    Abstract: In computer systems deliberate initializations/resets of the processor latches which represent the internal processor states are necessary to erase only such information which is not required for a subsequent operation (e.g.processing/logging error data) prior to a processor start. One or more reset areas are defined which are initialized /reset in a staggered mode, where in each area a group of latches is assembled which have to be initialized/reset depending on the cause (e.g. power-on) for such a system initialization/reset. The latches within a reset area are connected to form shift registers which are initialized/reset by propagating a binary zero through all latches of the area(s) to be reset.

    Abstract: GE9-91-010 QUASI-SYNCHRONOUS INFORMATION TRANSFER AND PHASE ALIGNMENT MEANS FOR ENABLING SAME A quasi-synchronous information (clocking, data, control signals) transfer between a master unit A and at least one neighbor unit B offers the advantage that one transfer can occur every cycle where any interface delays are tolerated. When the master unit A sends its internal clock along with data and/or control signals to its neighbor unit B, the last named unit receives this clock and derives any and all locally required clocks from this clock. This keeps unit B exactly at the same frequency as unit A, although a phase shift occurs. Unit B also sends its internal clock along with data and/or control signals to unit A. When the clock signals arrive back at unit A, they will have exactly the same frequency as the internal clock of unit A but also an additional phase shift. Compensation of the overall phase shift will be done by a phase alignment means to which all signals are sent on their way to unit A.
