Provided is an information processing system which has a plurality of tags, a tag reader, a digital-pen, and a server. The plurality of tags each hold a tag identifier. The tag reader reads the tag identifier held in each of the plurality of tags. The digital-pen reads location information, which identifies a location where handwriting is made on paper. The server keeps work record including information that associates the tag identifier recorded in the server in advance with the location on paper. When it is judged that the read tag identifier and a handwriting location identified by the location information are associated with each other, the server judges whether or not the read tag identifier matches the tag identifier recorded in advance that is associated by the work record with the handwriting location identified by the location information. The server outputs a result of the judging.

Multiprocessor system, having a translation lookaside buffer (TLB) in each processor, and having a structure for avoiding TLB purge overhead. Each processor node is provided with a partial main memory and a physical page map table (PPT). The PPT stores mapping between physical page number of main memory and virtual page number. Every memory access transaction for other node specifies physical address and virtual page number. Instead of strictly maintaining TLB coherency by broadcasting TLB purge transaction, an access destination node checks the coincidence between the virtual page number specified in the memory access transaction and the virtual page number mapped in the PPT when the transaction is received. If both are coincident, the memory access is executed. If not coincident, an error message is transferred to an access requesting source.

Shared memory multiprocessor system

A shared memory multiprocessor (SMP) has efficient access to a main memory included in a particular node and a management of partitions that include the nodes. In correspondence with each page of main memory included in a node, a bit stored in a register indicates if the page has been accessed from any other node. In a case where the bit is &ldquo;0&rdquo;, a cache coherent command to be sent to the other nodes is not transmitted. The bit is reset by software at the time of initialization and memory allocation, and it is set by hardware when the page of the main memory is accessed from any other node. In a case where the interior of an SMP is divided into partitions, the main memory of each node is divided into local and shared areas, for which respectively separate addresses can be designated. In each node, the configuration information items of the shared area and the local area are stored in registers. The command of access to the shared area is multicast to all of the nodes, whereas the command is multicast only to the nodes within the corresponding partition when the local area is accessed.

Shared memory multiprocessor performing cache coherency

A symmetric multiprocessor (SMP) of hierarchical connection realizing an inter-partition shared memory has at the gateway of an inter-node connection switch from each node, a translator for translating an address of an access command for an area shared between partitions, between a real address used in a partition and a shared area address used in common between partitions. Thereby, the address of a local area of each partition is freely set, and cache coherent control of a shared area is conducted at high speed by using a snoop command of the hierarchical connection SMP. Fault containment between partitions is realized by checking conformity between the address of the access command issued from another partition and the shared area configuration. Nodes included in other partitions may be reset from each partition. In addition, the configuration information of the shared area between partitions may be dynamically modified.
