    摘要: In a data processing system which includes a central processing unit and one or more main memory units for storing program software instructions and program data, logic is provided within the CPU to signal the main memory units, comprised of semiconductor random access memory chips, that a memory refresh operation can be performed. The logic is organized such that the memory refresh operation signal may be given to the main memory units in parallel with and without detracting from other CPU operations. Further, logic is provided within the CPU to interrupt the CPU normal processing and perform a memory refresh operation if one has not been performed with a predetermined time period. Logic is provided within each main memory unit to accept the memory refresh signals from the CPU and to discard those memory refresh signals that would refresh the memory more frequently than required to retain the memory contents thus reducing main memory power consumption.

    摘要: In a data processing system which includes a central processing unit (CPU) having one or more common buses to which one or more main memory units for storing program software instructions and program data are connected, logic is provided within the CPU for detecting an attempt to access a main memory location not contained in the one or more main memory units present in the data processing system. Logic is provided for detecting the attempt to access the nonexistent memory location for the case where the access was being done in the course of the CPU executing a software instruction or for the case of where the access was being done to transfer data between the main memory and an input/output controller connected to one of the one or more common buses.

    摘要: In a data processing system which includes a central processing unit (CPU), main memory and a plurality of input/output controllers (IOCs) connected to a common bus information can be transferred between the main memory and CPU and main memory and the IOCs. Logic is provided within the CPU to align a byte of data on the data lines of the common bus such that it can be taken from the data lines by the main memory and written into a multi byte word without further alignment. Logic is provided within the CPU to extract from a multi byte word of data read from main memory and appearing on the common bus data lines the appropriate byte of data and to align it on the common bus data lines such that an IOC may pass the data byte to a peripheral device without further alignment.
