摘要:
A transmitting side device (10) and a receiving side device (20) are connected to each other via a bus (30) comprising TAG bits (31), data bits (32) and error detection/correction ECC bits (33). The transmitting side device (10) uses a redundant bit inversion circuit (14) to invert different bits of the ECC bits (33) corresponding to trigger signals (41 & 42). In the receiving side device (20), a determination circuit (24), which has received an error report signal (26) from an error detection/correction circuit (22), determines, from the position of an error bit in the ECC bits (33), which one of the trigger signals (41 & 42) has been transmitted from the transmitting side device (10).

摘要:
An apparatus for controlling data transfer performed with a computer connected to a data bus, which performs data transfer in one direction, the apparatus includes a data transfer controlling unit that controls the data transfer with the computer by setting a data bandwidth of an input bus to be greater than a data bandwidth of an output bus, where the input bus transfers data to be input to the computer, and the output bus transfers data output by the computer.

To maintain data consistency in an information processing apparatus in which a nodes are coupled, takeout information indicating that data of the node is taken out to a secondary memory of another node is stored in a directory of each node. When a cache miss occurs during a memory access to a secondary memory of one node, the one node judges whether a destination of the memory access is a main or the secondary memory thereof. If the memory access is destination is the main or secondary memory of the one node, the directory is indexed and retrieved to judge whether a directory hit occurs, and if no directory hit occurs, a memory access is performed by the one node based on the memory access.

A barrier synchronization device for realizing barrier synchronization of at least 2 processor cores belonging to a same synchronization group among a plurality of processor cores is included in a multi-core processor having a plurality of processor cores, and when two or more processor cores in that multi-core processor belong to the same synchronization group, the included barrier synchronization device is used for realizing barrier synchronization.
摘要:
A plurality of system controllers 300 each comprising a memory medium 400 and an I/O device 500 under the control of the system controller 300 are connected to a CPU node 100 by way of a plurality of system buses 200. The CPU node 100 executes a memory interleave for distributing memory accesses to the system buses 200 (i.e., the system controllers 300). In performing an I/O access to the I/O device 500, the CPU node 100 firstly inquires from a representative system controller 300 (SC0) as to which system bus 200 (i.e., a system controller 300) has a target I/O device 500 and then executes an actual I/O access to the system bus 200 returned in a response from the SC0. Even when the CPU node 100 executes a memory interleave in the case of a memory-mapped I/O, the CPU node 100 is not required to manage the location information of the I/O device 500.

A data processing system is provided. The data processing system includes a plurality of processors, a cache memory shared by the plurality of processors, in which memory a cache line is divided into a plurality of partial writable regions. The plurality of processors are given exclusive access rights to the partial writable region waits.
摘要:
A cache-memory control apparatus controls a level-1 (L1) cache and a level-2 (L2) cache having a cache line divided into a plurality of sub-lines for storing data from the L1 cache. The cache-memory control apparatus includes a control-flag adding unit, an L1 cache control unit, and an L2 cache control unit. The control-flag adding unit provides an SP flag to each of the sub-lines. The L1-cache control unit acquires an access virtual address, and, when there is no data at the access virtual address, outputs an L2 cache-access address to the L2-cache control unit. The L2-cache control unit switches the SP flag based on a virtual page number in an L1 index and a physical page number in an L2 index. Based on the SP flag, corresponding one of the sub-lines is written back to the L1 cache.
