Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved technology which processes an I/O address conversion cache error caused by an I/O command in a CPU. SOLUTION: A CPU hardware can buffer the I/O command that has caused the I/O address conversion cache error in a command queue until an I/O address conversion cache is updated by using required information. When the I/O address conversion cache is updated, the CPU reissues the I/O command from the command queue, converts an address of the I/O command at convenient time, and executes and processes the command as if the cache miss has not occurred. Thus, an I/O device does not need to process an error response from the CPU, the I/O command is processed by the CPU, and the I/O command is not canceled. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a first method for removing entries from an address cache, in a first aspect. SOLUTION: This first method includes steps of (1) writing data to a register; and (2) removing a plurality of address cache entries from the address cache based on the data written to the register.

Abstract:
STORAGE ADDRESSING CONTROL APPARATUS Addressing control apparatus is structured to provide either byte or word addressing of storage organized on a word basis. The storage address register is made shiftable whereby for byte operations it is shifted, and the bit shifted out of the register is used for byte selection. The contents of the storage address register are used to address storage for both word and byte addressing, and no change is required. The storage access, however, for byte addressing takes place after the shift is completed and the timing is adjusted to account for the shift operation. Gate control logic is modified to facilitate the byte selection. RO980-003
