摘要: A method of and apparatus for improving the efficiency of a data processing system employing a multiple level cache memory system. The efficiencies result from managing the process of flushing old data from the second level cache memory. In the present invention, the second level cache memory is a store-in memory. Therefore, when data is to be deleted from the second level cache memory, a determination is made whether the data has been modified by the processor. If the data has been modified, the data must be rewritten to lower level memory. To free the second level cache memory for storage of the newly requested data, the data to be flush is loaded into a flush buffer for storage during the rewriting process.

摘要: A method of and apparatus for improving the efficiency of a data processing system employing multiple dayclocks using the facilities which maintain coherency of the system's level cache memories. These efficiencies result from dedicating a separate individual dayclock to each of the multiple instruction processors within the data processing system thereby decreasing access time and user queuing. These individual dayclocks are each incremented at one microsecond intervals. However, these individual dayclocks require periodic synchronization to avoid system level time-tagging problems. This synchronization occurs at 20 microsecond intervals using the cache coherency maintenance hardware of the system.

摘要: Method and apparatus for detecting and correcting memory storage data errors in a system utilizing parity error detection. An error detected in the memory storage device results in a parity error being reported, thereby causing the corresponding address location to be deactivated. Once deactivated, no further reading or writing is performed at that address location for a predetermined time period. The parity error reporting and address deactivation is accomplished without an access time penalty and requires a reduced number of I/O pins.

摘要: An apparatus for and method of efficiently providing a modular dayclock within a data processing system. This is accomplished by dividing the dayclock hardware into a number of dayclock modules configured to operate in a bit serial fashion. This allows the dayclock to accommodate a variety of dayclock word widths by simply varying the number of dayclock modules provided. Further, since the dayclock may operate serially, rather than in parallel fashion, the number of dayclock module I/O's and board route channels may be substantially reduced. Finally, all control logic may be provided directly in the dayclock modules, thereby eliminating the need for a central dayclock controller.

摘要: A method of interfacing multiple requests using a request hold register, a multiplexer and a snapshot register with multiple requests directed into both the request hold register and a multiplexer which prevents forwarding the requests to the snapshot register if the snapshot register is not in a receiving condition but if the snapshot register is in a receiving condition allows the request to immediately enter snapshot register without having to wait for the next clock cycle.
