A multiprocessor digital data processing system comprises a plurality of processing cells arranged in a hierarchy of rings. The system selectively allocates storage and moves exclusive data copies from cell to cell in response to access requests generated by the cells. Routing elements are employed to selectively broadcast data access requests, updates and transfers on the rings.

Multiprocessor digital data processing system

A system and method for storing and retrieving information based upon a string, where the string can be encoded in one of a variety of script encodings. The script encodings can be selected from a set of relevant encodings for the particular application. The system and method are designed to allow the use of legacy information indexed by keys encoded in a single script to merge or join with additional information indexed by keys encoded in multiple additional scripts. In addition, the system and method allow the migration of information from a single national script encoding to a multiple national script encodings or a universal script encoding. The system and method are further directed to an improved domain name system that allows the creation and operation of domain names in a plurality of national encodings and further includes methods for resolving ambiguous encodings.

Multiprocessor digital data processing system/shared memory

A digital data processing apparatus has plural processing cells, each with a memory element that stores data page made up of plural subpages. At least one of the cells includes a CPU that can request access to a data subpage. A memory manager responds to selected data access requests by (i) allocating, within the memory local to the requesting CPU, exclusive physical storage space for a data page associated with the requested subpage, and (ii) storing the requested subpage in that allocated space. The apparatus recombines data pages and deallocates them on the basis of usage and access state. The apparatus also accesses data asynchronously with respect to execution of instructions by the CPU.

Shared memory multiprocessor system and method of operation thereof

A digital data processing system includes a plurality of central processor units which share and access a common memory through a memory management element. The memory management element permits, inter alia, data in the common memory to be accessed in at least two modes. In the first mode, all central processing units requesting access to a given datum residing in memory are signalled of the datum's existence. In the second mode, only selected central processing units requesting access to a resident datum are notified that it exists, while others requesting access to the datum are signalled that it does not exist. The common memory can include a plurality of independent memory elements, each coupled to and associated with, a respective one of the central processing units. A central processing unit can include a post-store element for effecting the transfer of copies of data stored in its associated memory element to a memory element associated with another central processing unit.
