Estimating the term…
A system for controlling an activity (program) switch on a scientific processor having an external executive control program. It includes the sequencing of the hardware at a macro level rather than at the more detailed lower levels previously used. This sequencing and control is accomplished by providing a macro code control, a macro code store and an instruction buffer write data selector interconnected with the existing macro logic and the main storage of the scientific processor to provide a system for starting, running and stopping the scientific processor by an activity switch which responds to interrupt signals to selectively shift from the receipt of data from the main storage to the receipt of data from the macro code store.
In a scientific data processor requiring an external executive control program, said scientific data processor having an activity switch which includes an instruction cache buffer to receive the temporarily store data from a main storage, an instruction address selection logic means connected to said instruction cache buffer and an instruction decode and sequencing control means coupled to said instruction cache buffer, apparatus for controlling said activity switch of said scientific processor at the macro instruction level comprising:
In a scientific data processor requiring an external executive central program, said scientific data processor having an activity switch which controls its activation and deactivation, a macro level control apparatus for the controlling of such activity switch comprising:
A macro level control apparatus for the control of an activity switch in a scientific processor which scientific processor requires an executive control program comprising:
