摘要： A computer processor system having a floating point processor for instructions which are processed in a six cycle pipeline, in which prior to the first cycle of the pipeline an instruction text is fetched, and during the first cycle for the fetched particular instruction it is decoded and the base (B) and index (X) register values are read for use in address generation. Instructions of the RX-type are extended by placing the extension of the operation code beyond the first four bytes of the instruction format and to assign the operation codes in such a way that the machine may determine from the first 8 bits of the operation code alone, the exact format of the instruction. Instructions formats include the ESA/390 instructions SS, RR; RX; S; RRE; RI: and the new RXE instructions. where instructions of the RXE format have their R.sub.1, X.sub.2, B.sub.2, and D.sub.2 fields in the identical positions in said instruction register as in the RX format to enable the processor to determine from the first 8 bits of the operation code alone that an instruction being decoded is an RXE format instruction and the register indexed extensions of the RXE format instruction, after which it gates the correct information to said X-B-D adder. During the second cycle the address add of B+X+Displacement is performed and sent to the cache processor's, and during the third and fourth cycles the cache is respectively accessed and data is returned, and during a fifth cycle execution of the fetched instruction occurs with the result putaway in a sixth cycle.RXE instructions can be used for floating point processing and fixed point processing.

摘要： A millimode capable computer system provides control to millicode to allow the BHT operations to continue except when the these special situations occur that require control of instruction fetch operations must be provided and the BHT can be turned off for some sections of code execution, but not disabled for all. A single free running BHT functions for both a normal mode and a millimode for the central processor which can execute in millimode with a branch history table directing instruction fetch for which both a global BHT disable and millicode disables exist. Hit detection logic receives input from the global BHT disable, as well as from an initialized control register bit and a processor control register bit to select the correct set target information and generate a "branch history table hit detected" control signal.

摘要： A pipelined computer processor in a milli-mode architected state tests the validity of a program status word with a mask stored in a millicode general register. The mask indicates bits in the program status word which are to be zeros if the word is valid. A logical AND operation is performed between correspondingly positioned bits in the word and bits in the mask and in addition the status of at least one other bit in the word is checked, a bit other than a correspondingly positioned bit.

摘要： A special inillicode instruction "Load With Access Test" explicitly detects access exceptions for storage operands while retaining control in the current millicode routine to insure exceptions are handled correctly and with the right priority. The millicode Load With Access Test instruction operates similarly to the ESA/390 Load instruction except that access exception code is set, interrupts are blocked and the serialization is forced to purge the instruction pipeline and reset the pipeline control without redirection of the instruction stream.

摘要： A special Program Status Word (PSW) millicode routine, tests the validity of the PSW with three simple millicode instructions. Testing for access exceptions is executed by a special millicode instruction "Load With Access Test", which explicitly detects access exceptions for storage operands while retaining control in the current millicode routine. A Translate and Test (TRT) routine uses a table of 256 bytes to translate a string of bytes. Each string is used as an index into the table, and the selected table byte is fetched. For Translate and Test, the selected bytes are tested, and the first non-zero table byte selected is returned to the program in a general register along with the address of the string byte which selected it; translate and test also sets the condition code, and does not update storage. To provide reasonable performance on Translate and Translate and Test, while maintaining flexibility and simplicity of a millicoded design, a millicode instruction Translate Fetch (TRFET) is provided specifically for use in execution of the Translate and Translate and Test instructions. This Translate Fetch millicode instruction uses an RX format, but modifies the interpretation of the certain fields.

摘要： A method and system for processing instructions in a floating point unit for executing denormalized numbers in floating point pipeline via serializing uses an instruction unit and having a control unit and a pipelined data flow unit, a shifter and a rounding unit. The floating point unit has an external feedback path for providing intermediate result data from said rounding unit to an input of the pipelined data flow unit to reuse the pipeline for denormalization by passing intermediate results in the pipeline which have a denormalized condition computed after the exponent calculation of the shifting circuit directly from the rounding unit to the top of the dataflow in the pipeline via an external feedback path. The pipelined has two paths which are selected based on the presence of other instructions in the pipeline. If no other instructions are in the pipeline a first path is taken which uses the external feedback path from the rounding unit back into the top of the dataflow. When there are instructions in the pipeline a shifter unit performing normalization of the fraction indicates possible underflow of the exponent, and prepares to hold the exponent and the fraction in a floating point data flow register; and upon detection of exponent underflow during the rounder stage and detection of any other instructions in pipeline; then the control unit forces an interrupt for serialization, and cancels execution of this instruction and other instructions in pipeline.
