摘要： A system and method for tracing program code within a processor having an embedded cache memory. The non-invasive tracing technique minimizes the need for trace information to be broadcast externally. The tracing technique monitors changes in instruction flow from the normal execution stream of the code. The tracing technique monitors the updating of processor branch target register contents in order to monitor branch target flow of the code. Tracing of the program flow includes tracing instructions both before and after a trace triggering event. The implementation of periodic synchronizing events enables the tracing of instructions occurring before and after a triggering event, and then providing the trace information externally from the processor.

摘要： A system and method for tracing program code within a processor having an embedded cache memory. The non-invasive tracing technique minimizes the need for trace information to be broadcast externally. The tracing technique monitors changes in instruction flow from the normal execution stream of the code. The tracing technique monitors the updating of processor branch target register contents in order to monitor branch target flow of the code. A FIFO and serial logic circuitry is utilized to minimize the number of chip pins required to broadcast the information from the chip. The tracing technique utilizes instruction and data breakpoint debug functions to signal an external trace tool that a trace event has occurred.

摘要： Method and apparatus for dynamic control of power management circuitry in a microprocessor. A clock and power management subsystem within the microprocessor contains clock generation and control logic and a powered-down mode register. The register is controlled by register control logic in the microprocessor and determines the powered-down mode of the various hardware units that make up the microprocessor. The clock generation and control logic also receives a powered-down mode enable signal from each of the hardware units. The hardware unit receive a re-power-up signal which, when activated and deactivated, can cause the hardware units to de-activate and activate, respectively, the powered-down mode enable signal. This combination of features allows continuous, repetitive, dynamic, hardware-controlled entry into exit from power saving modes without software intervention, thereby allowing the power saving modes to be used more often and more effectively for shorter periods of time than would be possible with software controlled power management.

摘要： A dynamically configured memory controller to prevent speculative memory accesses of non-well behaved memory. Such dynamic configuration of a memory controller may be accomplished by providing to the memory controller guard information associated with memory requests. The memory controller may then prevent speculative memory accesses when the guard information indicates that the memory requests are of non-well behaved memory. The guard information provided to the memory controller may include guard information associated with each memory request provided to the memory controller.

摘要： A method and apparatus for detecting the null byte at the end of a character string. The method and apparatus first logically concatenates two 32-bit input values into a single 64 bit value. Next, the 64-bit value is divided into 8 bytes. Then, a logical OR operation is performed on each byte and the results are put into an encoder. Finally, the encoder interprets the results of the OR operations and places output values into processor registers which indicate whether or where a null byte was detected.

摘要： A method and apparatus for executing instructions in a pipeline processor. The method decreases the latency between an instruction cache and a pipeline processor when bubbles occur in the processing stream due to an execution of a branch correction, or when an interrupt changes the sequence of an instruction stream. The latency is reduced when a decode stage for detecting branch prediction and a related instruction queue location have invalid data representing a bubble in the processing stream. Instructions for execution are inserted in parallel into the decode stage and instruction queue, thereby reducing by one cycle time the length of the pipeline stage.

摘要： A method and structure for snooping cache memories of several snooping masters connected to a bus macro, wherein each non-originating snooping master has cache memory, and wherein some, but less than all the cache memories, may have the data requested by an originating snooping master and wherein the needed data in a non-originating snooping master is marked as updated, and wherein a main memory having addresses for all data is connected to the bus macro.Only those non-originating snooping masters which may have the requested data are queried. All the non-originating snooping masters that have been queried reply. If a non-originating snooping master has the requested data marked as updated, that non-originating snooping master returns the updated data to the originating snooping master and possibly to the main memory. If none of the non-originating snooping masters has the requested data marked as updated, then the requested data is read from main memory.

摘要： A multiplier efficiently multiplies signed or unsigned binary polynomial operands. The multiplier includes storage means for temporary storage of a current multiplier and a current multiplicand each of which being binary polynomials, one or more Booth decoders for examining multiplier bits iteratively in predetermined groups and presenting a Booth decoder output as one set of inputs to a plurality of delta generators and a partial product delta generator. Another set of inputs to the delta generators and the partial product delta generator is a predetermined group of bits from a multiplicand. The outputs of the partial product delta generator are multiplexed with outputs of the partial product register to provide inputs of an adder array. The adder array has outputs to a parallel adder which generates partial products which are then fed back to the multiplexor. The operation of the multiplier is controlled by a state machine wherein the multiplexor selects one of a plurality of inputs to the multiplexor as output depending upon the state condition of the state machine.

摘要： A method for synchronous broadcasting of multiple bytes over a VME bus broadcasts multiple bytes of data across the VME bus using hardware which interfaces between the bus and attached devices. An VME address modifier code is used to identify the type of broadcast and is sent by a master device, without requiring any response from the slave devices. In a first type of broadcast an address location is transmitted over the address bus and a data message is transmitted over the data bus. In a second type of broadcast data messages are transmitted over both the data and the address buses. Multiple broadcast cycles are used to transmit the desired amount of data. An address strobe qualifies the address and data buses for a message broadcast cycle and is used by the receiving slave to clock in the message.
