摘要:
A general purpose microprocessor architecture enabling more efficient computations of a type in which Boolean operations and arithmetic operations conditioned on the results of the Boolean operations are interleaved. The microprocessor is provided with a plurality of general purpose registers (“GPRs” 102)and an arithmetic logic unit (“ALU” 104), capable of performing arithmetic operations and Boolean operations. The ALU has a first input (108) and a second input (110), and an output (112), the first and second inputs receiving values stored in the GPRs. The output stores the results of the arithmetic logic unit operations in the GPRs. At least one of the GPRs is capable of receiving directly from the ALU a result of a Boolean operation. In one embodiment, at least one of the GPRs (PN)capable of receiving directly from the ALU a result of a Boolean operation is configured so as to cause the conditioning of an arithmetic operation of the ALU based on the value stored in the GPR.
摘要:
A method of using a computer to execute a computer program, in which a caller portion of the program calls a callee function that returns a data structure. Before the callee function is called, the computer is used to determine whether the structure is to be used, and if so, an address to which the structure is to be returned is determined. The caller passes this address to the called function. The callee executes, and if the structure is to be used, the callee copies the structure to the predetermined address.

A data processing system with a microprocessor that has an instruction execution pipeline that includes fetch and decode stages and several functional execution units. Fetch packets contain a plurality of instruction words. Execution packets include a plurality of instruction words that can be executed in parallel by two or more execution units. An execution packet can span two or more fetch packets. An add (k) constant to program counter (ADDKPC) instruction is provided, such that a parameter specified by the ADDKPC instruction is combined with a value provided by a program counter of microprocessor. The ADDKPC instruction can also specify a number of delay slots after a branch instruction to be filled with virtual NOP instructions such that memory is not wasted with useless NOP instructions. An ADDKPC instruction can provide a relative address for use as a return address. A plurality of predicated ADDKPC instructions can provide a return address selected from a plurality of return addresses. A compiler can reorder code with an ADDKPC instruction to absorb useless NOP instructions.
摘要:
A method of producing a computer program for a computer capable of operating in a plurality of disjoint instruction sets. The method produces a plurality of independently callable functions. For each function the method determines a target instruction set employed by the function. The method provides the function with a name corresponding to the target instruction set. The function name is preferably a modification of a user provided function name corresponding to the target instruction set. The method identifies each call of another independent function and provides each with a name corresponding to the target instruction set. The method produces a veneer function for each function and for each other instruction set. The veneer functions include changing the computer from operating in the other instruction set to operating in the target instruction set, calling the corresponding function, changing the computer to operate in the other instruction set, and a return command. Each veneer function is provided with a name corresponding to the other instruction set. Each function and its corresponding veneer functions are converted into a linkable object code module and then linked into an executable object code file of the computer program. The linker preferably omits from the executable object code file any veneer functions not called by a function.

Embodiments of the present invention are directed to implementing high-radix switch topologies on relatively lower-radix physical networks. In one embodiment, the method comprises constructing the physical network (702) composed of one or more optical switches connected via one or more waveguides. A desired switch topology (704) is then designed for implementation on the physical network. The switch topology is then overlain on the switch network by configuring the optical switches and waveguides (706) to implement the switch topology on the physical network. The optical switches can be reconfigured following a transmission over the physical network and can be configured to implement circuit switching or packet switch.

An electronic circuit component and a plurality of twinax contacts are connected together in piggy-back fashion and enclosed within a metallic frame with respective signal paths in the component and contacts being interconnected such that an apertured ground plate completes a 360.degree. electrically conductive seal around the contacts and grounds the contacts in common to the metallic frame. The plate also prevents axial leakage of electromagnetic energy from interrupting the electronic component.
