    摘要: A data processing system which includes a memory and a processor comprising at least two execution units. The system further includes a microcode control unit for storing sequences of microinstructions and an execution microinstruction stack containing at least one stack frame containing the machine state of a first execution unit when the execution of a microinstruction has been interrupted. A memory microinstruction stack is provided to store a plurality of stack frames, stack frames being transferrable between the execution microinstruction stack and the memory microinstructiion stack. The microcode control unit contains sequences of monitor microinstructions and has associated with it a minotor microinstruction stack for storing the machine state of the first execution unit when the execution of a monitor microinstruction has been interrupted. A second execution unit for executing primarily arithmetic microinstructions includes an execution storage unit containing the current machine state of the second execution unit and an arithmetic stack which stores the machine state of the second execution unit when it has executed a previous arithmetic microinstruction. The memory includes a memory arithmetic stack containing further arithmetic stack frames, stack frames being transferrable between the execution storage unit and the memory arithmetic stack. Further an instruction stack is provided for storing the machine state in the processor when execution of a macroinstruction has been interrupted.

    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 identification 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 with reference to the invention herein, identify locations of object information to be accessed by utlizing 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. Such ALU means further include an ALU microinstruction stack means having at least one microinstruction stack frame for storing the state of execution of a microinstruction. A memory microinstruction stack is provided to store a plurality of microinstruction stack frames so that microinstruction stack frames can be transferred between the ALU and the memory microinstruction stacks. 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: 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.
