摘要： In a multiprocessor environment, by executing cache-inhibited reads or writes to registers, a scan communication is used to rapidly access registers inside and outside a chip originating the command. Cumbersome locking of the memory location may be thus avoided. Setting of busy latches at the outset virtually eliminates the chance of collisions, and status bits are set to inform the requesting core processor that a command is done and free of error, if that is the case.

摘要： A method and apparatus for transferring data using an on-chip bus is presented. A data transaction consisting of an address and data packet is transmitted on an on-chip bus which is a two-wire serial bus consisting of an address line and a data line that connects a plurality of satellites in a daisy-chain fashion to a central source. Each on-chip satellite is associated with a unique identifier. In response to a determination that the transaction is accepted by the satellite, which is determined by the address in the address packet positively comparing to a unique identifier for the satellite, the address packet is modified to provide a positive acknowledgment of a receipt of the address packet back to the central source of the transaction. The address packet is modified by clearing the stop bit of the address packet, i.e. gating off or negating the stop bit. Alternatively, the address packet is otherwise modified to indicate the acceptance of the packet. The source of the address packet will identify that the operation was successful by detecting that the stop bit is cleared from the framed address packet, thereby receiving the positive acknowledgment indication, thus indicating that a successful transaction occurred.

摘要： A method of communicating between processing units on different integrated circuit chips in a multi-processor computer system by issuing a command from a source processing unit to a destination processing unit, receiving the command at the destination processing unit while the destination processing unit is processing program instructions, and accessing free-running, scan registers in clock-controlled components of the destination processing unit without interrupting processing of the program instructions by the destination processing unit. The access may be a read from status or mode registers of the destination processing unit, or write to control or mode registers. Many processing units can be interconnected in a ring topology, and the access command can be passed from the source processing unit through several other processing units before reaching the destination processing unit.

摘要： A method and system for testing an integrated circuit. A test substrate is provided which is manufactured by the same particular production technology for which the integrated circuit is designed. A pattern generator for generating test data and a result checker for comparing output data are embedded on the test substrate. Isolated portions of circuitry of the integrated circuit are selectively embedded onto the test substrate. Test data from the pattern generator is applied to the isolated portions of circuitry under a first operating condition. The data output from the isolated portions of circuitry is selectively recorded into the result checker. The isolated portions of circuitry are then subjected to testing by applying test data from the pattern generator to the isolated portions of circuitry under a second operating condition. Errors in the isolated portions of circuitry are detected with the result checker by comparing data output from the isolated portions of circuitry with the selectively recorded data output, such that the integrated circuit is tested by subsets, independently of testing the integrated circuit in its entirety.

摘要： Monitoring is performed to detect a hang condition. A timer is set to detect a hang based on a core hang limit. If a thread hangs for the duration of the core hang limit, then a core hang is detected. If the thread is performing an external memory transaction, then the timer is increased to a longer memory hang limit. If the thread is waiting for a shared resource, then the timer may be increased to the longer memory hang limit if another thread or, more particularly, the thread blocking the resource has a pending memory transaction. Responsive to detecting a hang condition, instructions dispatched to the plurality of execution units may be flushed, or the processor may be reset and restored to a previously known good, checkpointed architected state.

摘要： The system and method of the present invention is embodied in a multi-state on-chip logic analyzer that is preferably integrated into a VLSI circuit. In general, the logic analyzer is preferably coupled to a multilevel trace array for storing event trace data generated by the logic analyzer. Input and output logic coupled to both the trace array and the logic analyzer allows reading or writing from or to the trace array, and programming of trigger and condition criteria for transitioning states within the logic analyzer. The logic analyzer has the capability match one or more programmable trigger events to satisfy one or more programmable conditions. Further, the logic analyzer preferably has the capability to initialize programmable conditions in desired states, and to store event trace data in an on-chip array for trace data reconstruction and analysis. Trace array input and output logic allows reading or writing from or to the trace array, and programming of trigger and condition criteria for transitioning states within the logic analyzer. Further, the trace array input and output logic is preferably accessible at both the wafer and component stage to allow for testing and debugging of the VLSI circuitry.
