Method And Apparatus For Communicating With Remote Units Of A Distributive Data Processing System

Assignee:
International Business Machines Corp. - Armonk NY
International Classification:
G06F 1338
US Classification:
364200
Abstract:
Described is an architecture and protocol for exchanging messsages within a distributive data processing system. Instead of transmitting a frame with a beginning flag field (SDEL) followed by an address field as is the usual case, the SDEL field and address field collapsed and merged into a single field. The field includes a control bit whose setting determines whether the field is the beginning of a frame or otherwise. A second control bit within the single field is used to identify the type of message being transmitted and the response that a recipient station is permitted to return to a control unit issuing the message. The protocol is well suited for framing messages in the well known SDLC communications format. In this format it allows the detection of delimiters without resorting to bit stuffing.
Method For Resolving Conflicts Between Interrupt Sources Sharing The Same Priority Level
Brian E. Blair - Raleigh NC Mark H. Weiss - Raleigh NC
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corp. - Armonk NY
International Classification:
G06F 900
US Classification:
364200
Abstract:
A method for controlling a processor in a data processing system so that multiple events are serviced on a single interrupt level. On the occurrence of a first interrupt request the processor is forced to run the routine that services the interrupt in a background mode. This is accomplished by immediately clearing the interrupt source, thus permitting the processor to accept new interrupt requests on the same level. On the occurrence of a second interrupt request, at the same level, the processor branches from executing the first interrupt routine on the background mode to service the second interrupt request on an interrupt level or foreground mode.
