    • A multiprocessor data processing system (10), and a method of operating same, so as to provide efficient bandwidth utilization of shared system resources (24, 26). The system includes a plurality of processor nodes, each of which includes a data processor (22a, 28a). A first step of a method buffers data written by a data processor to a first bus (23a), prior to the data being transmitted to a second bus (32). Also buffered are byte enable (BE) signals generated by the data processor in conjunction with the data written by the data processor. A next step performs a main memory (26) write operation by transmitting the buffered data to the second bus; responsive to the stored BE signals, also transmitting a control signal for indicating if a memory write is to be accomplished as a read-modify-write (RMW) type of memory operation; and transmitting the stored BE signals to the second bus. A further step couples the data, the RMW signal, and the BE signals from the second bus to a third bus (24) for reception by the main memory.

    • An instruction sequencer for programming parallel operations of functional units in response to an instruction stream is shown. The instruction sequencer includes a random access memory for storing instruction segments which program the operations of the functional units. An instruction address register contains instruction addresses for selected locations in the memory having instruction segments stored therein. A memory address circuit reads out an instruction stream comprising instruction segments from the memory in response to the stored instruction address and stores the same in an instruction buffer register. A rotating network, which is operatively coupled to the instruction buffer register, rotates the instruction stream so as to position a selected instruction segment at a predetermined location in a rotating network. A control circuit determines whether the rotating network is required to rotate the instruction stream and, if so, directs the rotating network to position the selected instruction segment at the predetermined location in the rotating network. A first decoding circuit receives and decodes the selected instruction segment to produce a first control signal. A shifting circuit receives the rotated instruction stream and shifts the same an amount equal to at least the width of the selected instruction segment and then applies the same to a second decoding circuit which produces a second control signal. The first and second control signals are adapted to be applied to and commence operation of the functional units in parallel.

    • An I/O Processor (28) includes a two channel receiver (28b) and a two channel transmitter (28c) coupled to a high speed communications channel. For the receiver a status memory, specifically a FIFO (44a, 44b), stores structuring information that indicates the beginnings (SOP) and endings (EOP) of PACKETS, as well as, for each BURST of data words within a packet, an indication of the occurrence of the BURST and a length (L) of the BURST. Additionally, there is an indication for each BURST of the presence of any errors occurring during the BURST. A corresponding data FIFO (40a, 40b) contains only the received data words, without any structuring information. A device reads both of the FIFOS, subsequent to the reception of one or more PACKETS, so as to reconstruct the original format of the received data. For the transmitter a structure control FIFO (46a, 46b) stores the structuring information for an associated data FIFO (40c, 40d) , the transmitted data being structured in accordance with the structuring information. The receiver and the transmitter each include a high speed internal data path (42a, 42b) and a lower speed data path (54a, 54b) which are coupled together during slave read and write cycles, and which are decoupled during high speed DMA cycles.
