    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 multifunction arithmetic indicator that is associated with and controlled by an arithmetic logic unit (ALU) to store standard arithmetic indicator information such as overflow, carry, arithmetic sign and all bits equal zero that are generated by the ALU when processing binary information. A control unit sends control signals to multiplexers in the multifunction arithmetic indicator that cause the selection of appropriate arithmetic indicator information from the ALU, no matter what the bit length of binary words being processed by the ALU. The selected indicator information is stored in a register for later use.

    摘要: In a data processing system, a central processor unit requests procedural data words or non-procedural data words stored in the system memory. A control store device executes firmware instructions including a local bus field for controlling the transfer of the requested procedural data words and non-procedural data words to the central processor unit. The requested procedural data words and non-procedural data words are transferred to the central processing unit by an interfacing device including a data bus latch for receiving the procedural data words and non-procedural data words transferred from the memory, a prefetch buffer for storing up to four words, a first set of OR gate circuits for selectively transferring the procedural data words stored in the prefetch buffer to a procedural data multiplexer for assembling either a procedural data word or a procedure address, and a second set of OR gate circuits for selectively transferring either a procedural data word or non-procedural data word to the source bus or a procedural data address or non-procedural data address to the source bus for transfer to the central processor unit.

    摘要: In a system which includes a common bus to which a plurality of units are connected for the transfer of information, such as a data processing system, information may be transferred by the highest priority unit during an asynchronously generated bus transfer cycle. Logic is provided for enabling a first unit, such as a central processor, to make a multiple fetch request of a second unit, such as a memory, during a first transfer cycle. The multiple fetch request requests the second unit to transfer multiple parts of data to the first unit during multiple further transfer cycles, wherein one part of data is transferred in each further transfer cycle. Logic is provided in the second unit to enable the second unit to indicate to the first unit, except during the last further transfer cycle, that each further transfer cycle will be followed by another further transfer cycle. Logic is provided in the first unit to enable the first unit to accept less parts of data than originally requested in the multiple fetch request. This permits the first unit to make multiple fetch requests of other units on the bus without regard to whether the other units are capable of performing multiple fetch operations and eliminates the need for abnormal condition recovery logic in the second unit. Logic is also provided to permit the first unit to utilize each part of data as it is received by the first unit without requiring the first unit to wait for the last transfer cycle before using any of the received parts of data.

    摘要: A final effective address of an operand is generated in a microprogrammed data processing system by use of a base address register which may include an unindexed address, an index register which may include an index address value, an instruction register which may include an instruction word, which instruction word provides control over the addressing of a control store dependent upon the state of a selected one of a plurality of test conditions. The addressed control store word provides signals for controlling the operation of the system, including the branching between such major operations as instruction fetching, addressing, reading, writing, and execution as well as branching between minor operations which are included in the major operations.

    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.
