Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the working efficiency of an output device for CPU information by providing a mechanism to inform generation of the CPU information and a switching mechanism to perform changeover between the function of a working terminal and the function of a terminal for output of the CPU information at each specific area of the working terminal. CONSTITUTION:A CPU information output device consists of a device 33 which informs generation of the CPU information, a switching mechanism 34 for a normal working process 35 and a CPU information output process 38, and process groups 35-39 which support the device 33 and the mechanism 34. A working CRT 32 serving as a CPU information output CRT is used as an input/ output CRT of the process 35. The CPU information is detected in a detecting process 36 and informed to a worker 31 by the device 33 via the mechanism 34 and is also stored in a buffer 37. In such a way, the CPU information is informed to the worker 31 as soon as it is produced without interrupting the job carried out presently by the worker 31.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to the output function of CPU information of a computer and uses a dedicated C
The generation of CPU information is notified to the work CRT without requiring RT and without interrupting the work on the work CPT, and the CPU
The present invention relates to a device that outputs U information.

[Conventional technology]

In conventional multitasking computer systems, in order to constantly monitor CPU information that does not know when or where it will occur,
Although a terminal exclusively for outputting CPU information was installed, the redundancy of the system created by this method cannot be ignored (Related publicly known examples include JP-A No. 56-54517)
.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

As a solution to the above problem, as shown in FIG.
When CPU information is generated by the PU information generation process 15, it is immediately generated by the CPU information output process 12.
There is a method of outputting the data to the CP and notifying the worker 11, but according to this method, as shown in FIG.
The work was interrupted at the same time as the occurrence of U information 2.2, and the CP
Since the U information is output 23, there is a problem in that after checking the CPU information, it is necessary to repeat step 24 from the beginning of step 21.

An object of the present invention is to provide a CRT to a worker without the need for a dedicated CRT.
To notify the occurrence of PU information and to output CPU information without interrupting the work currently being performed on a CRT.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention solves the above problem by installing a CPU at a specific location of a work terminal.
A mechanism that notifies the generation of information, a work terminal function, and a CPU
The solution is to provide a switching mechanism that can switch the information output terminal function.

[Effect]

FIG. 4 shows the operation of the present invention, centering on FIG. 3.

This will be explained using FIGS. 5, 6, and 7. Here, FIG. 3 is a conceptual diagram of the present invention, which includes a device 33 that notifies generation of CPU information, a switching mechanism 34 that switches between the normal work process 35 and the CPU information output process 38, and a group of processes that support them. configured. Figure 4 is.

Figure 5 shows the operation of the process when CPU information is generated, Figure 5 shows the operation of the switching mechanism, Figure 6 shows the operation of the CPU information output process, and Figure 7 shows the temporal operation from the generation of CPU information to the resumption of normal work. It is something.

The working CRT 32, which also serves as a CRT for outputting CPU information, is
It is normally used as an input/output CRT for 35 working processes. On the other hand, the CPU information generated by the 39 CPU information generation process (72) is detected by the 36 CPU information detection process (41), 34 normal work, C
3 via the switching mechanism of the PU information output process
33 CPUs installed in fixed areas in 2 CRTs
Using the information generation notification device, the generation of CPU information is notified to the CPU.
Notify 31 workers with signals according to the type of information (4
3.73), 36 stores the CPU information in the buffer of 37 (45).

In addition, 34 is a CPU information output request signal, or after a certain period of time has elapsed from the generation of CPU information (51°52.74).
, provides CPU information to the worker 31 (61, 62.76) by switching between the normal work and the CPU information output process (53, 7s).

After the CPU information is output, 34 is switched back to the normal work process side and 2 can resume normal work (77
).

This allows workers to be notified of the occurrence of CPU information as soon as it occurs, to provide CPU information to workers without interrupting their current work, and to quickly return to normal work after outputting CPU information. Can be done.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. This embodiment is a working CRT that also serves as a CRT for outputting CPU information.
81, and a fixed area 82 in the CRT that notifies the operator of the occurrence of CPU information.

It consists of specific keys 83 on the keyboard that instruct the output of CPU information.

If CPU information is generated during normal work at 81, the CPU information detection process displays a sign indicating the generation of CPU information in a fixed area 82 on the CRT. The worker who learned of the occurrence of the CPU information by 82, performed the procedure to end the normal work currently being carried out by tXt83.
By pressing the key, the switching configuration is instructed to switch to the CPU information output terminal, and by switching, the CPU output by the CPU information output process is
information can be obtained.

According to this embodiment, one CRT for work and one C for outputting CPU information.
Sharing of the RT can be realized without adding a special device for disconnecting, and the cost related to this part will not increase.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, it is possible to simplify the input/output mechanism by eliminating the need for a dedicated terminal for outputting CPU information, reduce system costs, and notify the generation of CPU information without interrupting normal work on the terminal. However, it has the effect of improving work efficiency by being able to output at any timing, and improving efficiency by eliminating the need for a dedicated person to monitor CPU information.
