Patent
Multiprocessor system for maintaining cache coherency by checking the coherency in the order of the transactions being issued on the bus
Craig R. Frink,William R. Bryg,Kenneth K. Chan,Thomas R. Hotchkiss,Robert D. Odineal,James B. Williams,Michael L. Ziegler +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a coherency scheme for a system having a bus, a main memory, and an access controller for accessing main memory in response to transactions received on the bus.
Patent
Cache tag system for use with multiple processors including the most recently requested processor identification
TL;DR: In this paper, the main memory controller for a shared memory multiprocessor computer system maintains a duplicate cache tag array containing current information on the status of data lines from the primary memory that are stored in the cache memories.
Patent
Queue-based predictive flow control mechanism
Michael L. Ziegler,Robert J. Brooks,William R. Bryg,Craig R. Frink,Thomas R. Hotchkiss,Robert D. Odineal,James B. Williams,John L. Wood +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a shared bus system with a bus controller and a set of client modules coupled to the bus is described, where the bus controller limits the types of transactions that can be sent on the bus to prevent any module's queue from overflowing.
Patent
Fast pipelined distributed arbitration scheme
Michael L. Ziegler,Robert J. Brooks,William R. Bryg,Kenneth K. Chan,Thomas R. Hotchkiss,Robert E. Naas,Robert D. Odineal,Brendan A. Voge,James B. Williams,John L. Wood +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a bus arbitration scheme with a plurality of client modules coupled to the bus is presented. But the bus system is not considered in this paper, and the client modules are required to generate arbitration signals when they seek to access the bus.
Patent
Queue-based predictive flow control mechanism with indirect determination of queue fullness
Michael L. Ziegler,Robert J. Brooks,William R. Bryg,Craig R. Frink,Thomas R. Hotchkiss,Robert D. Odineal,James B. Williams,John L. Wood +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a shared bus system with a bus and a set of client modules coupled to the bus is described, where a bus controller limits the types of transactions that can be sent on the bus to prevent any module's queue from overflowing.
