International Classification:

G06F 1300
G06F 1100

US Classification:

39520001

Abstract:

Apparatus and method for use in a multiprocessor system (10) having a plurality of processing nodes (P0-P3) each of which includes a local data processor (22a, 28a). The apparatus includes an interface (42) to a controller (14), the interface including a register (48) for storing a function received from the controller, such as a diagnostic function. The interface further includes circuitry (50) for providing the diagnostic function as a packet to an input terminal of a bit serial communication bus (40). The communication bus is threaded through each of the plurality of processing nodes and has an output terminal that terminates at the interface. Each of the nodes includes a register (54) for receiving the packet and, responsive to information conveyed thereby, for halting the local data processor and for controlling the operation of local data processor control signal lines, data signal lines, and address signal lines so as to execute the diagnostic function, such as reading data from or writing data to a specified location. The local data processor may also be reset, rebooted, restarted from a halted condition, or interrupted.

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F 900

US Classification:

395800

Abstract:

A multiprocessor data processing system (10), and a method of operating same, so as to provide efficient bandwidth utilization of shared system resources (24, 26). The system includes a plurality of processor nodes, each of which includes a data processor (22a, 28a). A first step of a method buffers data written by a data processor to a first bus (23a), prior to the data being transmitted to a second bus (32). Also buffered are byte enable (BE) signals generated by the data processor in conjunction with the data written by the data processor. A next step performs a main memory (26) write operation by transmitting the buffered data to the second bus; responsive to the stored BE signals, also transmitting a control signal for indicating if a memory write is to be accomplished as a read-modify-write (RMW) type of memory operation; and transmitting the stored BE signals to the second bus. A further step couples the data, the RMW signal, and the BE signals from the second bus to a third bus (24) for reception by the main memory.

International Classification:

G06F 3/0481

US Classification:

3406916

Abstract:

A security system, system user interface, and method for displaying status information from security devices in a networked security system using a multistate alert user interface. The security system supports different features in icons associated with the security devices, displayed on a graphical user interface. This provides operators with the ability to display status information from security devices, such as alert information comprising one or more alerts, by displaying the icons on a topology map of the graphical user interface. In this way, the operator can determine at a glance the number and type of alert information from the topology map without the need to perform additional selection and navigation steps within the graphical user interface.
