  • Publication number: 20020032817
    Abstract: In a data processing system, a plurality of modules connected to a system bus thereof are assigned with identifiers. When a source module initiates a split read access to another module, the source module sends an address of the access destination module and an identifier of the source module. When sending a response to the source module, the destination module returns response data and the identifier of the source module thereto. Checking the identifier from the destination module, the source module determines the response data returned as a response to the initiated access.

  • Patent number: 6078944
    Abstract: The parallelism of execution of processes in a memory shared multi-processor is enhanced. Each of a plurality of processors is provided with a run queue for holding executable processes, and a watch process for each processor to watch the execution status of its own to notify the rebuilding of the run queue to other processor and a rebuild step for rebuilding the run queue in response to the notice are stored in a shared memory as a program.

  • Patent number: 6011791
    Abstract: In a multi-processor system interconnecting processor units, memory units, and input/output units connected to input/output devices via a crossbar switch having a plurality of ports, the transmitter of each processor unit has a circuit for determining a destination of an access request in the following manner. For an access request to a main memory, the access request is transferred to all processor units and one memory unit storing the data to be accessed. For an access request to a memory mapped register of the input/output device, the access request is broadcast to all input/output units. For an access request to a memory mapped register belonging to any one of the processor units, memory units, and input/output units, the access request is broadcast to all units via the crossbar switch.

  • Patent number: 5890220
    Abstract: In a computer system having an address converter for DMA (direct memory access), an address conversion apparatus in which a memory area to be accessed by the DMA can be accessed at high speed from a CPU. A "DMA address conversion area" is defined in a memory space, and address conversion means in the mode of accessing the DMA address conversion area is so constructed that, when the area has been accessed from the CPU, a physical address is generated in accordance with the address conversion routine of the DMA address conversion means or converter, so as to access a main storage. The memory area to be accessed by the DMA can be quickly accessed from the CPU without requiring such an operation as especially accessing the control ware of the address converter or producing the physical address under the management of a program run on the CPU.
