摘要： A digital computer uses a memory which is structured into objects, which are blocks of storage of arbitrary length, in which data items are accessed by descriptors which for a desired data item specify the object, the offset into that object, and the length of the data object. The computer system of the present invention further provides the ability to execute any of a plurality of dialects of internal instructions, the repertoire of such dialects being virtually infinite, since there is the ability to load a supporting microcode during operation as needed.

摘要： A data processing system having a flexible internal structure, protected from and effectively invisible to users, with multilevel control and stack mechanisms and capability of performing multiple, concurrent operations, and providing a flexible, simplified interface to users. The system is internally comprised of a plurality of separate, independent processors, each having a separate microinstruction control and at least one separate, independent port to a central communications and memory node. The communications and memory node is an independent processor having separate, independent microinstruction control and comprised of a plurality of independently operating, microinstruction controlled processors capable of performing multiple, concurrent memory and communications operations. Addressing mechanisms allow permanent, unique indentification of information as objects and an extremely large address space accessible and common to all such systems. Addresses are independent of system physical configuration and, as particularly described withreference to the invention herein, indentify locations of object information to be accessed by utilizing address formats which comprise an object field, offset field and a length field so that information can be identified to bit granular level and to information type and format. Arithmetic logic unit (ALU) means, also as particularly described with reference to the invention herein, include general register means having three vertically oriented parts for storing such respective fields. Protection mechanisms provide variable access rights associated with individual bodies of information. User language instructions are transformed into dialect coded, uniform, intermediate level instructions to provide equal facility of execution for all user languages. Operands are referred to by uniform format names which are transformed, by internal mechanisms transparent to users, into addresses.

摘要： A digital data processing system has a memory organized into objects containing at least operands and instructions. Each object is identified by a unique and permanent identifier code which identifies the data processing system and the object. The system further uses multilevel microcode techniques for controlling sequences of microinstructions and for controlling the interval operations of the processor. The system uses a protection technique to prevent unauthorized access to objects by users who are identified by a subject number which identifies the user, a process of the system for executing a user's procedure, and the type of operation of the system to be performed by the user's procedure. An access control list for each object includes an access control list entry for each subject having access rights to the object and means for confirming that a particular active subject has access rights to a particular object before permitting access to the object. The system also includes stacks for containing information relating to the current state of execution of the system.

摘要： A digital computer system having a memory system organized into procedure and data objects, each having a unique identifier code and an access control list, for storing items of information and a processor for processing data in response to instructions. The instructions contain operation codes and names representing data. Each name corresponds to a name table entry in a name table which contains information from which the processor determines the location and the format for the data. The name table entry specifies a base address of one of a set thereof which change value only when a call or a return instruction is executed. A name interpretation system fetches a name table entry, calculates the base address and a displacement using the name table entry and the current architectural base address and adds the base address to the displacement to form the address of the data represented by the name.

摘要： A digital computer system including a memory and a processor. The memory operates in response to memory commands received from the processor. Items of data stored in the memory include instructions to which the processor responds. Each instruction contains an operation code which belongs to one of several sets of operation codes. The meaning of a given operation code is determined by the operation code set to which the instruction belongs. Some of the instructions also contain names representing items of data used in the operation specified by the operation code. The processor includes an operation code decoding system which decodes the operation code as required for the instruction set to which it belongs, a name resolution system for deriving the address of the data item represented by a name from the name using an architectural base address contained in the name resolution system, and a control system which controls the operation of the processor. The processor performs a call operation and a return operation. Only the call operation and the return operation may change the current architectural base address. The memory further contains name table entries associated with the names. Each name table entry contains information used by the name resolution system when it resolves a name.

摘要： Apparatus in a digital computer system capable of performing a call operation and a return operation for obtaining addresses of data from names representing the data. Each name is permanently associated with a procedure containing instructions to which the digital computer system responds. Each name further corresponds to a name table entry which is permanently associated with the same procedure. The corresponding name table entry for a name specifies how a base address and a displacement are to be derived using a plurality of current base addresses. The values of these addresses change only when the computer system executes a call operation suspending a current execution of a procedure and commencing another current execution or a return operation terminating the current execution and resuming the execution which was suspended to commence the terminated execution. The operation of resolving a name, i.e., obtaining the address of the data represented by the name, is performed by name interpretation apparatus in processors of the data processing system. In response to a name, the name interpretation apparatus locates the name table entry corresponding to the name fetches the name table entry, calculates the base address and the displacement using the name table entry and the current architectural base addresses, and then adds the base address to the displacement to obtain the address of the data represented by the name.
