Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To remove a similar data copy during the transfer of data between CPUs and a storage disk. SOLUTION: A storage processor 130 controls access to a server net packetizer 30 with storage devices 100 to 105, 110 to 115. A software routine is used for supplying direct access to a storage device 30 by request CPU 22. A virtual memory address to the buffer 160 of the request CPU 22 is generated by the request CPU 22. At the same time of the storage device access request, the virtual memory address is sent to CPU 20 including the storage processor 130. A working request includes the virtual memory address sent from the storage processor 130 to the storage device 30. Next data is directly transferred between request CPU 22 and the storage device 30. The storage device 30 responds to the working request next.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a multiplex processor system combining the both of two approaches with a fault telerant architecture, a hardware redundancy and a software recovery technique by a single system. SOLUTION: A multiprocessor system 10 includes a number of sub-processor systems 10A and 10B each of which is substantially composed into the same one. The one CPU 12 is the sub-processor systems 10A and 10B is possible to perform communication through the I/O device 17 of the system of the CPU 12 of the system and a routing element 14. The communication between the I/O device 17 operating in a simplex mode and the CPUs 12 is performed by the message made into a packet. The CPUs 12 and the I/O device are written in the memory of the CPU 12 of the system or are read from the memory. The protection of the memory is maintained by each CPU 12 provided with the propriety inspection for the reading/writing to the memory of the CPU 12.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To attain the arbitration that instantaneously uses a mechanism of high priority by monitoring the message traffic passing through every port input and elevating the priority of the port input having the message traffic under waiting. SOLUTION: A multiprocess system 10 includes at least a pair of CPUs 12a and 12b, a route designation unit, i.e., a router 16, and plural input/output units 14a to 14i which are connected to each other in a system area network constitution via a two-way communication link 18. When the two-level arbitration is carried out, the arbitration is first given between two port inputs which acquire the port input accesses by means of a low level priority mechanism. Then the port inputs having the message traffic under waiting are accepted through many arbitration cycles. Thus the priority levels of these port inputs are elevated, and the arbitration using instantaneously a high priority mechanism is applied.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a multiprocessor system via a simple system by attaining a fault tolerant action through the fail-first and fail-functional actions. SOLUTION: This clock circuit includes a binary input counter and a binary output counter and deletes the data elements out of plural storage positions of an FIFO. A clock generator supplies a clock signal of frequency F1 having an N-to-M ratio (N, M: integers and N>M) against the frequency Fo of a received clock signal. A serial shift register has plural continuous register stages to receive the clock signals from the clock generator and shifts the data bits which are received at these register stages. Then a multiplexer selectively receives one of register stages in response to a control signal and forms a sub-shift register which has plural shift registers.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain s useful tool for fault separation by providing an error inspecting function, and detecting and processing a difference (divergence) between two CPUs which operate in duplex mode. SOLUTION: A data processing system 10 is equipped with two subprocessor systems 10A and 10B which have substantially the same structure and functions. Each of the subprocessor systems 10A and 10B includes a central processing unit(CPU) 12, a router 14, and an I/O packet interface 16 having a relative I/O 17. The pair of CPUs 12 operate at the same time to copy the same instruction in an instruction stream and the instruction stream at substantially the same time and perform substantially the same operation at substantially the same time, thereby supplying output data. Here, a data inspecting element is used to receive the output data from the couple of CPUs 12 and compare the data with each other.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To facilitate fault-tolerant operation by establishing synchronized and substantially lock-step operation of a 2nd processor element by a 1st processor element which should have the 2nd processor element executing the same instruction at substantially the same moment with the 1st processor element. SOLUTION: A frequency confinement clock signal is used to sent symbols between CPUs 12 of subprocessor systems 10A and 10B paired with routers 14A and 14B. Each route 14 is equipped with six two-way TNet ports 0-5. Two ports 4 and 5 used to connect to the CPU 12 are constituted differently to some extent. This difference enables operation in synchronized lock step mode. For example, a message packet received by the port 3 of the route 14A, for example, is copied by the router 14A and sent from the routers 4 and 5 so that the same symbol is transmitted to the CPU 12 at substantially the same time.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of providing a bias to decide any of two or more inputs in contention with respect to a data communication access to the same output. SOLUTION: A designated bias value is given to each input of a router 16 allowing one communication, cumulated bias values are generated and the resulting input is compared with other inputs decided for access to its output. One of the inputs is selected for the output access based on the comparison and the cumulated bias value of the selected input is decreased by the sum of designated bias values of the other inputs participating the decision but not selected. On the other hand, each of the cumulated bias values of the other inputs taking part in the decision is increased by the designated bias value corresponding thereto. Thus, the expectation to the output access is higher for lots of the going to access the same output as they are kept waiting for a longer time, and conversely the input allowed for the access has less expectation to the access just after the allowed access in order to allow the access by the other inputs.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To specify an Enq record to an application process by storing it in an Enq table on a 1st server computer among server computers without reference to which of the server computer executes one Enq instruction. SOLUTION: An end user terminal 102-1 sends and receives data to and from a server system 110 through a communication management process 112. The communication management process 112 performs the route specification of a data message between a terminal and a transaction router process 114. The transaction router process 114 sends the corresponding transaction record to a link manager process 115, which selects a user application process 116-2 and stores it in the Enq table on the 1st server computer among the server computers without reference to which server computer executes one Enq instruction.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To completely and quickly recover from the destructions of a first- order data processing system and a related data storage device by coupling each extender of first and second cites by each single mode fiber and performing an access to a first-order disk or a mirror disk when a fiber switch goes wrong. SOLUTION: In order to simultaneously prevent the access to either one of disks from both systems, the first extender 64a of a first-order cite 10 and the third extender 64c of a second-order cide 30 or the second extender 64b of the first cite 10 and the third extender 64c of the second-order cite 30 are coupled by separate single mode fibers, respectively. For instance, when a fiber switch 62a goes wrong, the first-order cite 10 performs an access to a first-order 50 via a fourth first-order disk controller 22 and a second fiber switch 62b and performs the access to a mirror disk 52 via a third first-order disk controller 20 and a second fiber switch 63b.
