    Abstract: The system has a number of processors (PU) that form a multiprocessor system that have connections to a common cache memory (15) that serves as a buffer memory between the processors and the main memory (18). A highly efficient means of processing data is provided by subdividing the cache memory into a number of core modules (15-0---15-3). An Independent claim is included for method for high power buffering of instructions and data in cache memory of computer system.

    Abstract: In a micro-controlled data handling system the number of lines and pins required to transfer control signals from the microprogram controls to be integrated circuit modules controlled by such signals is conserved by using two bussing paths for distributing the control signals to the modules. A first path is dedicated exclusively to pre-decoded control signal functions and a second path is shared for transferring both data and control signal functions. Each controlled module contains an additional decoding circuit for combinationally decoding control signal functions received through both paths.

    Abstract: The second order cache memory (L2) has a directory (9) which stores an address i and validity bit Vi(L1) for each of its memory sectors Yi. The value of each validity bit depends on whether the contents of sector Yi are also stored in the corresponding sector Zj of a first order cache memory (L1). Both cache memories store the V-, MC- and C-bits used for MESI cache protocol.
