    摘要: An I/O bus sequencer for providing a data path between an execution Unit (EU-10), a register file (14) and devices connected to a bus (28). A programmable logic array (PLA-18) stores a program which controls a service table (20). The service table includes a plurality of entries divided into fields. One of the fields when decoded instructs the PLA as to what kind of operation the bus sequencer is to perform. Line selection (priority) logic (22) connected to I/O request lines (30) and to the service table (20) determines which service table entry the PLA is to use. A bus interface connected to the I/O bus ports (26) and to the PLA (18) routes data between the I/O bus ports (26) and the register file (14), entries of which are controlled by use of register sets. The service table fields include register set descriptors for storing the status of register set buffers. The PLA decodes an ACCESS instruction to start an operation by loading the first register set descriptor, and then decodes sequential SUPPLY instructions to the entry. Each SUPPLY instruction loads an empty register set descriptor field to be used when the current register set descriptor field is exhausted.

    摘要: A bidirectional multidrop processor bus is connected to a plurality of bus agents. Bus throughput can be increased by operating the bus in a multi pumped signaling mode in which multiple information elements are driven onto a bus by a driving agent at a rate that is a multiple of the frequency of the bus clock. The driving agent also activates a strobe to identify sampling points for the information elements. Information elements for a request can be driven, for example, using a double pumped signaling mode in which two information elements are driven during one bus clock cycle. Data elements for a data line transfer can be driven, for example, using a quad pumped signaling mode in which four data elements are driven during one bus clock cycle. Multiple strobe signals can be temporarily activated in an offset or staggered arrangement to reduce the frequency of the strobe signals. Sampling symmetry can be improved by using only one type of edge (e.g., either the rising edges or the falling edges) of the strobe signals to identify the sampling points.

    摘要: A bus agent that may be used in an enhanced highly pipelined bus architecture. In one embodiment, the bus agent includes a target ready interface, a set of response interfaces for a set of response signals, and a data bus busy interface, and a bus clock interface for a bus clock signal. The bus agent of this embodiment also includes bus controller logic to track a plurality of transactions comprising a transaction N-1 and a transaction N, the bus controller being capable of asserting the target ready signal for transaction N if the bus agent is asserting the data busy signal for the transaction N-1 and deasserts the data busy signal.

    摘要: A processor has an external pin that can be asserted to lock in new clock ratio information dynamically. A state machine of the processor defines a stop grant state that is utilized to halt the internal clocking signal of the processor. A storage location, such as a register, is utilized to load new clock frequency information into the clock generator circuit of the processor. De-asserting the external pin of the processor causes the processor to resume normal operations, but at the newly set clock frequency.

    摘要: A bus agent that may be used in an enhanced highly pipelined bus architecture. In one embodiment, the bus agent includes a control interface to drive a control signal at a clock frequency, an address bus interface to drive address elements at twice the clock frequency, and a data bus interface to drive data elements at four times the clock frequency. The address bus interface drives a substantially centered address strobe transition for each address element, and the data bus interface drives a substantially centered data strobe transition for each data element.
