    摘要: A method and apparatus for a read-modify-write operation in a digital computer memory system that reduces memory data path buffer storage requirements. The method latches new write data and associated mask fields into a data output buffer and then uses the latched mask fields to merge read data with the new data in the output buffer. The mask fields determine which portion of the read data is to be replaced with new data. Appropriate check bits for an error correction code (ECC) are generated and added to the modified data in the output buffer to produce a new data output which is released from the output buffer into the memory at the selected address.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for reducing memory read latency for selected data requested by one central processing unit (CPU) and retrieved from another CPU through a system control unit (SCU) with special data transfer cycles. The special data transfer cycles include a first dual operation mode which confirms that the transferred data is the most current and then concurrently writes the CPU transferred data into the SCU main memory while transferring it directly to the requesting CPU, and a second dual operation mode which confirms that only a portion of the transferred data is the most current and then concurrently writes the portion of the transferred data that is most current in the SCU memory and reads the written data that is most current in the SCU memory and reads the written data for transfer to the requesting CPU.

    摘要: For efficiently handling data transactions between various system units (CPUs, I/O units and main memory units) in a multi-processor system, the system units are linked via a plurality of expandable crossbar modules, each providing a set of interconnections or well-defined mappings between the sets of input and output nodes, with each output being defined in terms of only one input. In addition to the nodes provided at the input and output sections, each crossbar module is also provided with discrete input and output expansion portions through which the module may be linked to other identically configured crossbar modules when additional nodes are to be integrated into the system. The expansion ports allow serial linking of crossbar modules so as to establish a connection between source and destination nodes which are spread across different crossbar modules. The serially-linked expansion ports realize direct mapping between all system nodes in the form of a two-stage network; the basic crossbar design remains the same and there is no need for the problematic redesign of crossbar modules for accommodating added data transfer nodes. The modular crossbar design is particularly adapted for use with different system configurations having different numbers of communication nodes and permits a system to be upgraded by adding communication nodes by using additional identically configured crossbar modules.
