As the majority of the sports world focuses its attention on The Masters, 150 miles northeast another longstanding southern tradition is being staged.
While it's no longer held on Labor Day weekend or under the beating sun, the Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway still maintains its stature as an iconic race on the NASCAR calendar. Alongside the Daytona 500, Coca-Cola 600 (Charlotte) and Brickyard 400 (Indianapolis), Darlington is considered one of the majors. A driver's résumé is incomplete without a win on this track.
"This is one of those I guess what we would refer to as a crown jewel race," said pole-sitter Kevin Harvick, who has wins at Daytona, Charlotte and Indy but not yet at Darlington. "The one that is not sitting in our trophy case, so not only that but it's just Darlington and this is what NASCAR racing is all about. To win here would mean a lot."
What makes Darlington special is twofold.
The first is its uniqueness. When constructed in 1949, builders were not allowed to disturb a minnow pond resulting in a track that best resembles an egg: wide, sweeping turns in one end; narrow and confined in the other.
"One of the toughest race tracks physically that we race on," Dale Earnhardt Jr. said. "Five hundred miles here is a really long race because the track is quite a big race track and the pace slows down. You are working so hard in the corner so just one lap around here is a lot of work. To have to run 500 miles it's a pretty tough test of man and machine."
It is this distinctiveness which leads to the second facet of why the track known as "Too Tough to Tame" maintains its allure. The design has created a track as difficult as any in NASCAR where great wheelmen are rewarded and fluke winners are uncommon.
Of the 43 drivers in Saturday's field, only six have paid a visit to Darlington's Victory Lane. And for those who have yet to tame the "Lady in Black," a Darlington win is hungrily sought. Among the top names still in search of their maiden Southern 500 victory include Harvick, Earnhardt, Tony Stewart, Carl Edwards, Brad Keselowski and Kurt Busch.
It's no surprise then that Darlington is often unkind to those lacking experience. A characteristic that again proved true in practice Friday when rookies Kyle Larson, Austin Dillon and Alex Bowman each encountered trouble.
But it was Larson who came out the worst for the wear, body-slamming the Turn 2 wall and sustaining enough damage that he will be in a backup car Saturday night. He also wrecked his Nationwide Series car Friday during qualifying.
"Both ends are so different," Larson said. "Turns 1 and 2 are a lot faster corner and then the exit slows up a lot. I drilled the wall off Turn 2 earlier today, as well as a couple of people did. I need to get better to just get around the track faster."
Larson isn't the first nor will he be the last who is mystified by Darlington; an all too common occurrence which likely will transpire many times Saturday night.
To make things all the more confounding for drivers, the Southern 500 begins under sunlight and finishes under the stars. Combine those elements with a surface that chews up tires and Darlington is unlike anywhere else in NASCAR.
"To be able to win here in any kind of race, any kind of car, any conditions and certainly the Southern 500 is I think special, said defending winner Matt Kenseth. "I think you could ask anybody and they would tell you that. In my mind that's one of the biggest races of the year and you always want to come here and try to run good."

Asana of the Week: (Little) Mountains
Asana of the Week: (Little) Mountains
Asana of the Week: Mountain
Austrailia, Sydney
The Utkatasana (Chair Pose) is very common and has many benefits. See below:
Step by Step
1. Stand in Tadasana. Inhale and raise your arms perpendicular to the floor. Keep the arms parallel, palms facing inward or join the palms.
2. Exhale and bend your knees. Try to take the thighs as nearly parallel to the floor as possible. The knees will project out over your feet and the torso will lean slightly forward over the thighs, until the front torso forms approximately a right angle with the tops of the thighs. Keep your inner thighs parallel to each other and press the heads of the thigh bones down toward the heels.
3. Firm your shoulder blades against the back. Take your tailbone down toward the floor and in toward your pubis to keep the lower back long.
4. Stay like this for 30 seconds to a minute. To come out of this pose straighten your knees breathing in, lifting strongly through the arms. Exhale and release your arms to your sides into Tadasna.

JERUSALEM: The Israeli army said on Monday that it still has many missions to carry out in Gaza despite destroying all of the known tunnels militants use to attack its territory.
"We will not leave; we will stay in the Gaza Strip; there are many more missions to complete," army spokesman Moti Almoz said on Channel 2 television.
"All of the tunnels we have located have been destroyed," he said, adding however that "talking about the end of the mission against the tunnels doesn't mean talking about an end to the Gaza mission."
Israel launched the military operation against rocket-firing militants in Gaza on July 8, and nine days later it sent ground troops into the enclave to destroy a network of tunnels militants use to attack its territory.

Stayed here for one night with my husband. The hotel was clean, newly decorated and nice and quiet. We got the room for a good price so can't really complain. I did however find the mattress quite uncomfortable and the quilt was very thin so I had to put a top on over my nightdress and switch on the heater. The pillows were lovely and we had a choice of soft or firm which was a nice touch. Bathroom had a shower only which was lovely and spacious and powerful. Breakfast was included and was lovely but limited choice but then again we paid such a low price we were more than happy.

We have stayed here three times before so thought we'd try somewhere different in half moon bay....what a huge mistake! We were there for half an hour and walked out. Im not going to name names, but it was an old inn on Main Street... We got there a bit early but weren't allowed to check in, so had to wait...then were advised the TV wasn't working but we could watch a movie...on VHS!! We thought..ok we can handle that, I was going to use my ipad to watch TV.....Wrong! their wifi wasnt working properly, that was the last straw. My husband went down to tell the owner we were leaving and he copped an attitude.... I was so shaken and upset.... We drove to Landis on the off chance they had a vacancy....thank God they did.
It's so comfortable here, they make you feel welcome and have everything you need. The wifi works, they have flat screen tv and not VHS but DVD so we can go to redbox and rent a movie if we want... We didn't have that option at the last place!
I am now sitting on my balcony drinking a glass a good Merlot, listening to the ocean and watching the sunset, my shattered nerves calming down.
Lesson learned...... Should have booked here in the first place!

Erickson walks the talk
SALT LAKE CITY — Dennis Erickson is on the job, sporting a new hip and Utah football gear.
The 65-year-old coach, who was lured out of retirement to become Utah's co-offensive coordinator, met with the media Wednesday afternoon — exactly two weeks after having hip replacement surgery.
Erickson was proud that he was able to walk to the gathering, even stepping up to the podium.
"I told my wife I am not going to the University of Utah with a cane. I'm not sending that message to those players," said Erickson, who endured some extensive physical therapy before leaving Arizona for Utah. "If I have to crawl, I'm crawling in here."
Erickson went on to say he liked the colors he was now sporting. He wore a red UnderArmour jacket with a Ute logo on it.
"I think it looks pretty good on me," Erickson said in the midst of answering questions on a variety of topics, ranging from his national championship teams at Miami to his plans at Utah.
Erickson, who coached the Hurricanes to a pair of national championships, noted he was here to help Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham be successful and help the group offensively.
Whittingham's blueprint, he explained, is to score touchdowns. Erickson said the Utes will operate out of the shotgun most of the time, run some read option and spread defenses out. They'll pick up the pace, control the tempo and utilize a no-huddle scheme.
"We all believe in the same thing," Erickson said of his meetings with the offensive staff. "It's just a matter of all being on the same page and all knowing what we want to get done. All of us have the same goal to do it and just get better on offense."
As for playcalling, Erickson joked that be had a pretty good track record as of late. He said he called all the touchdowns for his teams over the past five years.
Erickson went on to praise co-offensive coordinator Brian Johnson, expressing hope that they could learn from one another.
"Brian Johnson is a superstar in our business," Erickson said. "He really is."
Utah athletics director Chris Hill attended the press conference and referenced comments that Whittingham made when announcing the hiring earlier this month. Whittingham said that Erickson "brings a wealth of knowledge and coaching experience" to the Utes.
"I think it's exciting. Kyle probably said it all but it brings us some experience, a nice match and somebody that really has a lot of knowledge of the league, too," Hill noted. "And a track record of having a lot of winning in his back pocket."
Erickson's extensive coaching career includes head coaching stints at Idaho (1982-85, 2006), Wyoming (1986), Washington State (1987-88), Miami (1989-94) and Arizona State (2007-11) in the college ranks, as well as NFL stops with the Seattle Seahawks (1995-98) and San Francisco 49ers (2003-04).

A 16-year-old Milwaukee girl and a 20-year-old Milwaukee woman were arrested in a theft attempt that reportedly involved 42 pairs of underwear, clothes and accessories at the Wauwatosa Target on Aug. 29.
According to the police report:
The suspects, including one who had brought along her infant child, entered the store with two large bags and wandered around, stuffing items in them. The items - which included at least five pairs of bras, multiple pairs of panties, several bracelets and some clothing items - were valued at a total of $710.
One of the women put items into her bag in front of the loss prevention officer, who was later assisted by Wauwatosa police in detaining the suspects, who were arrested without incident.

Chicago Athletic Association Hotel is Open For Business
Just a few weeks ago, a (not-so) little slice of Chicago swung open its doors to show the entire city how cool a vintage athletic facility-turned-hotel can be. Housed in a pretty ornate building on South Michigan Avenue, the Chicago Athletic Association calls upon the 120- year history of being the place to swim, play basketball, fence or catch a few laps on the running track as well as making for one of the neatest hotels we've checked out.
We had an opportunity to explore the finished product of the massive project of transforming this landmark into a lifestyle hotel that might even attract the folks that used its facilities decade before.

Virgin Hotels Unveil Their Spa Concept at The Virgin Chicago
Virgin Hotel Chicago is the hotel that keeps on, er, hotel-ing. Not long after opening its rooftop extravaganza and its spunky diner concept, the Virgin has now unveiled its five-treatment room spa, simply called The Spa at Virgin Hotels. (We think Spa Virgin would have worked just as well. #thatjustus.)
Geared towards "business travelers and busy locals", the spa treatments are completely customizable from the amount of time of the treatment (30, 45 or 60 minutes) to the primary focus (anti-aging, sore legs, manscaping, etc.)
The menu features both massages and body treatments as well as facials, nail services and waxing (the latter two are called "Nailed" and "Stripped", FTW.) The Spa also features a unisex hamman for which day passes to this can be purchased for $15.
With Red Flower's Palo Santo toiletries in the guest rooms, it's no surprise that there are Red Flower products and specialty scents are used in the massages, body treatments, nail services and some facials. Massages start at $55 and go up to $120. Meanwhile, EmerginC (not to be confused with the powdered vitamins you add to water) and their scientific organic products are used in most of the facials including the 60-minute Peel and Glow ($120) and the 30-minute Be Glowing mini-facial ($55.)

Conrad Will Come Back to Chi-Town
This is a bit of a pattern: day one, a brand's exit from a certain market is announced. The clock starts ticking, and by day two or three, re-entry – in something newer, bolder, shinier – follows. So it was with Four Seasons in Bangkok, and now the same happens for Conrad Hotels in Chicago.

· Fresh off opening their New York property, EDITION Hotels will open next year in Sanya, China; Thailand and Abu Dhabi with Shanghai and Times Square to happen in 2017 and West Hollywood in 2018. Paris has inexplicably dropped off the website although Edition folk say it is still happening. Also happening that's not yet listed? The Reijavkik Edition in Iceland. We cannot wait. [Source: Edition Hotels website]
· The 342-room JW Marriott Minneapolis, which will have direct access to the Mall of America, is set to open in November. However, the website is accepting reservations right now for stays from January 1, 2016 and beyond. [Source: JW Marriott Hotels]
· A tipster wrote into tell us that the W Retreat Kanai in Riviera Maya, Mexico, which last we heard was opening in July 2015, is now opening in January 2018, according to the W Hotels website. Yup, that seems about right for W Hotels. [Source: Tipster and W Hotels]
· After announcing a Hilton Garden Inn for Hawaii, Hilton is now going to install their DoubleTree by Hilton brand in the iconic Hilo Naniloa Hotel and Golf Club on the Big Island. The hotel is currently closed as it goes under a $16 million renovation. It should reopen as DoubleTree later this year. [Source: Pacific Business News]

This Baby Gorilla Has Never Looked Cuter, Thanks to a Hilton Hotel
What's better than a photo of a baby gorilla? A photo of a baby gorilla playing on linens donated by a hotel to a local zoo.
That's exactly what the Hilton Chicago/Oak Brook Hills Resort & Conference Center has done for the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago. Above is toddler gorilla, Nayembi, playing on a blanket donated by the hotel to the zoo for the western lowland gorilla exhibit. The momma gorillas at the zoo use the blankets as nesting materials, while the toddler gorillas use them for playing, which keep them stimulated and active.
But these aren't old discarded linens. These are the same table linens and blankets that hotel guests use. Nothing but the finest for baby gorillas!
We reached out to the Hilton's director of sales and marketing, Nathan Karsten, and asked him about how this donation effort came about. Here's what he told us:
"We work with our local humane societies, and based on the amount we had to donate we knew we needed a larger organization, said Karsten. "We reached out to the zoo to see if there was an interest and there sure was. Again, we are just so happy to help out."
And we are just so happy to keep looking at this photo. Thanks, Hilton!

The Newest AC Hotel by Marriott Will Open in Chicago on June 5
Chicago is often referred to as the Second City, but according to AC Hotels by Marriott, the Midwestern mecca is actually the fifth city; the fifth U.S. city to get their newest property geared towards millennials and their travel needs.
Planning to officially open its doors on June 5 on Rush Street, the AC Hotel Chicago is just completing the finishing touches to the well-connected rooms and public areas. (Remember, this was previously the Four Points by Sheraton.) With free WiFi throughout the hotel, guests will be not have to think twice when Instagraming pics, updating their status or sending out a few last emails before exploring the River North area of the city.

Chicago's Hotel Burnham Gets a Facelift
A true icon in Chicago's hotel scene, Hotel Burnham has at last given its guest rooms and its equally iconic restaurant, Atwood, a contemporary new look. This is the first time since 1999 the hotel has seen a refresh, replacing classic turn of the century decor with a more modern style.
As one of the America's first skyscrapers, the hotel retained its history as an architectural wonder by using rich woods and sophisticated colors in each of the 122 guest rooms, with bright artwork added to give it some whimsy. The rooms still feature usual Kimpton touches like Frette Linens, a stocked mini-bar and the in-room yoga mat for getting your chi on.

What It's Like Up On The Virgin Hotel Rooftop in Chicago
Chicago's rooftop bar season is right around the corner, so we're extremely excited to add a new destination on our list of late night libations multiple stories above the hustle and bustle of the streets.
As promised, The Virgin Hotel has opened the Windy City's newest destination for bird's eye drinks and nibbles with Cerise.
Remember a few weeks ago when we got a little inside scoop on the rooftop menu? Well, with two very different bars serving up summer sips with Far East flavors, the ride to the 26th floor of this vintage building will be well worth the wait. An equally Asian-inspired lite bites menu features anything from oysters and spring rolls to two different types of dumplings. (Trust us, do NOT pass on the dumplings)

Come May, Chicago's Hotel Allegro Will Be Singing a Pretty New Tune
One of Chicago's very first trendy boutique hotels is getting a bit of a facelift as they look to celebrate their 17th birthday this year. In the heart of the theater district, Hotel Allegro is planning to unveil a bit of drama in May with renovated rooms, a completely new lobby with communal lobby bar and enhance public "chill" space.
In a grand to attempt to reconnect with the building's 91 years of history, the Kimpton property is is embracing an art deco design for all areas of the hotel. From being greeted by a glimmering flapper girl painting and original light fixtures in the lobby to a sleeker and more cosmopolitan styling for the rooms, we were giddy with excitement on a recent hard hat tour.

InterContinental Chicago's Historic Tower Has Been Promoted, and Upgraded, to 'Executive'
We love hotel renovations nearly just as much as we love new hotels. But what we really love about hotel renovations is seeing the transformation that happens when an old, tired and lackluster room gets a modern makeover and transforms into new, spiffed-up, stylish guest room. Or put more simply, we love comparing the Before and After.
The InterContinental Chicago Magnificent Mile earlier this month completed a $13 million renovation of the Michigan Avenue hotel's Historic Tower, now officially renamed the Executive Tower (presumably because it looka shiny new, no longer "historic.")
And they accomplished it in record time! Beginning in January 2015, the hotel refurbished 315 guest rooms and corridors in the tower. Above is how the rooms looked before. Now a peek at the after:

Confessions of Hotel Bartender, Vol 7: A Cheeky Drink at Virgin Chicago
A few weeks ago we stopped by Virgin Chicago to sample some food in their all-day dining outlet, Miss Ricky's and ended upstairs at the Commons Club to partake in an adult libation from the cheeky bar menu.
After bellying up to the bar, we had chance to bend the ear of the head bartender, Jon Harris about what the drinks we were sipping and his thoughts on the industry.
This Chicago native has spent some time mixing cocktails from DC to London and back to the Windy City. Shaking some of the hottest drinks in DC's first cocktail bar, The Gibson, Jon eventually landed the job at the Virgin and started putting together the back bar well before the hotel swung it's doors open to guests.

While Vasquez works brilliantly with extreme dynamics, his forte is the sort of explosiveness rock fans associate with the show-closing crescendo -- that moment when a drummer plays full tilt, a rhythm guitarist strums with vigor and the lead guitarist chases every lead imaginable. Vasquez takes that physical abandon as a starting point and shows where the moment might go from there. More bone-rattling than bombastic, this expansive vision transforms into a cohesive whole.
Along this route he finds the heart of apparently slight offerings such as Nomad's "With You" and transforms them into near-tragic epics. His album-ending remix of Jocelyn Brown and Ministers De-La-Funk's "Believe" is the masterstroke. "Believe" might sound like just another disco motivational number, but Vasquez places great faith in the nuances of Jocelyn Brown's vocal, and her gospel attack is matched by swelling tension that never lets up, even when the layers are stripped away and rebuilt. The Who never closed a set with more forcefulness than this prayerful explosion.

A system for sharing several memory modules by several processors on a common bus uses a protocol in which, after a processor gains access to a memory module read or write data is transferred on the bus within a preset number of system clock periods. After priority is established by polling, the processor sends memory address on the common bus. For each operation several idle system clock periods are provided before data is returned from the memory to permit the memory to retrieve the data. Meanwhile, the protocol interleaves requests for access to other memory modules from other processors thereby increasing the throughput of the system.
1. A method for providing asynchronous processors with inter-processor communication and access to several memory modules over a common bus which includes a first bus and a second bus, comprising:
providing clock pulses on said common bus, each pulse having a period;
asserting a request signal and placing priority signal on said common bus during a first period when any one of said processors performs an operation that requires access to the memory module;
polling the processors during said first period to determine whether the processors request access to said common bus and to determine which one processor has priority;
sending a destination address from said one processor to a destination during a second period, said destination being chosen from said processors and said several memory modules;
performing one of reading input data between said destination and said processor having priority during a reading input data period and writing output data between said processor having priority and said destination during a writing output data period, said reading period being separated from said second period by a plurality of idle periods during which a second processor accesses a second destination on said common bus;
multiplexing priority and reading input data signals on said first bus, and multiplexing address and writing output data signals on said second bus;
generating poll inhibit signals prior to each reading input data signal and prior to each memory address signal preceeding a writing output data operation; and
queuing said input data in a first-in-first-out manner for each of said processors when said input data indicates an interprocessor interrupt.
1. Field of Invention
This invention pertains to a protocol and a system for accessing one or more common memories over a common bus, and more particularly, to a common memory sharing system having a plurality of data processors, such as the type wherein each processor being provided to exchange data with an external computer or other data processing equipment.
2. Description of the Prior Art
It is frequently desirable for several data processors to exchange information through a common memory. (In this application the term "data processors" or "processors" refers to single chip microprocessors such as the common Z8000, or other similar devices) so that each can run in an asynchronous mode, i.e. independently of the others. For example, a high speed main frame computer may be tied to its peripherals and/or other main frame computer through a multi-processor system with separate processors being dedicated to the main frame or one of the peripherals. These processors enable data exchange between the various devices even though each may have its own coding scheme, and timing or protocol requirements. The microprocessors can be tied together through a set of common memories. However, most prior art configurations were rather slow because each program had to request access to one of the memories through a single memory control system, and then wait for an indetermined period until actual access for either a data reading or data writing operation was allowed.
In view of the above, a principal objective of the present invention is to provide a system with a protocol in which any processor is allowed access to a selected memory after a preset time frame, so that the processor can perform other tasks after it has completed its access request. Another objective is to provide a system with a protocol which does not require complicated polling schemes or centralized priority arbitration circuits to determine the relative priorities between several processors requesting simultaneous access to the separate memories.
Another objective is to provide a system with a protocol which allows rapid simultaneous access to several memories over a single bus.
Yet another objective is to provide a system which is flexible so that the number of processors and memories can be expanded without extensive modifications.
Other objectives and advantages of the system shall become apparent from the following description of the invention.
In accordance with the present invention a multi-processor shared memory system comprises a plurality of processors tied to a common bus by corresponding bus interface circuits, and a plurality of common memories tied to the common bus.
The common bus represents the physical path by which each processor communicates with any other processor in the same system. One or more high-speed common memories form an integral part of the multiprocessor communication scheme and no data may be passed directly from one processor to another, but must be temporarily stored in common memory between transfers.
The protocol for the system is defined as the interaction between processors, each of which are capable of initiating bus cycles, and the common memory modules, which respond to most of the bus cycles. To obviate the need for extensive use of software polling to synchronize control between processors, an interprocessor interrupt means is also defined.
The common bus interface includes circuitry to generate and check parity on transfers of both address and data, and a means to allow the common memory to interrupt any processor experiencing a double-bit error during a common memory access.
In order to achieve a high aggregate throughput rate for the common bus a means of overlapping the memory cycles is defined. This technique, commonly termed interleaving, results in a reduced average effective memory cycle time over a non-interleaved approach without requiring faster access memory components. In order to implement interleaved memory cycles on the common bus, a synchronous timing scheme is used. This defines a convention of timing states controlling the proper sequencing of overlapped memory cycles.
When two or more processors request the same memory module simultaneously, a priority phase or clock period is used to determine which requesting processor has priority. If however, two processors request two different memory modules (within the same clock period) both will be allowed to access the targeted memory modules with overlapping cycles. In order to prevent an in-phase collision on the bus, the priority clock period determines which processor is allowed to start a memory cycle first. As shall be described in more detail below, the system has been designed with four memory modules and sixteen processes, however these numbers are not critical. With four memory modules and four or more processors demanding the common bus, the possibilities for interleaving are such that for any given clock cycle up to four processors may each have an active memory cycle present on the common bus. Thus, any 2, 3, or 4 processors which are making block transfers out of separate memory modules will have greatly reduced contention compared to a single memory resource, without the need for a multi-ported memory system.
Implementation of an interleaved common bus requires a system clock for synchronous operation. The system clock has no relationship to the local oscillators for each processor in the system. Therefore each processor runs asynchronously with respect to the common bus and only its bus interface circuit requires synchronization to the system clock.
The common bus consists of two information-handling bi-directional buses. The first of these is the priority and read data bus. This is a multiplexed bus that carries priority polling information during one clock period of a common bus cycle, and read data during another period if the operation is a READ from memory. This bus also has an additional function during interprocessor interrupt periods that is described below. The second bus is the memory address and write data bus. This is also a multiplexed bus that carries memory addressing information during one clock period of a common bus cycle, and carries write data during another period if the operation is a WRITE to memory.
When a processor performs an operation that requires access to the common memory, the common bus interface, if conditions permit, asserts a request signal for the appropriate memory module. Together with the request, a priority bit will be placed on the read data bus in the bit position corresponding to the user number of the processor module.
If any other processors are requesting a bus cycle priority is determined in the first clock period. Those processors which lose the priority poll will maintain their request on the bus until they are serviced or reset in some manner. As part of the priority period, the processor acquiring priority must drive the memory module busy signal to select the addressed module and in the same clock period place a function code on the bus indicating to the selected memory module the operation to be performed. Once selected at the end of the priority polling period, the memory module assumes control of the module busy signal for all subsequent clock cycles of the data transfer.
If a processor module wins the priority poll, the next clock period will be an address period whereby the processor module places the memory address and an overall parity bit on the memory address/write data bus. Since another processor module may make a bus request during the address period, the winning processor module must remove his request, priority bit, and function code from the bus at the end of the polling period.
Beginning with the address phase, the common bus interface follows a strict sequence of states. If the operation is a write cycle, the interface places write data on the address/write data bus along with a complying parity bit during the next clock period. If the operation is not a write cycle then the address/write data bus is not driven during the write data period.
The next two clock periods are null periods to the processor's common bus interface. If the operation was a write cycle, then the last clock period is also be a null period. In the case that the operation requested by the processor module is a read operation, during the last period the common bus interface accepts 16 bits of data from the accessed memory module along with an overall parity bit generated by the memory module.
In summary, access to a memory module requires six consecutive clock periods as follows:
1. Request/priority poll
2. Address
3. Write data, (if write cycle)
4. Null state
5. Null state
6. Read data, (if read cycle)
In order to eliminate the possibility of lockout of a low priority processor by two or more higher priority processor modules, a condition is placed on the assertion of the memory module request signal. A processor module is not permitted to assert a memory module request if that memory module is being requested by another processor at the beginning of the clock period. This means that the only time that more than one processor will contend for the same memory module is when all requests for that module appear during the same clock period. Thus all outstanding requests for a memory module will be served in order of priority before any processor is permitted to assert another request for that memory module.
Two separate rules govern whether a processor that is requesting a memory module may take part in the priority poll. First, no processor may participate in a priority poll if the poll inhibit signal is asserted at the beginning of the clock cycle. This signal is present to prevent the conflicting usage of the multiplexed data buses and is generated by either a processor module during the memory address phase of a write memory operation or by a memory module during the read data phase of a read operation.
Second, if the memory module being requested by a processor module is busy during the clock period in which a priority poll is taking place, then the requesting processor will not participate in the poll. Obviously, this prevents the case where a higher priority processor requesting a busy memory wins the priority poll over a lower priority processor requesting an unbusy memory module, in which case both processors would wait for the busy memory module to become free.
Each processor module has the capability to cause an interrupt on any processor in the system via the common bus. (With the Z8000 processor, this interrupt will manifest itself as a non-vectored, maskable interrupt.)
It is inevitable that two or more processors will attempt to transmit an interprocessor interrupt to the same processor within the span of time that the target processor is able to acknowledge the first arrival. To prevent loss of subsequent interrupts, a first-in, first-out (FIFO) queue is designed in the common bus interface. This FIFO is deep enough to store one interprocessor, non-vectored interrupt from each processor in the system. To prevent overflowing the FIFO, the operating system of each processor sending an inter-processor interrupt is not allowed more than one un-acknowledged interrupt to be sent to each processor module. Since there exists only one source for non-maskable interrupts and local reset commands, a FIFO is not required for these interprocessor interrupt types.
Interprocessor non-vectored interrupts may be performed by any processor by executing the appropriate output operation. The data contained in the 16-bit output will indicate which processor modules will be interrupted, for each "one" in the data word the processor in the slot corresponding to that bit position will receive a non-vectored interrupt.
All types of interrupts produce a bus cycle on the common bus similar to a common memory cycle described above. However, the bus interface instead assert an interrupt busy signal on the common bus rather than a memory busy at the end of a normal polling period. The interrupt busy signal alerts all processor modules that an interrupt cycle to a specified set of processors has begun. In addition, at the end of the polling period all processor modules temporarily latch the binary encoded slot number of the processor winning the poll along with the type of interrupt as indicated by the function code. In the case of interprocessor interrupts, each type of interrupt is represented by a separate bit in the 3-bit function code put on the bus by the interrupting processor module.
During the last phase of the interrupt cycle, in what is normally the read data phase of a memory cycle, the interrupting processor's bus interface drives the read data bus with the output instruction's data. Each bit on the read data bus that is set will cause an interrupt to occur on the processor module possessing a user number matching the position of that bit.
Parity bits may be added to the common bus address and data bits to insure the integrity and reliability of the system.

FIG. 2 shows a block diagram for the shared memory system of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 shows details of the common bus and microprocessor bus interface for the shared memory system of FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 shows a memory module and its bus interface for the shared memory system of FIG. 1;
FIG. 5 shows the timing diagram for a processor accessing a common memory module in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 6 shows the timing diagram for two processors accessing two common memory modules in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 7 shows the timing diagram for three processors accessing two common memory modules in accordance with the present invention; and
FIG. 8 shows the timing diagram for two processors accessing two common memory modules, one of which modules is initially busy, in accordance to the present invention.
Referring now to FIG. 1 which shows two main frame computers 10 and 20, each having peripherals 12, 14, 16 and 22, 24, 26 respectively. The main frame computers exchange information through the use of two memory sharing systems 18 and 28 respectively. In addition, information may be exchanged between the two memory sharing systems over a standard communication channel 30 so that any device of FIG. 1 is able to exchange information with any other device.
As shown in more detail in FIG. 2, a memory sharing system (such as system 18) comprises a plurality of microprocessors 32 and memory modules 34 tied to a common bus 36 by corresponding bus interfaces 38, 40. For example, for the configuration of FIG. 1 four microprocessors 32 are required. The number of memory modules 34 depends on the particular application. In FIG. 2 four modules are shown. The microprocessors may be provided with output interface circuits 42 for connecting the microprocessor to the corresponding main frame computer or peripheral if required.
A system clock 44 provides clocking signals for the common bus 36.
A typical microprocessor 32 and its microprocessor bus interface, together with the common bus 36 are shown in FIG. 3. It should be understood that while in this Figure, bus 36 has been functionally partitioned into several control and/or data buses, it should be understood that each of these buses is capable of bi-directional transfer of several binary bits in parallel.
As shown in FIG. 3, the common bus 36 comprises a system clock bus 50, receiving clock signals from clock 44 (of FIG. 2). A group of preselected clock signal periods are used to initiate and complete each operation on the common bus. For example, for the number of processors and memory modules described above, six clock periods are required to provide access to a memory module, or an interprocessor interrupt.
The memory request bus 52 indicates when any one of the processors 32 requested access to a particular memory module 34. Bus 54 indicates when each memory module is busy. Bus 56 is the function bus while bus 58 is the poll inhibit bus. Bus 60 is the first multiplexed bus used for both the priority and read data signals.
Bus 62 is the second multiplexed bus used for both memory address and write data signals.
The actual components of the processor bus interface 38 and memory interface 40 are best described in conjunction with an operational cycle. FIG. 5 shows a relatively simple operation wherein a single processor 32 gains access to one of the memory modules 34 i.e. memory 0 and reads or writes data. As previously mentioned this operation takes six clock periods. During the first period microprocessor 32 activates the memory request time for memory 0 through the bus request/busy circuit and at the same time it queries the priority bits on bus 60 through the priority sense circuit 66. Each microprocessor is assigned a priority bit on bus 60 as well as a priority order. Thus during the first period, the processor 32 continuously monitors the priority bus and if it senses no other higher priority bits, or that is, if its own priority order is higher than the priority of other processors requesting access to the common bus, then it activates the appropriate bit in priority bus 60 through circuit 64. If the processor looses the priority poll during the first clock period it maintains the request bus engaged.
Also during the first period, the processor sends a function control message (i.e. read or write) on bus 56 through interface timing and control circuit 68. However if the processor looses the poll, the control message is deactivated.
If the processor wins the priority poll in the first period then in the second period the processor releases the memory request for memory 0 and activates the busy line for memory 0 through circuit 64. (Alternately, the busy line for memory 0 may be released at the end of the first period by the processor but maintained activated by the memory module for the remainder of the memory access cycle). The processor also sends a memory address to the memory address line 62 through a memory address register 70.
If processor 32 wants to write data into memory 0 then during the first period a "write" control signal is sent to function bus 56 and the poll inhibit bus 58 is activated during the first clock period. If a "read" operation is required than the control signal during the first period corresponds to a "read" command. For a "read" operation periods 3 and 4 are idle (except for the memory 0 busy line). On the fifth period the poll inhibit line 58 is activated to insure that no other processor will gain access to the priority/read bus 62 and on the sixth clock period data from the memory 0 is sent on bus 60 and is received by processor 32 through read data register 72. Simultaneously, on function bus 56 a "read status" signal is received from the memory through interface timing and control 68 to confirm that data is correctly read from the memory.
During the sixth period, the processor (or the memory module as described above) also releases the memory 0 busy time so that another request may be processed during the seventh period.
As shown in FIG. 4, each memory interface unit 40 comprises a memory timing and control circuit 74. This circuit is enabled by signal from the memory request 52 indicating that the particular memory unit 34 is to participate in the next operational cycle. During the first operational cycle, circuit 74 receives a "read" or "write" command from function bus 56. During the second period the address within the memory at which the operation is to take place, is received from bus 62. During the third period data from bus 62 is written (during a "write" operation) into the memory through write register 74. Finally, during the sixth period, data is read from the memory (during a "read" operation) through read register 78 to bus 60 and simultaneously a "read status" signal is sent to the function bus 56 by control circuit 74.
A slightly more complicated occurrence is illustrated in FIG. 6. In this Figure two processors A and B request access to two different memories 0 and 1 respectively during the first clock period, with A desiring a "write" operation and B desiring a "read" operation. Processor A wins the priority poll during the first period and gains access to memory 0. Therefore, memory 0 is busy from the second through the sixth period. During the second period A writes a memory address for memory 0 on bus 62. Since A desires a "write" operation the poll inhibit line is activated during the first period in order to prevent processor B from conducting a priority poll during the second period resulting in a memory address in the third period that would collide with the WRITE data from processor A. During the third period, A writes data on bus 62 while B gets priority and access to memory 1. Memory 1 is busy during the fourth through eighth periods. During the sixth period processor A releases memory 0. During the seventh period B activates the poll inhibit bus and during the eighth period B reads data form bus 60 and releases memory 1.
In FIG. 7 processor A wants to gain access to memory 0 to write data, processor B wants to read data from memory 1 and processor C wants to read data from memory 0 simultaneously, with A having the top priority and B having priority over C. A comparison of FIGS. 7 and 6 shows that processor A and B perform identically. Since processor A has priority over C and memory 0 is busy until the seventh period, C gains access only in the seventh period.
In FIG. 8, processors A and B try to gain access to memories 0 and 1 (as in FIG. 4) except that a previous processor X has already gained access to memory 0 for a WRITE operation. In periods 1 and 2 processor X writes the memory address and data on bus 62 and the poll inhibit bus is activated. Memory 0 remains busy until the sixth period. Meanwhile during the third period processor B gains access to memory 1 even though processor A has a higher priority on the bus. During the fourth period B writes the memory address on bus 62 and during the eighth period it reads the data from bus 60. Processor A finally gains access to memory 0 during the sixth period and gets to read the data during the eleventh period.
As previously mentioned, any processor may interrupt any other processor. For this purpose, the processor interface 38 includes an interprocessor interrupt circuit 80 which is used to send an interrupt command to another processor through a command latch 82 and function bus 56. Incoming interprocessor interrupts are recognized by the priority sense circuit 66 and sent in chronological order through a first-in/first-out register 84 to the interrupt circuit 80 and processor 32 as shown.
It can be seen from the above description that for writing data, once a processor gets access to a memory module, it provides sequentially the memory address and the data and then releases the memory module. For reading data, after the memory address is provided, three clock periods go by before the data is read from the memory to give the memory module time to retrieve the data. Thus high speed memory modules are not required. During these idle periods the processor requesting the data can perform other functions because the exact time when the data becomes available is known before hand. Meanwhile, the common bus can be used by other processors through the interleaving protocol described above.
Obviously, numerous modifications may be made to the system and protocol including various other interleaving schemes described herein without departing from the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.

UPDATE: GOP leaders consider ways to move on without Dems
INDIANAPOLIS - Update:
Republican leaders are considering ways to continue Statehouse business without the presence of minority House Democrats, who remain in Illinois protesting GOP-backed bills they oppose.
Republican Senate Appropriations Chairman Luke Kenley of Noblesville says he may start holding budget hearings next week even though the actual budget bill is caught in the House impasse. He says he'll make a decision about hearings at the end of this week if Democrats don't return.
Republican Gov. Mitch Daniels says it makes sense for lawmakers to do as much work as they can without the House Democrats, who didn't return Tuesday morning when the House again tried to convene.
Democrats say they'll stay out until Republicans agree to change their proposals, but Republicans say they won't be bullied into dropping their agenda.
Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels says Republicans will not be bullied by minority House Democrats who remained in Illinois on Tuesday boycotting proposals they oppose.
Daniels told reporters that it would be a shame if Democrats deny the House the quorum it needs to do business past the end of the session April 29. But he says Republicans won't be bulled, and recommended that lawmakers not book any summer travel plans. He says they must eventually deal with the issues.
One Democrat said Monday the caucus would stay out as long as needed to get changes made to proposals they oppose, even if that means a prolonged boycott that could cause a government shutdown in July.
Democrats didn't return Tuesday morning when the House again tried to convene.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. The Twist is a collection of Gen-Factor rejects and orphans in selective numbers who were abducted or ran away from persecutive backlash to form a Manson Family styled cult or "family" engaged in degeneracy and crime. The original members consisted of Virginia Dentata, Texas, Smoking Boy, Blind Lemon, and their leader Menlove as well as selectively abducted and mentally impaired youths imprisoned in a basement.Menlove was a prior I.O. operative and analyst of select Gen-Factor children he chose to relocate to enslave to his own warped revolutionary ideals that were less than rape and murder of innocents. The Gen-Factor Twist members: Virginia Dentata, a woman with a porous mouth and teeth to her stomach; Smoking Boy is a hyperkinetic pyrotic of chaffed skin and a crack habit; Texas is a cowboy who has invulnerable skin; and Blind Lemon, the more moral member, is a precognate who suffers some difficulties to her future flashes and memory.The Deviants were summoned to acquire means of investigating a ritual murder of a family in Los Angeles in the accompany of their security officer Sideways Bob. Afterwards to select intel measures, Deviants Bliss, Copycat, Frostbite, Powerhaus, and Sublime set to a desert locale to encounter an abandoned home in the dark of the Twist to initiate them to join their mercenary team. Bliss would come to learn that Menlove had previously sexually abused her in the captive of I.O. and set orders for the Deviants to eliminate the Twist. Sublime murdered Smoking Boy, Copycat telepathically lead Texas to stab himself, Evo murdered Virginia Dentata and Frostbite set to absorb the heat of the night desert sand to cause a firestorm that incinerated the house and allegedly killed some of the original Twist which included the innocent precognate Blind Lemon and a series of mentally deficient gen-factor kids in the basement.Upon returning to New York to gain explaination to the lack of intel on the Twist's true origins and their ties to their own powers, Ivana Biaul simply thanked the team on their assassinations stated the Twist were despite gene trash perverts also plausible insiders who may have known more about the Deviants origins than they suspected. They bitterly continued to operate for Ivana on the snub.Months followed in Deviant ranks leading Powerhaus to die, Threshold to suffer trauma, and Frostbite set to quit the Deviants completely. The Twist returned with their latest inductee, Empty, who murdered two store patrons in daylight hours only to request himself to be arrested before the media. Empty publically used his powers of invisibility and sensory deprivation to escape undetected and was sought by Ivana to have his powers used to their ends. She assigned Bliss, Evo and Sideways Bob to allocate Empty within the city of his crimes only to have the trio undergo personal hatreds on each other. Stalling near a homestead, Empty attacked the three only to abduct Bliss into a home where Texas and Candielion had previously killed the original homeowners as to conspire to murder or induct the Deviants to the Twist. Evo abducted Candielion to extort Texas to free Bliss to a cynical bluff to later have the three Twist members leave the home before Evo set to release Bliss and consider quitting the Deviants. As of since the Twist and their activities have not been recorded.

This recipe is from
Smokin' with Myron Mixon
YIELD: makes 3 1/2 cups
Combine all the ingredients in a blender and pulse until thoroughly combined. Pour into a medium pot, and stir continuously over medium heat until heated through. Do not allow it to boil. Remove and use while hot.
If reserving for a later use, allow the mixture to cool; then pour it into a large bottle or container and store, refrigerated, for up to 1 year.
Myron Mixon was quite literally born to barbecue. His father, Jack, owned a barbecue take-out business in Vienna, Georgia, which Myron helped run. His parents started selling Jack's Old South Barbecue Sauce, and after his father died in 1996, Myron thought that by entering competitions he could sell some sauce. He was hooked. He has appeared on the Today show, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson.
