Abstract:
Digital data storage register modules for a of the type that can include one or more functional characters of the type that include an input bus, an output bus, control signal input means and which can have inputs and outputs that can be connected to similar or other characters for modular expansion of the operational capabilities. The functional characters including: a modular register character which provides storage for operands of a micro-program; a general logic character that performs basic logic functions for use by the micro-program; an arithmetic logic character that provides major arithmetic functions for use by the micro-program; an input/output character that provides input/output interface to the micro-program machine; a micromemory counter character that provides micromemory address registers and related functions; a micro-instruction register that contains the micromemory word registers; and a micro-array character that contains a micromemory array.
Abstract:
A modular program control apparatus for modular data processing in parallel processing logic units including functional character modules providing individual modules of each of the logic processing units including data storage modules and logic modules for processing data from memory including main memories and peripheral data storage equipment. The program control is modular and includes a control character for generating micro-program addresses, a micro-memory for storage of program control words accessed for micro-programming control of the parallel processing and providing for modular expansion according to the modular configuration of the data processors including parallel access of control words for concurrent data processing by modular logic units operating to process data in parallel. Each of the control words includes a plurality of instructions which are sequentially executed with a common constant and other fields of the program control word.
