ABSTRACT:
A virtual memory unit (VMU) includes a state machine for controlling its operations in response to commands received from another unit. The state machine includes a plurality of programmable array logic (PAL) devices which are connected to gather status from the different sections of the unit. The outputs of the PAL devices connect in common and supply a first address input to an addressable state memory. The state memory includes a plurality of locations, each of which stores a binary code defining a different machine state. The state memory locations are accessed as a function of the status signals and current state and used in turn to generate the required subcommands for executing the received commands. The state machine makes it possible to easily classify the received commands to their complexity and urgency in terms of their effect on overall system performance.
