Abstract: A multi-bus microcomputer system includes a cache subsystem and an arbitration supervisor. A CPU is provided with a PREEMPT signal source which generates a preempt signal in CPU cycles extending beyond a specified duration. The preempt signal is effective at any device having access to the bus to initiate an orderly termination of the bus usage. When that device signals its termination of bus usage, the arbitration supervisor changes the state of an ARB/GRANT conductor, which had been in the grant phase, to the arbitration phase. During the arbitration phase each of the devices (other than the CPU) cooperates in an arbitration mechanism for bus usage during the next grant phase. On the other hand, the CPU, having asserted preempt, responds to a signal indicating initiation of the arbitration phase by immediately accessing the system bus.

Abstract: Un système de micro-calculateur à bus multiple comprend un sous système d'antémémoire et un superviseur d'arbitrage. Une unité CPU est prévu avec une source de signaux PREEMPT qui génère un signal de péemption dans des cycles CPU dépassant une durée spécifiée. Le signal de préemption peut s'appliquer à n'importe quel dispositif ayant accès au bus pour initier la fin de l'usage du bus. Lorsque ce dispositif signale sa fin d'usage du bus, le superviseur d'arbitrage change l'état d'un conducteur d'attribution d'arbitrage qui était en phase d'attribution, en phase d'arbitrage. Pendant la phase d'arbitrage, chacun des dispositifs (autres que l'unité CPU) coopère dans un mécanisme d'arbitrage d'usage du bus pendant la phase d'attribution suivante. D'autre part, l'unité CPU ayant revendiqué la préemption, répond à un signal indiquant l'amorçage de la phase d'arbitrage en accédant immédiatement au bus de système.
