Glossary of Terms and Abbreviations
Glossary--3
Changed bit
. One of two
page history bits
found in each
page table entry
(PTE). The processor sets the changed bit if any store is performed
into the
page
.
See also
Page access history bits and Referenced bit.
Clear
. To cause a bit or bit Þeld to register a value of zero. The opposite of
set
.
Context synchronization
. An operation that ensures that all instructions in
execution complete past the point where they can produce an
exception
, that all instructions in execution complete in the context
in which they began execution, and that all subsequent instructions
are
fetched
and executed in the new context. Context synchronization
may result from executing speciÞc instructions (such as
isync
or
rÞ
)
or when certain events occur (such as an exception).
Copy-back
. An operation in which modiÞed data in a
cache block
is copied
back to memory.
Critical-data Þrst.
An aspect of
burst
accesses that allow the requested data
(typically a word or double word) in a
cache block
to be transferred
Þrst.
Denormalized number
.
A nonzero ßoating-point number whose
exponent
has a reserved value, usually the format's minimum, and whose
explicit or implicit leading signiÞcand bit is zero.
Direct-mapped cache
. A cache in which each main memory address can
appear in only one location within the cache, operates more quickly
when the memory request is a cache hit.
Direct-store. Interface available on PowerPC processors only to support
direct-store devices from the POWER architecture. When the T bit
of a segment descriptor is set, the descriptor deÞnes the region of
memory that is to be used as a direct-store segment. Note that this
facility is being phased out of the architecture and will not likely be
supported in future devices. Therefore, software should not depend
on it and new software should not use it.
Effective address (EA). The 32- or 64-bit address speciÞed for a load, store,
or an instruction fetch. This address is then submitted to the MMU
for translation to either a physical memory address or an I/O address.
Exception. A condition encountered by the processor that requires special,
supervisor-level processing.
