摘要： A single-precision floating-point register array for a floating-point execution unit that performs double-precision operations by emulation is provided. The register array comprises a plurality of single-precision floating-point registers and a storage device that stores one or more status bits in association with each of the plurality of registers; the status bits associated with each register indicate either that the associated data register contains single-precision or integer data, or that the data for the associated register is contained in an emulated register in memory that is mapped to the associated register. When a register is a source for an operation, the status bits associated with the register are checked and the required operand data for that register is read from the register or from an emulated register mapped to that register, as a function of the state of the status bits.

摘要： A method and system for permitting the selective support of non-architected instructions within a superscalar processor system. A special access bit within the system machine state register is provided and set in response to each initiation of an application during which execution of non-architected instructions is desired. Thereafter, each time a non-architected instruction is decoded the status of the special access bit is determined. The non-architected instruction is executed in response to a set state of the special access bit. The illegal instruction program interrupt is issued in response to an attempted execution of a non-architected instruction if the special access bit is not set. In this manner, for example, complex instruction set computing (CISC) instructions may be selectively enabled for execution within a reduced instruction set computing (RISC) data processing system while maintaining full architectural compliance with the reduced instruction set computing (RISC) instructions.

摘要： The method and system of the present invention permits enhanced instruction dispatch efficiency in a superscalar processor system capable of fetching an application specified ordered sequence of scalar instructions and simultaneously dispatching a group of the scalar instructions to a plurality of execution units on a nonsequential opportunistic basis. A group of scalar instructions fetched in an application specified ordered sequence on a nonsequential opportunistic basis is processed in the present invention. The present invention detects conditions requiring serialization during the processing. In response to a detection of a condition requiring serialization, processing of particular scalar instructions from the group of scalar instructions are selectively controlled, wherein at least a portion of the scalar instructions within the group of scalar instructions are thereafter processed in a serial fashion.

摘要： A method and system for increased instruction dispatch efficiency in a superscalar processor system having an instruction queue for receiving a group of instructions in an application specified sequential order and an instruction dispatch unit for dispatching instructions from an associated instruction buffer to multiple execution units on an opportunistic basis. The dispatch status of instructions within the associated instruction buffer is periodically determined and, in response to a dispatch of the instructions at the beginning of the instruction buffer, the remaining instructions are shifted within the instruction buffer in the application specified sequential order and a partial group of instructions are loaded into the instruction buffer from the instruction queue utilizing a selectively controlled multiplex circuit. In this manner additional instructions may be dispatched to available execution units without requiring a previous group of instructions to be dispatched completely.

摘要： A method and system for enhanced system management operations in a superscalar data processing system. Those supervisory level instructions which execute selected privileged operations within protected memory space are first identified as not requiring a full context synchronization. Each time execution of such an instruction is initiated an enable special access (ESA) instruction is executed as an entry point to that instruction or group of instructions. A portion of the machine state register for the data processing system is stored and the machine state register is then modified as follows: a problem bit is set, changing the execution privilege state to "supervisor;" external interrupts are disabled; and access privilege state bit is set; and, a special access mode bit is set, allowing execution of special instructions. The instructions which execute the selected privileged operations within the protected memory space are then executed. A disable special access (DSA) instruction is then executed which restores the bits within the machine state register which were modified during the ESA instruction. The ESA and DSA instructions are implemented without modifying the instruction stream by utilizing user level procedure calls, thereby reducing the overhead of the branch table necessary to determine the desired execution path.

摘要： A method and system for efficient memory management in a data processing system which utilizes a memory management unit to translate effective addresses into real addresses within a translation lookaside buffer is disclosed. During a first mode of operation a selected number of effective address identifiers are stored in the translation lookaside buffer. In association with each virtual address identifier is a corresponding real address entry for a single memory block wherein selected virtual addresses may be translated into corresponding real addresses utilizing the translation lookaside buffer. In a second mode of operation, a selected number of virtual address identifiers are stored in a translation lookaside buffer and each virtual address identifier has a number of protection bits stored in association therewith, wherein each protection bit is indicative of a protection status for a large number of contiguous memory blocks beginning with the associated virtual address identifier, wherein memory block protection may be provided for a large number of memory blocks utilizing a fixed size translation lookaside buffer.

摘要： Disclosed is a procedure or design approach for functional modules that may be used in connection with a multiprocessor integrated circuit chip. The approach includes keeping the dimensions of each module substantially the same and having the bus, power, clock and I/O connection configured the same on all modules. Further requirements for ease of use are to generalize the capability of each module as much as possible and to decentralize functions such as testing to be primarily performed within each module. The use of such considerations or rules substantially eases the design of a given type of custom chips, and based upon an initial chip design greatly facilitates the design of further custom chips, similar in application, but subsequent to the successful completion of the initial chip. The standardization modules and replication of the modules on a given chip also reduces physical verification time in initial chip design as well as redesign time of the initial chip when requirements for chip capability are redefined or otherwise changed. Any subsequent or further custom chips can include more or less of specific modules based upon already established parameters.

摘要： Disclosed is an apparatus which deactivates both the AC as well as the DC component of power for various functions in a CPU. The CPU partitions dataflow registers and arithmetic units such that voltage can be removed from the upper portion of dataflow registers when the software is not utilizing same. Clock signals are also prevented from being applied to these non-utilized components. As an example, if a 64 bit CPU (processor unit) is to be used with both 32 and 64 bit software, the mentioned components may be partitioned in equal sized upper and lower portions. The logic signal for activating the removal of voltage may be obtained from a software-accessible architected control register designated as a machine state register in some CPUs. The same logic may be used in connection with removing voltage and clocks from other specialized functional components such as the floating point unit when software instructions do not presently require same.
