Abstract
1,142,290. Computers. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO. 23 May, 1967 [25 May, 1966], No. 23867/67. Heading G4A. A processor uses a command and address to obtain a word from memory, the word then being sent to a device specified by a portion of the word. Access to a plurality of memories by " functional units ", viz. processors and input-output-devices controllers, is via memory controllers, one for each memory. Each inputoutput-devices controller is associated with a particular memory controller, by a manual or programme-controlled switch, for data transfer, and each memory controller is similarly associated with a particular processor to receive CONNECT commands. When a memory controller accepts a CONNECT command, which is accompanied by an address, from its associated processor, decoding of this command causes the address to be used to access a word from the attached memory, and the word to be gated to one of the " functional units " above along a respective bus, as selected by (say) three bits of the word, decoded to a 1-out-ofselection. The buses may be used for other types of transfer. The 1 bit of the 1-out-of-8 selection accompanies the word. The word may be data, or it may cause generation of a second address and carrying out further operations in accordance with information stored at the second address. In the case where the destination is an input-output-devices controller the word may alternatively be a command word selecting, and causing operations within, a particular input-output-device linked to that controller. The command word may cause address generation and processing in the destination controller.
