Abstract

1,137,784. Memories; computers. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO. 23 May, 1967 [25 May, 1966], No. 23866/67. Headings G4A and G4C. Sections of a register in a data processing system are loaded from a memory or another source depending on the states of respective zone storage devices. "Information sources", viz. input-output-device controllers and a processor, can each communicate on a priority basis with either of two memory systems, each constituted as follows. 36-bit words in a core memory may consist of six 6-bit characters, or four 9-bit characters, or may consist of either. Each character position in a memory register is set with the correspondingly-positioned character in a word from the core memory addressed by the "information source" or from the correspondingly - positioned character in a word supplied by the "information source", depending on the settings of one or more corresponding flip-flops of a zone register controlled by the information source. The contents of the memory register are rewritten into the core memory and sent to the "information source". If the 36-bit word can only have 6-bit characters six zone flip-flops are needed, one for each character position. Similarly four zone flip-flops are needed, one for each character position. Similarly four zone flip-flops are needed in the case of 9-bit characters. If either character size is possible, eight zone flip-flops are needed. Double-length words, read-out in two stages, may be used.
