Abstract: There is provided a technique which reduces an average processing time of low-priority accesses with suppressing an average delay increase of a high-priority access processing even in a case where high-priority access request and a low-request access request are simultaneously generated to a shared access processing unit and high-priority accesses are continuously generated. And, there is provided an access arbitration equipment comprising: an issued access request retention unit; a first interval determination circuit; and a second interval determination circuit. In a case where the first interval determination circuit determines that an interval is generated between an issued access processing and a most prior access processing and a second interval determination circuit determines that no interval is generated between the issued access processing and a second-prior access request, the priority order of the most prior access request and the second-prior access request is changed.

Abstract: A control device diagnoses the operation of a bus arbiter that mediates bus usage requests output by multiple devices in the control device to satisfy both responsiveness and safety. A diagnostic module, implemented as an external diagnostic module, monitors signals related to the arbiter mediation and, if an abnormality caused by a signal sticking condition or an abnormality in a mediation control unit is detected, stops data transfer safely to prevent safety data from being output incorrectly.

Abstract: This method is an error correction method such that, when an error is detected in a CPU with pipeline struct, a content of a register file is restored by a delayed register file which holds an execute completion state of an [Instruction N] correctly executed before this error, and a rollback control that re-executes an instruction from the [Instruction N+1] which is the next instruction of the [Instruction N] is performed. The method collects a parity check result of arbitrary Flip-Flops existing inside the CPU, and detects an error. As a result, the content of the register file is restored into the instruction execute completion state preceding to the instruction range likely to malfunction by the error, and the instruction can be roll backed from the beginning of the instruction range likely having malfunctioned by the error.

Abstract: A prefetch address calculation unit detects a branch instruction and a data access instruction to be reliably executed from a series of instruction included in an entry that is stored in a buffer at 1 cycle and outputs a prefetch request of its target address to a control unit. Then, decoding types of the series of instruction that is included in the entry, and setting it at an instruction type flag, the prefetch address calculation unit masks the output of the instruction type flag that has been executed by using an address signal of the instruction that is being executing presently and outputs a location of the instruction for issuing a prefetch request. By a signal from a control unit, the prefetch address calculation unit clears an instruction type flag corresponding to the instruction that issued the prefetch request.
