Patent EP-0457116-A2 (EP)
Inventor: COLEMAN ANDREW
IPC: G06F15/16
Filed: 1991-05-02
Abstract: A computer operating system selects a one or two-phase commit procedure for resources to optimize the overall commit process. The optimization utilizes the more efficient one-phase commit procedure when possible and reserves the less efficient two-phase commit procedure for situations where the two-phase commit procedure is required to protect critical resources. If the resources include a protected conversation or two or more resources in the update mode then the two-phase commit procedure is utilized for these resources. Read-only resources or a single resource in the update mode that support one-phase commit are subject to the one-phase commit procedure. To further optimize the overall process, a plurality of resources are registered in a table, which table may reside in the operating system. The registrations include information about the resources and/or work requests which indicate what type of commit procedure is required. Thus, the operating system need not waste time consulting with resource managers after the registrations are made, before deciding what type of commit procedure is required.

Abstract: A pipelined CPU executing instructions of variable length, and referencing memory using various data widths. Macroinstruction pipelining is employed (instead of microinstruction pipelining), with queueing between units of the CPU to allow flexibility in instruction execution times. A wide bandwidth is available for memory access; fetching 64-bit data blocks on each cycle. A hierarchical cache arrangement has an improved method of cache set selection, increasing the likelihood of a cache hit. A writeback cache is used (instead of writethrough) and writeback is allowed to proceed even though other accesses are suppressed due to queues being full. A branch prediction method employs a branch history table which records the taken vs. not-taken history of branch opcodes recently used, and uses an empirical algorithm to predict which way the next occurrence of this branch will go, based upon the history table. A floating point processor function is integrated on-chip, with enhanced speed due to a bypass technique; a trial mini-rounding is done on low-order bits of the result, and if correct, the last stage of the floating point processor can be bypassed, saving one cycle of latency. For CAL type instructions, a method for determining which registers need to be saved is executed in a minimum number of cycles, examining groups of register mask bits at one time. Internal processor registers are accessed with short (byte width) addresses instead of full physical addresses as used for memory and I/O references, but off-chip processor registers are memory-mapped and accessed by the same busses using the same controls as the memory and I/O. If a non-recoverable error detected by ECC circuits in the cache, an error transition mode is entered wherein the cache operates under limited access rules, allowing a maximum of access by the system for data blocks owned by the cache, but yet minimizing changes to the cache data so that diagnostics may be run. Separate queues are provided for the return data from memory and cache invalidates, yet the order or bus transactions is maintained by a pointer arrangement. The bus protocol used by the CPU to communicate with the system bus is of the pended type, with transactions on the bus identified by an ID field specifying the originator, and arbitration for bus grant goes one simultaneously with address/data transactions on the bus.

Abstract: A Raman laser apparatus (10) for producing a high energy output beam (38) with low divergence is disclosed. An optical pump beam (14) propagates through first and second focuses (34, 36), inside a cell (16) containing gaseous Raman medium (20) at a pressure selected to promote stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) and suppress stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS). The pump beam (14) generates a backward SRS wave at the second focus (36), which propagates back through the first focus (34) and acts as a seed for backward SRS therein. The backward SRS wave is amplified at the first focus (34), and extracted therefrom as an output beam (38) by output means (40). Any forward SRS wave which is generated at either the first focus (34) or the second focus (36) may be reflected back (42) through the second focus (36) and then through the first focus (34) to further increase the backward SRS seed beam at the first focus (34). The output beam (38) is retro-reflected, and has beam divergence comparable to the pump beam divergence.

Abstract: An improved track ball which can be conveniently manipulated with a single hand is disclosed. The track ball protrudes through a circular opening in a housing, with the top edge of the housing having a rounded switch. The switch can thus be manipulated with the fingers while the palm or thumb of the hand is manipulating the track ball. The housing is mounted at an angle to the side of a computer keyboard, providing for easy access. The track ball housing can be rotated to any continuous angle through two angles of rotation by the user. A tetrahedron support arrangement holds the ball in place at any angle. The same housing can be used for either the right or left sides of a keyboard by simply switching the activating point on the switch. An encoder wheel is attached by a shaft to the ball and has a number of slots extending from its center to its edge. The slots are rectangular in shape, and do not have edges along radial lines as in the prior art encoder wheels.

Abstract: A disc drive (100) having a digital servo system for controlling the position of a servo head (116) on a dedicated servo surface (104). The servo surface is formatted in a series of consecutive frames (152) along concentric tracks (118, 120), each frame passing the servo head in a time that defines a sampling interval for the servo system. 
     The drive is characterised in the following ways. The frames contain track address (160) and position fields (162) for locating the servo head and location can be effected in relation to limited or extended fine control regions about the tracks via signals transmitted to a position circuit (450) utilised to generate a servo position error from the position field. The position circuit generates a track phase code for checking track addresses generated by a track address circuit (444) used to generate a track address from the address field. Servo routines are carried out by a servo microcomputer (278) using control equations, stored in the servo microcomputer, having coefficients stored in a system microcomputer (262) that transmits the coefficients with command to carry out servo operations. The drive thus achieves high track density as well as an increase in servo sampling time.
