摘要： In a data processing system, a marked bit is used to identify a data access instruction throughout the pipeline to indicate that the instruction meets user-specified criteria (e.g., a meets a data address range of interest). Based on the marked bit, an in-order program correlation message is generated which indicates when the data access instruction occurs relative to the instruction stream. The marked bit is also used to generate an in-order data trace message. As a result, the trace streams including only data access instructions meeting user-specified criteria may be post-processed and correlated precisely.

摘要： An interrupt controller may serially scan a plurality of interrupt request signals and/or receive interrupt request signals on parallel inputs. A scan latency may be associated with updating the status of serially scanned interrupt requests. Spurious interrupts may result from the scan latency. To reduce the chance of spurious interrupts, serially scanned interrupt requests may be masked for an amount of time following an end of interrupt (EOI). Write cycles to clear interrupt requests may be posted in a write buffer. The delay of such write cycles clearing the write buffer may also result in spurious interrupts. To reduce the chance of such spurious interrupts, EOI cycles may be delayed or retried until the write buffer empties.
摘要翻译：中断控制器可以串行地扫描多个中断请求信号和/或在并行输入上接收中断请求信号。扫描延迟可能与更新串行扫描中断请求的状态相关联。寄生中断可能是由扫描延迟引起的。为了减少伪中断的可能性，串行扫描的中断请求可能会在中断结束（EOI）之后被屏蔽一段时间。清除中断请求的写周期可能会发布在写缓冲区中。清除写缓冲区的这种写周期的延迟也可能导致虚假中断。为了减少这种虚假中断的机会，EOI周期可能被延迟或重试，直到写入缓冲器清空。

摘要： A point-to-point serial communication link between a system interface unit and a peripheral bus interface unit is provide. The system bus interface unit may interface between a CPU bus and a peripheral bus, such as the PCI bus, and may be referred to as a north bridge. The system interface unit may also interface to main memory and to an advanced graphics port. The peripheral bus interface unit may interface between a first peripheral bus, such as the PCI bus, and a second peripheral bus, such as an ISA bus, and may be referred to as a south bridge. The serial communication link between the system interface unit and the bus interface unit may be a one wire serial bus that uses a bus clock from the first peripheral bus as a timing reference. This clock may be the PCI clock. The serial communication link may use a single pin on the system interface unit and a single pin on the bus interface unit to transfer commands between the interface units. A pull-up device may be provided on the serial communication link to maintain a high voltage level on the link when it is not being driven by one of the bus interface units. The north bridge and south bridge may alternate between sending and receiving commands across the

摘要： A technique for optimizing cycle time in maintaining cache coherency. Specifically, a method and apparatus are provided to optimize the processing of requests in a multi-processor-bus system which implements a snoop-based coherency scheme. The acts of snooping a bus for a first address and searching a posting queue for the next address to be snooped are performed simultaneously to minimize the request cycle time.

摘要： A personal computer provides security features enabling control over access to data retained in the computer. The computer is secured by having the system ROM provide a password at power-on to a security device which controls access to the secured features. Once a password has been downloaded to the security device, a Protect Resources command is issued to the security device. To gain access to the secured feature after boot-up, the user provides the correct password to the security device and waits for approval from the security device. Since the security device only verifies the password and does not divulge it, security of the system is enhanced. Once access to protected resources is no longer required, the computer issues another Protect Resources command to the security device to once more lock access to the protected resources.

摘要： Methods for improving processor performance. Specifically, by reducing some of the latency cycles within a host controller, request processing speed can be improved. One technique for improving processing speed involves initiating a deferred reply transaction before the data is available from a memory controller. A second technique involves anticipating the need to transition from a block next request (BNR) state to a bus priority request (BPRI) state, thereby eliminating the need to wait for a request check to determine if the BPRI state must be implemented.
