Each processor sends a thread stop notice to a thread controller when the value of its own program counter is coincident with the start address of the forked child thread and ends the execution of a parent thread when receiving a thread end permission from the thread controller.
