MODULARIZED COMPUTER WITH SEPARATE MICROPROGRAM CONTROL OF ARITHMETIC-LOGICAL UNITS AND ALTERNATING PROCESSING OF SEVERAL INSTRUCTION FLOWS Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: computer engineering. SUBSTANCE: device has central processing unit, N microprogram control units, N-port read-only memory unit for microprograms, K flag registers, job setting unit. Arithmetic-logical units which belong to processor unit are controlled by independent microprograms. This results in possibility to look up operands from several priority instruction flows simultaneously. Number of sections, total bit-length these flows correspond to bit-length of operands. This results in possibility to process operands from several priority instruction flows simultaneously if unused computing resource of central processor which is rest after allocation to instruction flow with maximal priority, may be used by instruction flows of lesser priority. EFFECT: increased speed. 2 cl, 3 dwg , 2 tbl
