Abstract: PURPOSE: To detect errors with simple constitution by giving an error signal when a first operation result for first and second operands and a second operation result for third and fourth operands are not equal. CONSTITUTION: A redundant multiplication result is transferred from a COU output register 36 to the scratch register 50b of a register file 50 or from the register to either J or K register 54 or 56 in a data device 18. At the same time, an (shifted) initial result is transferred from a scratch path (SPAD) 64 to the other J or K register 54 or 56. The contents of the two registers are exclusively OR-processed by an arithmetic and logic unit(ALU) 58. The result is monitored by a zero detection circuit 70 and a comparison processing is executed. When the error is detected, a series of other means is given and the error becomes a multiplication error. Thus, the error can be detected with simple constitution.

Abstract: PURPOSE: To simplify a system by activating an exception procedure developed for a signal instruction by a unique exception processing procedure. CONSTITUTION: An exception display test bit field generated by an ALU is connected with the input of a latched MUX 110, a control port is connected with the control field of a microcode in a level 5, and the output is connected with a second input port of an AND gate 106. The output of a first decoder DEC I flashes a pipe line and inhibits the writing operation of a level 5 when an exception condition is discovered. The MUX 110 transmits a specific exception display test bit to be tested about an instruction family during execution, and when the exception condition is generated, the AND gate 106 is opened, a microcode filed of (m) bits in a level 5 is decoded, and a control signal for executing a non-paring restarting procedure execution is generated. Thus, the system can be simplified.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a multiprocessor system via a single system by attaining a fault tolerant action through the fail-first and fail-functional actions. SOLUTION: The digital information are communicated among plural processing system elements in the form of a message packet which includes the data to identify these system elements as addresses. Then plural port means of an input/output routing device correspond to the processing system elements and transmit and receive in 2-way fashion the message packet to each other. Furthermore, the routing means answers the address identification data, checks the message packet and sends an error mark to the message packet if an error is detected in order to select one of those port means which are connected together so as to enable a processing system element to send the message packet to another.

Abstract: PURPOSE: To construct a large-scaled parallel processing system with a band width which can be used for access to data held by the system in which each processor unit has high availability. CONSTITUTION: A large-scaled parallel processor is constituted by connecting many individual processor units. Plural processor parts 12 including one or plural processor units mutually connected for data communication by a redundant bus mechanism is formed. Then, the processor parts 12 are mutually connected by a toroidal constitution, and the array of horizontal and vertical rows is formed. Each processor part 12 is connected with the four adjacent processor parts 12 through dual communication paths 14 and 16. Thus, at least two individual paths are provided for data communication from one arbitrary processor unit to another arbitrary processor unit. Each processor unit includes an individual input/output bus mechanism which can be used for mutually connecting the processor part array in extension to three dimension.

Abstract: PURPOSE: To check the state of each CPU by the other CPU in the case of providing a fault tolerant type computer system. CONSTITUTION: The fault tolerant type computer system is provided with the plural CPU for executing the same instruction stream and a common memory having a memory space to be accessed by all the CPU. Inside the common memory, private memory spaces 155a, 155b and 155c are respectively provided for storing state information for each CPU. Each private memory space enables write only from one CPU corresponding to that space but read is enabled from all the CPU. Thus, it can be immediately and easily evaluated whether the state of its own CPU is equal with the states of the other CPU or not.

Abstract: PURPOSE: To perform 2-cycle RAM access without sacrificing performance by using the first and second banks of a control memory and storing micro- instructions. CONSTITUTION: A calculation system 10 is provided with a macroinstruction processor (IPU) 14 for storing and taking out macroinstructions, this micro- instruction sequencer 22 for generating the micro-instructions corresponding to the macro-instructions stored inside the IPU 14 and a data processor (DPU) 26 for storing and processing data corresponding to instructions from the IPU 14 and the micro-instruction sequencer 22. Then, the micro-instruction sequencer 22 communicates with the IPU 14 and the DPU 26 respectively through an IPU-sequencer bus 30 and a DPU-sequencer bus 36. Also, the IPU 14 communicates with the DPU 26 through an IPU-DPU bus 37. Thus, the DPU 26 starts the execution of the micro-instruction at a rank 1 while a first micro- instruction is executed at the rank 2.

Abstract: PURPOSE: To improve an instruction processing capability by transmitting the family of instructions including an instruction in the format of collation to an ALU and a memory in one clock. CONSTITUTION: First and second instructions in an instruction family are stored in pipe line registers ROF and ROS 20 and 18, decoded by decoders 22 and 24, and the decoded results are outputted to DCO buses 28 and 30. Then, status information from the both decoded results is transmitted to a pairing logical devices PLU control port 26 on status buses 32 and 34. This is used for a processor which uses one stack as the data source and data sink of the ALU (arithmetic and logical unit) processing. Thus, a capability can be improved by the parallel processing capability of the instruction family of this system.
