Patent number: 4589086Abstract: A data processing system having an arithmetic unit is designed for a multiplication of n-place numbers in 2's complement according to the Booth algorithm, and for division of unsigned numerals. A 2n-stage shift register is connected over a logical control circuit to the operation code inputs of an ALU. The control circuit automatically forms instruction code signals to the ALU as a function of informational bits derived from the shift register, whereas other operation code input signals are directly connected to the operation code inputs. The control circuit is a sequential circuit having a multiplexer for the selective through-connection of the multiplication code signals, the division code signals, or other operation code signals to the operation code inputs of the ALU.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 1982Date of Patent: May 13, 1986Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Wolfgang Beifuss, Bernd Haussmann, Michael Pomper, Ewald Soutschek

Patent number: 4392199Abstract: A Fault-tolerant computer architecture employs a plurality of microcomputers connected in a partially meshed ring. Three device controllers are connected to any of the microcomputers by means of a passive switch, and a fault in data transmission relative to one microcomputer is resolved by a two-out-of-three decision. A failure of one microcomputer is manifested by an adjacent microcomputer, so that the down microcomputer is omitted from furthwr task assignments.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 1980Date of Patent: July 5, 1983Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Ernst Schmitter, Paul Birzele, Klaus Buchmann, Gerhard Geitz, Bernhard Will, Wolfgang Beifuss
