  • Method and means for fast writing of run length coded bit strings into bit mapped memory and the like
    Patent number: 5422995
    Abstract: A method and means which upon detecting indicia embedded in a decoded run length coded bit string skips over a range of bit memory mapped addresses thus reducing the number of write operations into a counterpart bit mapped memory. The coded indicia include portions which specify a skip and a skip range for storage locations in said bit mapped memory.

  • Prolog interrupt processing
    Patent number: 5396632
    Abstract: An improved architecture for a Prolog interpreter/compiler is described to facilitate interrupt processing. The new architecture employs interrupt control words and a set of interrupt control blocks to enhance Prolog processing. As interrupts are detected, an interrupt control word is loaded with the address of an interrupt control block for managing interrupt processing. Then, each time a new predicate is fired, the interrupt control word is tested and control is passed to the interrupt processing routine if the control word is non-zero.

  • Prolog addressing
    Patent number: 5386520
    Abstract: An improved technique for processing Prolog objects is described. The first bit of the Prolog object word is used as a flag to indicate whether the object word is a type pointer or type descriptor. If the one-bit flag indicates that the object word is a type pointer, then the address is available for immediate processing without the unnecessary processing associated with the prior art.
