    摘要: A pipelined multiprocessor system for ESA/390 operations which executes a simple instruction set in a hardware controlled execution unit and executes a complex instruction set in a milli-mode architected state with a millicode sequence of simple instructions in the hardware controlled execution unit, comprising a plurality of CPU processors each of which is part of said multiprocessing system and capable of generating and responding to a quiesce request, and controls for system operations which allow the CPUs in the ESA/390 system to process the local buffer update portion of IPTE and SSKE operations without waiting for all other processors to reach an interruptible point, and then to continue program execution with minor temporary restrictions on operations until the IPTE or SSKE operation is globally completed. In addition, Licensed Internal Code (LIC) sequences are defined which allow these IPTE and SSKE operations to co-exist with other operations which require conventional system quiescing (i.e. all processors must pause together), and to allow for CPU retry actions on any of the CPUs in the system at any point in the operation.

    摘要: In a processing system, a translation is facilitated between a virtual address and an absolute address. The system includes multiple registers and a mechanism for loading them with a first set of address translation parameters. An adder sums a translation origin register with an offset register to produce a base-plus-offset value. A logic circuit selectively combines selected registers and the base-plus-offset value to produce an address of a translation table entry which facilitates a determination of the absolute address. This determination includes performing one or more of prefixing, windowing, zoning and memory begin. A latency of the system from a presentation of the translation origin register to the adder to the output of the translation table entry from the logic circuit is at most one clock cycle.

    摘要: SMP computers systems can add to the first level cache a fill mode latch and achieve straightforward, high-performance loading of a writable cache code array that is part of a hierarchical cache structure.A new code array's write control elements include a control latch called "fill mode" for the BCE controls which when fill mode is active, then a disable is also active, since reads of the code array may not give accurate data when the array is not yet filled-up/fully valid. New mode follows the sequential steps which process code by:a) purge the cache array; thenb) disable the code array; thenc) turn on fill mode with a buffer control element fill mode latch; and then processd) code increments once through a range of line addresses, where the range is at least as wide as the range(s) specified in the code array's lookup mechanism.e) turn off fill mode; thenf) purge the cache array again: and theng) enable the code array (turn off the code array disable bit).h) resume normal operation to end the sequence.
