REFERENCE
interrupt acknowledge cycle. A DTB cycle, initiated by an interrupt handler, that reads a status/ID
from an interrupter. An interrupt handler generates this cycle when it detects an interrupt request from an
interrupter and it has control of the DTB.
interrupter. A functional module that generates an interrupt request on the priority interrupt bus and
then provides states/ID information when the interrupt handler requests it.
interrupt handler. A functional module that detects interrupt requests generated by interrupters and
responds to those requests by asking for status/ID information.
interrupt service routine (ISR). A routine executed when a device interrupt occurs.
I/O space. The regions of host processor physical address space that contain the configuration registers,
device control, states registers and data registers. These regions are physically noncontiguous.
latched. Data is electrically stored in a circuit until it is needed. A method of coordinating two
synchronous events.
location monitor. A functional module that monitors data transfers over the DTB to detect accesses to
the locations it has been assigned to watch. When an access occurs to one of these assigned locations,
the location monitor generates an on-board signal.
locking a page in memory. Making a page ineligible for either paging or swapping. A page stays
locked in physical memory until the operating system specifically unlocks it.
longword. Four bytes (32 bits) of data.
loopback. A method of transmitting to the same node’s receivers for testing purposes. Applies to both
fiber optic and wire media. Also, a test tthat loops tthe outgoing signal back to its source.
master. A functional module that initiates DTB cycles to transfer data between itself and a slave
module.
message packet. See packet.
native message. A message that is received by the node of origin.
node latency. The time delay at a node before a foreign message can be retransmitted.
packet. A message that travels on the network. The minimum packet consists of 81 bits and 1 start bit.
The packet includes five fields: Source ID (8 bits), Age (8 bits), Control (3 bits), Data Address (21 bits),
Data (32 bits), and 9 parity bits; one for every 8 bits.
physical address. The address used by hardware to identify a location in physical memory or on
directly-addressable secondary storage devices (such as disks). A physical memory address consists of a
page-frame number and the number of a byte within the page.
platinum. A protocol where messages are transmitted as fast as the system will allow with error
detection enabled.
