摘要:
For transfer of memory contents between an extended buffer memory and one of a first and a second main memory and of a peripheral storage device connected to an input-output processor, a transfer controlling arrangement can simultaneously receive transfer requests produced by a central processor, an arithmetic processor, and the input-output processor and can control the transfer requests. The transfer controlling arrangement comprises an extended buffer memory transfer controller connected to the central and the input-output processors through a first transfer controller, to the arithmetic processor through a second transfer controller, and to the extended buffer memory.

A communication processing control apparatus for controlling data transmission between an arithmetic processing control apparatus and a network includes first and second communication processing sections, and a data control section. The first and second communication processing sections are made duplex and inserted into a duplex data transmission route to perform the same processing. The data control section adds CRC data to input data, and outputs the data to the first and second communication processing sections, and simultaneously checks the CRC data contained in output data from the first and second communication processing sections to detect a fault in the first and second communication processing sections.

In a high speed computer having a memory and a plurality of arithmetic processors divided into groups, the arithmetic processors of each group being connected to the memory in a hierarchical order in a master-subordinate relationship, the memory and the arithmetic processors generates an alarm signal indicating a failed part of the memory and each of the arithmetic processors. During a fault recovery process, a test program is performed on the computer to determine if it is properly functioning. If a favorable result is indicated, the computer is restarted in an original system configuration. Otherwise, part of the arithmetic processors is isolated from the computer depending on the alarm signal to degrade the computer into a first degraded system configuration. The test program is performed again on the first degraded system configuration. If the second test produces a favorable result, the computer is restarted in the first degraded system configuration. Otherwise, one or more of the arithmetic processors are isolated from the computer depending on the alarm signal so that the computer is degraded into a second degraded system configuration.

In a data processing method of this invention, data having an amount of a designated total data transfer length is transferred from a data buffer in a data mover to a designated start address of a control memory at a data transfer rate of a control data transfer control unit. Data having an amount of a designated block data transfer length is transferred from the buffer in the data mover to a designated start address of a high-speed arithmetic memory at a data transfer rate of a high-speed data transfer control unit.
摘要:
An interprocessor communication system is used in an information processing system having a plurality of processor units. Those processor units are classified into a first group comprising control processor and IO processor units and into a second group comprising a plurality of execution processor units. In order to enable to start communication between two of the execution processors when one unit in the first group is performing communication with another one of the plurality of processor units, the interprocessor communication system comprises first through third locking circuits for issuing a first through third permission and then locking further issue of the first through third permissions, respectively. Two units in the first group communicate with each other after acquiring the first permission. Two units in the second group communicate with each other after acquiring the second permission. One unit in the first group communicates with one unit in second group after acquiring the third permission. Even when one unit in the first group is communicating with one unit in the second processor group, two other units in the second processor group can acquire the second permission to thereby communicate with each other.

An extended memory address control system includes a disk address designation unit for managing the extended memory as a virtual disk, a disk address conversion unit for converting a virtual disk address designated by the disk address designation unit to a first physical address of the extended memory, a memory address designation unit for managing the extended memory as a continuous memory space, a memory address conversion unit for converting a memory address designated by the memory address designation unit to a second physical address of the extended memory, a type discrimination unit for discriminating whether the extended memory is managed as a virtual disk or a continuous memory space, and an access control unit for accessing the extended memory using one of the first and second physical addresses indicated by the type discrimination unit.
摘要:
In an information processing system for use in detecting an error in a main memory (11) comprising a plurality of memory units (111 to 118) and a common control section (19), an error detection signal and an error address are sent from a request source processor (15) to a diagnostic address generator (31) when an error is detected on an access operation of the request source processor. On diagnostic access operations, the diagnostic address generator successively produces a plurality of diagnostic addresses including the error address to receive diagnostic replies, each of which comprises a reply code. When an error of the main memory is indicated by the reply code, an error detection controller (32) discriminates the diagnostic address on occurrence of the error in the diagnostic operations to disconnect the memory unit or units from the main memory by the use of a memory restructuring circuit (36). All of the memory units are disconnected when a malfunction of the common control section is discriminated by the error detection controller.
