Abstract: A METHOD FOR INTEGRATING STRUCTURED DATA AND STRING DATA ON A TEXT PROCESSING SYSTEM An improved method is disclosed for operating an interactive text processing system to integrate and process data having type structured fields of fixed length and data having variable length field text or string field data which contain both graphic data characters and format control characters in the same record. The method involves displaying to the text processing system operator a menu of data type codes selectable through a keyboard for defining the types of data fields in a record. In response to operator selected field types, structured fields of fixed length and address pointers of fixed length for the string fields are established for the records. When the data is keyed in, the structured fields are concatenated with the string field address pointers and the text data, including format control codes, is stored at a system selected address on an auxiliary storage device such as a disk file. The structured field data is displayed or printed under control of the field length definintions and the string field data is displayed or printed under control of the address pointer and imbedded format control codes.

Abstract: A Transport Layer Protocol Boundary (TLPB) architecture is described which will permit an application program to run over a non-native transport protocol without first generating a protocol compensation package tailored to the transport protocols assumed by the program's application programming interface and by the available transport provider. All transport functions required by the program are converted to standardized or TLPB representations. When a connection between the first application program and a second remote application is requested, the individual required TLPB transport functions are compared to corresponding functions supported by the transport provider. Compensations are invoked only where there is a mismatch. The node on which the remote application program runs is informed of the compensations so that necessary de-compensation operations can be performed before the data is delivered to the remote application program.

Abstract: AT9-85-029 VOICE BUFFER MANAGEMENT In a signal processing environment, voice messages are stored into and read out of a buffer in real time. Since voice messages are being stored and read from the buffer, different sizes and rates of information are being stored therein. Small packets of digitized voice are input to the buffer at a very high rate, while larger packets of data are output from the buffer at a lower rate and can be stored into permanent memory. The buffering of this digitized voice data occurs in real time using a ringed buffer. The transfer of data into and out of the buffer is under the control of a software application running on a host processing system. The producer of the digitized voice data is a signal processing system which converts an input analog voice signal into a compressed digitized signal. The consumer of the buffered digitized voice data is a software application program which removes blocks of multiple data records from the buffer for program execution.

Abstract: HARDWARE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT An application programming interface enables system hardware resources to interact with application programs to provide a plurality of signal processing functions. Conflicting resource requirements by the application programs are detected. An application may preempt a currently executing application by claiming the hardware resources currently in use. The application from which resources have been claimed is identified so that it may be resumed when the required resources become once again available. Before the resources from a given application are claimed by another application, the user is provided a warning so that he may alter the order in which the applications are run.

Abstract: The method provides a separate trace table (TT) for each CPU in an MP (multiprocessor) to avoid inter-CPU interference in making trace table entries (16) for explicit and implicit tracing instructions enabled by flag bits (E, A, B) in a control register (CR). Explicit tracing entries are made for an enabled explicit tracing (TR) instruction (11). Implicit tracing entries are made for predetermined instructions (when enabled for tracing) which do not have tracing as their primary purpose. A storage operand (12) of the trace instruction (11) contains a disablement field (T) and optionally may contain an enablement-controlling class field (4...7) to improve the integrity of traceable programs. A time stamp and a range of general register (R1...R3) contents is provided in each trace table entry for a tracing instruction. The time stamp enables all trace tables in an MP system to be later merged into a single trace table whenever required.

Abstract: AT9-85-027 SIGNAL PROCESSOR COMMUNICATION INTERFACE A communication interface for providing asynchronous and telephonic communications is disclosed. The interface enables software applications, which are independent of any hardware or physical addresses, to operate on the interface. In this manner, the software applications can be written independent of hardware implementation and protocol implementation. A set of configuration parameters is defined for both an asynchronous and telephonic communication function set. Additionally, a set of interrupt conditions is defined for both the asynchronous and telephonic communication function sets. These parameters and interrupt conditions control the interaction of the software applications across the interface with the system hardware. Means are provided for directing commands coming from a software application across the interface to the system hardware. Likewise, means are provided for generating interrupts and handling these interrupts from the system hardware across the interface back to an interrupt routine within the software application.

Abstract: AT9-81-035 REPORT GENERATION CONTROL SYSTEM FOR TEXT PROCESSING MACHINES A report generation control system for operating a text processor to produce output reports containing inter-report summary data from data processing-type files. The system is compatible with text pagination functions and is useable by a text entry/revision operator with no programming skills. The system permits the operator to describe the desired report by keying an example page of the report in the exact desired format and then editing the example page by replacing the required variable file data examples with descriptive instructions and by inserting summary instructions. The system scans the edited example page for instructions, breaks it down into logical components and compiles the components into program routines which will produce the desired output report.
