Title: Cache control in fault handling in address translation transactions
Inventor: CHAKRALA VISWANATH
IPC: G06F12/08
Filed: 2013-10-17
Abstract: Cache management circuitry responds to identification of the faulting transaction having a transaction terminate fault to invalidate all address translations in the cache that relate to the context of the faulting transaction. Such that a valid bit associated with each entry in the cache is set to invalid for the address translations, invalid entries being available for update and not forming part of any lookup in the cache. Alternatively, in response to identification of a transaction stall fault to set a stall indicator associated with all address translations in the cache that relate to the context of the faulting transaction. This allows a processor for processing a stream of instructions to use a hierarchical memory system having a cache, where the memory stores tables having virtual to physical address translations, to maintain access to translations for stalled operations, ready for a resume instruction, but invalidate entries where a transaction needs to be terminated.

Title: Inertial navigation system
Inventor: JOHN KEITH SHEARD
IPC: G05D1/10
Filed: 2014-10-27
Abstract: An inertial measurement system for a longitudinal projectile comprising: a first roll gyro oriented parallel to the projectile longitudinal axis and second and third gyros arranged with respect to the roll gyro to define a three dimensional coordinate system. A current projectile attitude comprising a roll angle, a pitch angle and a yaw angle is determined from the gyros. For at least two time points, the determined pitch and yaw angles are compared with expected values and a roll angle error is determined based on the difference between the determined and the expected pitch and yaw angles. A roll angle error difference and total roll angle subtended are calculated between the two time points. A roll angle scale factor error is determined based on said roll angle error difference and total subtended roll angle and is applied to the output of the roll gyro. This provides improved calibration of the roll axis rate gyro scale factor even during the high roll rate phase immediately after launch.
