| 5649155 | Cache memory accessed by continuation requests In a cache memory system, continuation registers are provided to abbreviated address data identifying the line position in the cache memory from which data is fetched. When data is fetched from a line in said cache memory, the bin number and line position... | 07/15/1997 |
| 5590348 | Status predictor for combined shifter-rotate/merge unit Generation of functional status followed by the use of the status to control the sequencing of microinstructions is a well known critical path in processor designs. The delay associated with the path is exacerbated in superscalar machines by the additiona... | 12/31/1996 |
| 5544088 | Method of I/O pin assignment in a hierarchial packaging system A method is provided to assign component I/O (input/output, the interface area between levels of physical packaging) pins for all components at each level of the computer system. In a hierarchical, top-down design methodology, the I/O pins for each comput... | 08/06/1996 |
| 5504932 | System for executing scalar instructions in parallel based on control bits appended by compounding decoder An instruction processor system for decoding compound instructions created from a series of base instructions of a scalar machine, the processor generating a series of compound instructions with an instruction format text having appended control bits in t... | 04/02/1996 |
| 5504878 | Method and apparatus for synchronizing plural time-of-day (TOD) clocks with a central TOD reference over non-dedicated serial links using an on-time event (OTE) character A central time-of-day reference is integrated into a switch which interconnects I/O devices and host processors in a computer complex via fiber-optic links.
