    摘要: A failure detection apparatus detects the existence of an abnormal circuit condition in a circuit which causes a subsequently transmitted data byte to be transmitted from one integrated circuit to another integrated circuit out of sequence relative to a previously transmitted data byte. Even and odd data bytes are received by the first integrated circuit with odd parity. However, the even data byte is transmitted from the first integrated circuit to the second integrated circuit, along existing interface lines extending between the integrated circuits, with odd parity. The parity bit of the odd data byte is inverted, the odd data byte being transmitted along the existing interface lines with even parity. An exclusive OR gate in the second integrated circuit receives the parity bit of the even data byte and passes the parity bit without inversion in response to a first state of a clock signal from an odd latch; however, the exclusive OR gate, upon receipt of the odd data byte, re-inverts the parity bit of the odd data byte in response to a second state of the clock signal. A parity checker compares the data bits of the incoming even and odd data bytes with the parity bit generated by the exclusive OR gate and generates an error check signal representative of the receipt of the subsequently transmitted data byte transmitted out of sequence relative to the previously transmitted data byte when the combined parity of the data bits and parity bit at the input of the parity checker is not odd.

    摘要: Interface lines interconnect a first circuit to a second circuit. When an abnormal circuit condition affects the interface lines, such as an open circuit or a short circuit condition, the operation of the first and second circuit is detrimentally affected. This invention determines the existence of abnormal circuit conditions in one or more lines of a group of interface lines without using redundant duplex lines. The interface lines are subdivided into a first group, which are used when the apparatus of the present invention is being used to locate abnormal circuit conditions, and a second group, which are not used when the apparatus of the present invention is being used to locate abnormal circuit conditions. Each line of the first group is connected, at its input side, to a corresponding input terminal of a first exclusive-or gate and, at its output side, to a corresponding input terminal of a second exclusive-or gate. The first and second exclusive-or gates are input to a matching circuit, an output signal from the matching circuit indicating the existence of an abnormal circuit condition in the first group of lines. One line of the first group is connected to an input side of the second group. The output side of the second group is connected to an additional input terminal of the second exclusive-or gate. An output signal from the matching circuit indicates the existence of an abnormal circuit condition in at least one line of either one or both of the first and second group of lines.

    摘要: A multi-path access control device for an integrated system is presented which allows simultaneous access to multiple external devices coupled thereto by multiple functional units. The multiple functional units are coupled to the shared access control device across two or more high speed, shared data buses. The control device includes multiple bus ports, each coupled to a different data bus, and a non-blocking crossbar switch coupled to the bus ports for controlling forwarding, with zero cycle latency, of requests from the functional units. Multiple external device ports are coupled to the non-blocking crossbar switch for receiving requests forwarded by the crossbar switch, and each external device is coupled to a different external device port. The crossbar switch allows multiple requests at the bus ports directed to different external devices to be forwarded to different external device ports for simultaneous accessing of different external devices coupled thereto pursuant to the multiple requests.

    摘要: A hierarchical cache system comprises a plurality of first level cache subsystems for storing data or instructions of respective CPUs, a higher level cache subsystem containing data or instructions of the plurality of cache subsystems, and a main memory coupled to the higher level cache subsystem. A page mover is coupled to the higher level cache subsystem and main memory, and responds to a request from one of the CPUs to store data into the main memory, by storing the data into the main memory without copying previous contents of a store-to address of the request to the higher level cache subsystem in response to said request. Also, the page mover invalidates the previous contents in the higher level cache subsystem if already resident there when the CPU made the request. A buffering system within the page mover comprises request buffers and data segment buffers to store a segment of predetermined size of the data. When all of the request buffers have like priority and there are fewer request buffers that contain respective, outstanding requests than the number of data segment buffers, the page mover means allocates to the request buffers with outstanding requests use of the data segment buffers for which there are no outstanding requests.

    摘要: An opaque memory region for a bridge of an I/O adapter. The opaque memory region is inaccessible to memory transactions which traverse the bridge either from a primary bus to secondary bus or secondary bus to primary bus. As a result, memory transactions which target the opaque memory region are ignored by the bridge, allowing for the same address to exist on both sides of the bridge with different data stored in each. The implementation of the opaque memory region provides a means to complete memory transactions within I/O adapter subsystem memory, hence, relieving host computer system memory resources. In addition, a number of I/O adapters can be used in a host computer system where the host and all the I/O devices use some of the same memory addresses.

    摘要: The I/O configuration of a computer system includes two channels which are capable of being available on up to four interface ports, with the ports being incorporated within the channel in order to eliminate the need for an external switch. Control indicators are provided for monitoring the communications request initiation status of each channel and each port to achieve expeditious transfers through a selected port between the channel and peripheral devices. The I/O configuration is established responsive to the communications request initiation status that indicates one of several states depending on which side initiates a request and whether the connection has been made.
