摘要： A new method and apparatus have been taught for storing error information used for debugging as generated by the initial and subsequent error occurrences. In this invention, a register with several bit ranges is used to store error information. The first bit-range is allocated to the initial error information. If the total number of the errors exceeds the capacity of the register, the last error is kept in a last bit-range. This way, precious initial error information (as well as the last error information) will be available for debugging.

摘要： A computer processor floating point processor six cycle pipeline system where instruction text is fetched prior to the first cycle and decoded during the first cycle for the fetched particular instruction and the base (B) and index (X) register values are read for use in address generation. RXE Instructions are of the RX-type but 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 the exact format from the first 8 bits of the operation code alone. ESA/390 instructions SS, RR; RX; S; RRE; RI; and the new RXE instructions have a format which can be used for fixed point processing as well as floating point processing where instructions of the RXE format have their R1, X2, B2, and D2 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.

摘要： A pipelined multiprocessor system for ESA/390 operations which executes a simple instruction set in a hardware controlled execution unit and executes a complex instruction set in a milli-mode architected state with a millicode sequence of simple instructions in the hardware controlled execution unit, comprising a plurality of CPU processors each of which is part of said multiprocessing system and capable of generating and responding to a quiesce request, and controls for system operations which allow the CPUs in the ESA/390 system to process the local buffer update portion of IPTE and SSKE operations without waiting for all other processors to reach an interruptible point, and then to continue program execution with minor temporary restrictions on operations until the IPTE or SSKE operation is globally completed. In addition, Licensed Internal Code (LIC) sequences are defined which allow these IPTE and SSKE operations to co-exist with other operations which require conventional system quiescing (i.e. all processors must pause together), and to allow for CPU retry actions on any of the CPUs in the system at any point in the operation.

摘要： Computer system element has a VLSI array with redundant areas and an ABIST (Array Built-In Self Test) system having mirror image fuse registers enabling scan of failed addresses to be used to replace hardware errors detected during power-on at a customer location. The ABIST controller allows self test functions (e.g. test patterns, read/write access, and test sequences) to be modified without hardware changes to the test logic. Test sequence is controlled by logical test vectors, which can be changed, making the task of developing complex testing sequences relatively easy and useful for enabling array self-tests to be performed in a customer's office at power-on reset.

摘要： A computer processor which has a apparatus in its Execution Unit (E-unit) that detects a match between an opcode about to be executed and opcodes programmed into it by the computer manufacturer provides a method for alleviating design deficiencies in the processor. The E-unit further contains a mechanism for transmitting the opcode and a desired action back to the Instruction Unit (I-unit) where it may be compared with the next instruction that is decoded. Furthermore, the E-unit opcode compare logic contains a mechanism for breaking infinite loops that may result. This E-unit opcode compare mechanism, may also be used for other purposes such as detecting invalid opcodes and other exception checking since it may allow for a faster cycle time of the processor than if this logic were implemented in the I-unit.
摘要翻译：在其执行单元（E单元）中具有检测待执行的操作码与计算机制造商编程的操作码之间的匹配的计算机处理器提供了一种减轻处理器中的设计缺陷的方法。 E单元还包含用于将操作码和期望动作发送回指令单元（I单元）的机制，在该单元中可以将其与下一个被解码的指令进行比较。此外，E单元操作码比较逻辑包含用于打破可能导致的无限循环的机制。该E单元操作码比较机制也可用于其他目的，例如检测无效操作码和其他异常检查，因为与I单元中实现的逻辑相比，它可能允许处理器的周期更快。

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 computer which has multiple central processing units where at least one of the processors is a spare and unused for normal system operation, provides a mechanism for transferring the micro-architected state of a checkstopped processor to a spare processor. Each processor has a set of registers in the central processing unit where the micro-architected state of the processor is kept and these registers are accessible by millicode or microcode running on that processor. A checkstop of a processor is detected by the system, the micro-architected state of that processor is extracted and returned to the system where that state can be loaded into a spare processor in the system and processing resumed without interruption.
