A system of adding an operand address included in an instruction word to the contents of a modification register to obtain an effective address, wherein address data which designates each of a plurality of data tables constituted with prescribed storage capacity, is stored in a plurality of modification registers. Prescribed address data of one of the plurality of modification registers is selected based on the instruction word. The effective address for addressing the operand is obtained by adding the prescribed address data of the one of the plurality of modification registers to address data included in the operand address. The address data included in the operand address designates addresses which correspond to addresses of the plurality of data tables.

Operand address modification system

A communication system including a communication control unit connected through a communication line to a different system, a high-ranking processor for control of the communication control unit, and a common memory used for transfer of data between the high-ranking processor and the communication control unit. The communication control unit includes a direct memory access controller and a line controller interconnected via a transmission-only path and a reception-only path. The communication control unit autonomously generates an information frame and stores it in the common memory. The direct memory access controller then reads the information frame and transfers it to the line controller via the transmission-only path in order to transmit the information frame to the different system.
