    摘要: A virtual memory unit (VMU) includes a state machine for controlling its operations in response to commands received from another unit. The state machine includes a plurality of programmable array logic (PAL) devices which are connected to gather status from the different sections of the unit. The outputs of the PAL devices connect in common and supply a first address input to an addressable state memory. The state memory includes a plurality of locations, each of which stores a binary code defining a different machine state. The state memory locations are accessed as a function of the status signals and current state and used in turn to generate the required subcommands for executing the received commands. The state machine makes it possible to easily classify the received commands to their complexity and urgency in terms of their effect on overall system performance.

    摘要: A last-in, first-out register having multiple address input ports and capable of storing a plurality of addresses. Address loading operations are over-lapped with address reading operations to speed up the rate at which addresses may be stored in and retrieved from the register. When the register is full of addresses it provides an indication which permits: the addresses already stored in the register to be read out and stored in an external memory, then additional addresses to be stored in the register, and subsequently the addresses transferred to the memory for storage to be retransferred to the buffer address register for read out.

    摘要: An address boundary detector is disclosed that functions with an arithmetic logic unit (ALU) in a computer processor while the ALU generates addresses by adding an offset or displacement to a base address. The detector monitors bits of addresses to determine whether a data item can be completely stored within the same block or page of memory as that addressed by the base address from which it was derived.

    摘要: A method and apparatus pertaining to a firmware control unit for detecting when such control unit is not behaving properly. The control unit is organized to include in each location of the unit's control store, to which control is not expected to transfer, a predetermined type of pattern containing an address specifying the address of that location, a suitable tag identifying the probable reason for the unexplained jump, and a transfer of control to the appropriate entry point in a reporting firmware routine within the control store. The reporting firmware routine has a number of entry points for collecting all the executions of unexpected locations and for storing the appropriate address and tag information in a predetermined register file for later referencing by an unusual event (UEV) handler routine.

    摘要: A decoding logic system in a logic control system of a data processing system is disclosed, wherein the data processing system is comprized of a main memory unit communicating with the logic control system by way of a common communication bus, and wherein the logic control system and a CPU (central processing unit) communicate by way of a local communication bus. In response to a CPU request, CPU instructions stored in the main memory unit are received by the logic decoding system, and presented to the CPU in such a manner as to accommodate both memory bit and CPU computed bit modifications to the instructions during instruction execution, while avoiding interruptions in CPU activity caused by information transfer delays internal to the logic decoding system. Instruction modification also may be effected by incrementing or decrementing the instructions under firmware control.

    摘要: Mantissa results of floating point operations are truncated to words of 24 bits each by storing the 64 bit mantissa result in a first address location of a random access memory, and storing binary ZEROs in the 48 least significant bit positions of a second address location of the random access memory. The mantissa result is truncated by addressing the high order 24 bits at the first address location and the 48 binary ZEROs at the second address location.
