Publication number: 20140006721Abstract: When an uncorrectable error (UE) occurs in data read out from a second tag memory corresponding to a first tag memory of an arithmetic processing unit, a system controller issues a notification of WAY information of the second tag memory in which the UE has occurred to the arithmetic processing unit. The arithmetic processing unit degenerates a WAY of the corresponding first tag memory based on the received WAY information and issues a notification of completion of the degeneration process to the system controller. The system controller degenerates the WAY of the second tag memory in which the UE has occurred and re-issues a request relating to the UE after a notification that the degeneration process of the first tag memory is completed is received from the arithmetic processing unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 6, 2013Publication date: January 2, 2014Applicant: FUJITSU LIMITEDInventors: Yuuji KONNO, Yasuhiro Kuroda

Patent number: 8533378Abstract: Cross bar control circuits are connected to each other by two buses, which are a broadcast bus for transmitting a broadcast packet from a system board to all system boards other than the system board and a point-to-point bus for transmitting a unicast packet from a system board to another system board. When unicast packets passing through the point-to-point bus are too many, the unicast packets are output by using the broadcast bus in addition to the point-to-point bus if the broadcast bus is not used. In this way, the unicast packets can be output quickly and efficiently, so that use efficiency of the broadcast bus and the point-to-point bus can be increased as a whole.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2010Date of Patent: September 10, 2013Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventor: Yasuhiro Kuroda
