    摘要: Pipeline structure that is arranged to allow 1.5 cycle access time for both data and instruction cache without imposing additional instruction step delays than that imposed by data and instruction cache that have 1 cycle access time. Half cycle pulses are produced to allow execution of various instructions in 0.5 cycles. A bypass signal is generated to allow data from a current load instruction to be available for a second subsequent instruction even though the access time for data cache is 1.5 cycles. Additionally, a branch address is available for a third subsequent instruction even though instruction cache access time is 1.5 cycles. The present invention shows the initiation of an instruction step for each cycle and 1.5 cycle access time for cache memory. The present invention can also be implemented by implementing an instruction every 2 cycles and providing 3 cycle access time for cache memory.

    摘要: A coherency scheme of use with a system having a bus, a main memory, a main memory controller for accessing main memory in response to transactions received on the bus, and a set of processor modules coupled to the bus. Each processor module has a cache memory and is capable of transmitting coherent transactions on the bus to other processor modules and to the main memory controller. Each processor module detects coherent transactions issued on the bus and performs cache coherency checks for each of the coherent transactions. Each processor module has a coherency queue for storing all transactions issued on the bus and for performing coherency checks for the transactions in first-in, first-out order. When a module transmits a coherent transaction on a bus, it places its own transaction into its own coherency queue.

    摘要: A bus system having a bus arbitration scheme. The bus system includes a bus and a plurality of client modules coupled to the bus. Each of the client modules is capable of transmitting information on the bus to another of client module, and only one client module is entitled to transmit information on the bus at any time. A module entitled to transmit information on the bus has control of the bus for a minimum period of time defining a cycle. To determine which module is entitled to use the bus, each client module generates an arbitration signal when it seeks to transmit information on the bus. Each client module has an arbitration signal processor responsive to the arbitration signals for determining whether the module is entitled to transmit information on said bus. The system preferably also contains a host module that informs the client modules what types of transactions allowed on the bus in a given cycle. Each arbitration signal processor preferably is also responsive to the client option signals sent by the host module during an earlier cycle.
