摘要:
In a data processing system a cache memory comprises level one and level two even and odd data stores and level one and level two even and odd directory stores. The directory stores include a plurality of storage locations for storing the most significant bits of the address numbers associated with the data words stored in the level one and level two even and odd data stores. The level one and level two even and odd directory stores are addressed by the least significant bits of the address numbers. Comparator circuits compare the high order bits of an address number supplied in a memory request to the high order bits stored in the level one even and odd directory stores at storage locations identified by both the low order bits of the address supplied in the memory request and the low order address bits incremented by one. A hit detector circuit determines whether one, both, or none of the requested words are stored in the cache memory by analyzing the outputs of the comparators.

A cache memory wherein data words identified by odd address numbers are stored separately from data words identified by even address numbers. A group of diagnostic control registers supply signals for controlling the testing of the cache within the cache memory to determine the operability of the individual elements included in the cache memory.

Signals representing the past and present states of a condition under test during an instruction execution cycle, as well as a signal indicating that an execute cycle has taken place, are utilized as address signals applied to a memory which feeds an output to control a bistable element. The bistable element is set to the state of the memory output signal and supplies the address signal indicative of the past state of the condition under test. The memory is coded to respond at its output with signals controlling the bistable element such that once a given state of the condition under test is detected and stored in the bistable element, the latter is inhibited from switching regardless of any further changes in the condition under test during the current instruction execution cycle.

A control store in a data processor is addressed by means of next address generation logic which includes a first multiplexer utilized to address the control store, which multiplexer has several inputs. One of such inputs is received from a latching mechanism which allows more than one test condition to be simultaneously utilized for addressing the control store on a free flow basis. These test conditions, as well as information from an addressed control word, are utilized in a multiplexed arrangement as one input of the first multiplexer. By use of other inputs of such first multiplexer, the control store may be addressed by use of branch address information, as well as other test condition information. A page register provides the page address, to a plurality of pages included in this control store with the locations in each such page addressed by use of the above noted multiplexer combination.

A minicomputer system is disclosed having a megabus with a plurality of processors and/or subprocessors, input/output (I/O) units and including logic for enabling the detection, decoding, storage and dispatching of data and instructions between the megabus and associated processors. The logic detects information addressed to its associated processors and synchronizes the transfers between the independently timed asynchronous processors and the units attached to the megabus.

A cache memory including an even data store for storing data words associated with even address numbers and an odd data store for storing data words associated with odd address numbers, a local bus for transferring a low order data word and a high order data word simultaneously from the cache memory to a system element requesting the transfer of a pair of data words through the supplying of a single address number request, and a data steering multiplexer for supplying the data word associated with the memory request number, as outputted from either the odd or even cache data store to the low order data word transfer portion of the local bus and the other of the pair of data words outputted from the odd or even data store to the high order data word transfer portion of the local bus.
摘要:
Arithmetic logic apparatus having two independent register files, one for each operand. Each register file has also associated therewith independently controlled incrementing and/or decrementing address mechanisms. Each such register file is coupled for addressing on a digit, byte or word basis. Operation of such apparatus is under the control of control instructions received from a control store included in a data processor in which such apparatus is also included.
摘要:
Information from a main data processor is transferred to an auxiliary data processor of the system and is stored in a control file which may be addressed by either a firmware word from a control store or by use of the function code received in an instruction from the main processor. Information in such control file is used for the purpose of addressing main memory. The address for main memory may be incremented or decremented simultaneously as operands are being fetched from main memory for execution.

The invention concerns the use of a stabilizer combination for polyvinylchloride-based moulding compounds. The stabilizer combination contains (a) at least one solid inorganic component in amounts ranging from 0.3 to 3 parts by weight, relative to 100 parts by weight of polyvinylchloride, selected from sodium aluminosilicates, hydrotalcites and calcium-aluminium-hydroxy-phosphites, and (b) at least one solid or liquid zinc salt in amounts corresponding to a zinc to component (a) ratio of from 0.02 to 0.25 to 1, selected from zinc salts of monocarboxylic acids, substituted or unsubstituted benzoic acid and dicarboxylic acids. This stabilizer combination is used in the production of half-hard and soft polyvinylchloride foils by the calendering process in order to prevent a build-up of coating on the rollers used in this process.

A monitoring means for selectively detecting and recording signals representing at selected points within a system, includes trigger generation logic responsive to selected bus signals for generating trigger signals representing the occurrence of selected conditions, and a recording memory for recording the conditions thereupon, a trigger selection logic for selecting trigger outputs corresponding to the trigger signals. The trigger selection logic includes a trigger enabling memory for storing selectable trigger enabling codes, wherein each enabling code corresponds to a trigger signal, and trigger output logic responsive to the trigger enabling codes and to the trigger signals for providing trigger outputs. The trigger enabling codes include bus enabling codes representing selected conditions on a bus of the system, trigger sequence enabling codes corresponding to sequential combinations of trigger signals and external trigger enabling codes corresponding to triggers external to the system. The enabling codes may select trigger signals to be used in logical AND or OR functions in generating a trigger output or in substitution for a bus trigger signal.
