Abstract: A multiprocessor in which a plurality of processors are connected via a system bus. The multiprocessor includes processor groups each having at least one processor, a main storage memory, a cache memory, a cache control unit, a directory memory, and a directory control unit. The directory control unit includes an invalidation command issuing unit that issues a cache line invalidation command to all reference designations stored in the directory memory in cache lines. Thus the device process time can be shortened by reducing the frequency that cache invalidation commands are issued from the cache memory.

Abstract: In a video game system and a game controller, discrepancy ween the manipulation of the user and the display position on screen, etc., can be prevented, without adding adjusting ponents after forwarding them from the factory. The digitized log manipulation information which have been obtained from the ipulation information generating means are calibrated by the ipulation information calibrating means provided in the game troller, and then the digitized and calibrated analog ipulation information which have been obtained by calibration transmitted to the game processing device.

Abstract: This invention relates to a home game machine, and more particularly, to a game machine control module having a plurality of operation buttons, which is connected to a game machine body through a cable. The game machine control module comprises a control member for transmitting the operation data obtained by a plurality of operation buttons through the cable to the game machine body and for receiving the data from the game machine body through the cable, and a response member positioned at a predetermined place on the game machine control module and controlled by the control member based on a predetermined dynamic transmission data which is contained in the data transmitted from the game machine body. Therefore, this makes it possible to enjoy games giving the feeling of being at a live performance comparing to the conventional one.

Abstract: A plurality of processors, each with caches provided for a plurality of processor modules and a local storage in which a main storage is distributed and arranged are mutually connected through an internal snoop bus. The processor modules are mutually connected through a second system bus. By using two separate buses, cache coherence operations within a processor group is kept separate from cache coherence operations outside the processor group.

Abstract: The invention provides a soldering flux for mounting circuit substrates, which is free from any organic solvent attributable to air pollution and dispenses with any washing step. The soldering flux is obtained by dissolving a rosin modified by an unsaturated organic acid according to the Diels-Alder reaction in an aqueous solvent. A volatile basic agent may further be contained in the flux.

Abstract: A system for controlling the pitch between an original sound and a reproduced sound system in which generation of tremolo sound is suppressed and a clock is used commonly for write timing and read timing of a ring buffer. Digital data are obtained by sampling an analog input signal and data are interpolated before writing to a memory of the ring buffer, and a plurality of write positions are provided and the data is written while controlling addresses. Address spacings between a plurality of read memory positions are different from each other. Coefficients are set within a range from a predetermined negative value to a predetermined positive values according to address spacing to write memory position for each of the read memory positions, and the data read from each of a plurality of read memory positions are multiplied by the corresponding coefficient. The resultant data values are summed up and are used as output data. Further, a comb line filter is provided in a signal path.

Abstract: A first monophonic signal within a predetermined frequency range and a second monophonic signal at least outside of the predetermined frequency range are produced from a monophonic input signal. A simulated-stereo device is provided for dividing each of the first and second monophonic signals into stereo-simulated signals. The level of the first monophonic signal is compared with the level of the second monophonic signal. The level of the first stereo-simulated signal is attenuated when the level of the first monophonic signal is higher than the level of the outside monophonic signal.
