摘要： In a multiprocessor write-into-cache data processing system including: a memory; at least first and second shared caches; a system bus coupling the memory and the shared caches; at least one processor having a private cache coupled, respectively, to each shared cache; method and apparatus for preventing hogging of ownership of a gateword stored in the memory which governs access to common code/data shared by processes running in the processors by which a read copy of the gateword is obtained by a given processor by performing successive swap operations between the memory and the given processor's shared cache, and the given processor's shared cache and private cache. If the gateword is found to be OPEN, it is CLOSEd by the given processor, and successive swap operations are performed between the given processor's private cache and shared cache and shared cache and memory to write the gateword CLOSEd in memory such that the given processor obtains exclusive access to the governed common code/data. When the given processor completes use of the common code/data, it writes the gateword OPEN in its private cache, and successive swap operations are performed between the given processor's private cache and shared cache and shared cache and memory to write the gateword OPEN in memory.

摘要： In order to reduce the size of the memory employed to store firmware, the firmware is written in virtual control words which are then reduced by allotting them to a primary control word memory and at least one secondary control word memory which is addressed by a field in the primary control word memory. A virtual set of secondary control words are each divided into a plurality of fields, and each field of each secondary virtual control word is marked as guarded or "don't care". If a field is marked as "don't care", the function represented by the virtual control word will perform properly no matter what the content of that field. Virtual control word pairs are then examined to ascertain if they can be combined into a single control word. If the guarded fields in the first virtual control word align with the "don't care" fields in the second virtual control word and vice versa, the two virtual control words can be combined into a single control word containing the contents of the guarded fields from both virtual control words, the remaining fields, if any, remaining "don't care". This process may be reiterated to determine if the combined control word can be further combined with another virtual control word. In operation, all the functions represented by a combined control word are executed by calling for that single control word stored in the secondary control word memory.

摘要： In order to gather, store temporarily and deliver (if needed) central processor safestore information, a multiphase clock is employed to capture (one full clock cycle behind) the safestore information which typically includes all software visible registers in all (or selected) data manipulation chips of the CPU by routing the safestore information through temporary storage (under the influence of the multiphase clock) in a cache data array and into a special purpose XRAM module. Thus, upon the sensing of a fault, valid safestore information is available in the XRAM for analysis and, if appropriate, resumption of operation at a sequential point just previous to that at which the fault occurred.

摘要： A fault handling process in a computer system subject to CPU design errors and functioning under an operating system (OS) having an integral fault handling module includes the steps of: setting an intercept flag when a central processor fault occurs if the fault is to be directed to a preprocessor; establishing a safestore frame which includes information identifying the type of fault and whether the intercept flag is set; and transferring control to the OS fault handling module; then in the OS fault handling module, determining whether the intercept flag is set; if the intercept flag is not set, handling the fault in the OS fault module; if the intercept flag is set, transferring control from the OS fault module to an Intercept Process written in machine language; and handling the fault in the Intercept Process. This renders the resolution of faults due to correctable CPU design errors independent of the OS employed at a given installation and customizable to a given system without the need to revise the OS fault modules for each OS. As each such design error is worked out (e.g., by installing a substitute integrated circuit in which the error has been corrected), the Intercept Process (and CPU firmware) can be modified to remove monitoring and handling for faults due to the corrected error.
摘要翻译：在具有整体故障处理模块的操作系统（OS）下遭受CPU设计错误和功能的计算机系统中的故障处理过程包括以下步骤：当故障要被引导时发生中央处理器故障时设置拦截标志到预处理器建立一个保险箱框架，其中包括识别故障类型的信息以及是否设置了拦截标志; 并将控制转移到OS故障处理模块; 然后在OS故障处理模块中，确定是否设置了拦截标志; 如果拦截标志未设置，则处理OS故障模块中的故障; 如果设置了拦截标志，则将控制从OS故障模块传送到以机器语言编写的拦截过程; 并处理拦截过程中的故障。这使得由于可修正的CPU设计错误而导致的故障解决，独立于给定安装时使用的OS，并且可以自定义给给定的系统，而无需修改每个操作系统的操作系统故障模块。由于每个这样的设计错误被解决（例如，通过安装错误已被校正的替换集成电路），可以修改截取过程（和CPU固件），以消除由于校正错误导致的故障的监视和处理。
