It's been two years since I've posted anything on Newgrounds. I've been doing so much hard work in high school that now I'm in college. I'm about to finish my first semester of college and hopefully during the break, before I go back I could at least post ONE new drawing. Like I said in my last post, I'M NOT DEAD YET.
That said, I'm not sure what I want to draw, but hopefully, I'll start it/finish it.
Thank you
I'm not dead yet I'm just gettin warmed up! Now I have time to finally post more drawings and the show will be a long ass while because... well we are highschool students and we don't have much stuff to work with but it will happen I promise. So I'm not dead and also if nobody out here gets this message, well atleast I know i still proving to myself I can still make it! Peace!
Im not dead I haven't posted anything for a while because I'm working on art and also I'm assembling a team at school to make a team so we can animate a cartoon. We are getting plot and comedy so i will post stuff like art and we are now creating plot.
New stuff is coming soon and I just posted a while ago some art and its going well. Um, I just want y'all to know this is a big step for me and my art style will improve. I would love some feedback and just comments from y'all and I will respond back if there are any questions. So thanks alot to everyone or anybody who still stuck with me and knew I could comeback. :)
I've been working on some sketches and I was wondering what do I need to do to get better or should I post He-Man. I am still working on Louie Armstrong, I'm going to add a background for him but for now its a preview.
Got the Wacom and now I can finally not use the scanner. I just need to set it up and get the software installed and everything will be good and I can start working on art and animation.
Okay, so on July 14 the dy of my birthday, I'm deciding to buy a Wacom Manga drawing pad and I think it comes with the animation software. I currently made some characters and art work. The character are safe for work but the art work is NSFW. The reason why it's NSFW, I will never truly know why I made it though should I feel proud? Anyway once the Wacom comes, art will be posted faster and I will promise animation! Thanks for whoever stayed and trusted that I can still come back strong!
Looks like its been a while since I haven't posted any art. Reasons: I was slacking, there is drivers ED, Testing Out of Speech, and RTX. The good news though, I have better work space, the scanner will soon work, the animation software is coming soon (soon to me is diffrent than soon to you) and I am learning better art styles. Until then if anybody reads this. I will come back...
Final freakingly I'm out of school and it's summer! Now I can work on art and start setting up some of my friend's Newgrounds account and more work will be done. Sorry for not posting anything but soon more thing will come and also we have to work on them. So thanks for understanding!
Its going to take a while and I haven't worked more on my new drawing is becasuse of finals. Yep FINALS are here this week at school and I just going to study and I won't draw for a while. Though after this week I'm going to start again and I'll have some help along the way posting drawings with my friend. He will be noted as "friend" for now until he gets his account on Newgrounds. Until then enjoy the summer guys!!!

Finding Nemo in Suffolk fishery
This surface-caught torpedo gave Aiden Sharpe 'by far the best fight' he has ever had.
An early morning change of swims at Suffolk Water Park led the Ipswich angler to the 37lb 4oz mirror, which is known as Nemo.
"I was awakened by a tench at 3.30am and it didn't look great in front of me," said the 29-year-old, "so I decided to have a stroll up the bank to where the fish were showing the day before.
"I catapulted a few mixers out and had one carp start to feed, so I packed all my gear up and drove up to the peg."
The self-employed builder and bricklayer then rigged up a large controller float to reach the fish, which were more than 50 yards out, and Spombed out some more mixers.
He continued: "It wasn't long before I was bent into a hard-fighting fish. I knew it was a good one from the way it was plodding and the power it had, stripping line off me.
"It was by far the best fight I've had, and it managed to snag me in the reeds for a couple of minutes before powering off again.
"By this time the bailiff had come down to give me a hand with the net and after about 30 minutes I finally had it in the net. Happy days!"

What happens when your friend drives your car and is involved in an accident?
Posted by Royal Sundaram on 13 Oct 2009
Insurance follows the vehicle and not the driver. So, if you have taken car insurance for your car, your car insurance company is liable to pay damages to your car provided your friend holds a valid driving license.
Your insurance company is also liable to pay any third-party liability that might occur due to this accident.
If your friend sustains any injury due to this accident, he will not be covered under your insurance policy, as he is neither the owner of the car or the paid driver of your car, nor is he part of the list of unnamed passengers covered under your policy. However, if your car is involved in an accident with another car/vehicle, then the insurance policy of the other car/vehicle will cover your friend.
It is better not to allow anyone to drive your car. However, your car insurance premium will increase upon renewal once the claim is made.
Also, it would be wise to include all those family members who live with you and are likely to drive your car covered under your policy in the unnamed passenger category.

My car (Zen LXI 2005 model) met with an accident on NH 9 near kodada. I have parked my vehicle at varun motors Balanagar Hyderabad Branch. Mr. Tirupati Raju agent at the branch was unable to cover at least 20% of my claims and even he faulted me for covering damages at the time of handover of the vehicle. After starting the work he declaims the claims which I have made. Plz suggest me a solution as i am experiencing a ridiculous service from Royal Sundaram. I am ready to sue for this if the promised claims are not covered. plz reply back to me at email@example.com or you can reach me at +91 9966633306.
Dear Mr.Balakrishnan,
You can opt for a PA cover by paying an additional amount of Rs 50 per lac for each passenger travelling in the car. Normally the limit is up to the seating capacity of the car owned. Options available for Sum Insured for the PA cover are Rs 50000, Rs 1 lac, Rs 1.5 lacs and Rs 2 lacs for each passenger. If you want to cover each member of your family specifically you can also cover them using the named passengers PA cover by mentioning their name at the time of renewing your policy.
The above article has a very useful information for car owners like me. How do I include all those family members who live with me and are likely to drive my car covered under my Royal Sundaram Car Insurance policy in the unnamed passenger category? I am very keen get this done at the earliest. Please help.

This invention relates to multiprocessor systems and more specifically, to means for transferring data and program control in such systems.
A multiprocessor system is a data processing system in which a number of processors cooperate to execute the total overall task of the system. It is used when one processor cannot handle the full data processing load demanded of the system. While a great deal of progress has been made in solving the problems of multiprocessor systems having a small number of processors, no satisfactory arrangement exists for the achievement of a very high throughput in a system having a large number of modest performance processors.
Multiprocessor systems, in common with other data processing systems, use random access storage such as semiconductor random access memories, and bulk storage, such as magnetic disks or tapes. When a particular task is being performed by the system, the program and data associated with this task is stored in random access memory so that the data can be processed. At other times, the data is stored in bulk storage, ready to be transferred or paged into random access storage when the need arises.
No really satisfactory technique exists in prior art systems for efficiently and economically sharing random access memory, especially that containing programs, among many processors. Some prior art systems share all random access memory, including programs and data, among all processors. When program memory is to be fully shared among all processors, a bottleneck exists in accessing and communicating program instructions from common memory to each of the processors upon demand. Either an extremely high throughput bus or a complex bus interconnection scheme is used to transmit the instructions from the memory to several processors. Such prior art buses are expensive and the systems are limited to a small number of processors since they require the sending of vast quantities of program instructions over the buses with an inevitable loss of performance capability.
In other prior art systems, local random access memory is provided for each processor. Multiprocessor systems generally operate in the multiprocessing mode, wherein the system executes a number of broad tasks, called program processes, simultaneously. Associated with each program process are a number of variables and parameters, stored in an area of memory called the program function context. Each of these program processes accomplishes its objectives by executing a number of sub-tasks or program functions which utilize the data of the associated program function context. In prior art multiprocessing systems, a program process is usually confined to a single procesor. Placing an entire program process on one processor requires an expensive, large local memory for that processor and degrades performance by requiring a great deal of manipulation of memory contents. The alternative of breaking large processes down into small processes is also inefficient and leads to an unwieldy software structure.
Prior art multiprocessor systems use restricted and specialized communication means between processors and input/output controllers and among input/output controllers in order to avoid overloading the common system bus. Input/output controllers are associated with various combinations of devices such as magnetic disk or tape memories, input/output terminals and displays, high speed printers, punched card readers and punchers. Usually, these controllers are interconnected by arrangements with limited access; all processors cannot directly access all input/output units without considerable expense. This means that system performance is degraded if large amounts of data must be exchanged between two input/output controllers which were initially designed to exchange very little data.
Many modern processors and multiprocessor systems use a highly flexible method of addressing memory called virtual addressing. A virtual address is an address of main (random access) memory in a simulated processor system; the virtual address is translated into a physical address in the actual processor system before it is used to access random access memory. The translation mechanism is flexible so that at different times, a given virtual address may correspond to different physical addresses of random access memory; a virtual address may also correspond to an address of bulk storage. Virtual addresses tend to be fixed in a program; physical addresses are assigned to a given segment of virtual addresses when needed. A page fault occurs when a virtual address does not correspond to a physical address of random access memory, i.e., when the translation mechanism fails to find such a correspondence. Page faults always require the adjustment of the translation mechanism, and sometimes, the paging of data from bulk storage into newly assigned random access memory space.
The design of economical address translation mechanisms for translating virtual addresses to physical addresses presents a problem in a multiprocessor system. In prior art multiprocessor systems, these mechanisms are implemented using very fast circuits because the delay of address translation is added to each access of random access memory. The size of address translation mechanisms is usually restricted by cost because of the high speed requirement. A result is that many page faults, i.e., system indications that a desired memory location cannot be accessed, occur because, although the required segment is available in storage, the translation to reach that location is not currently in the address translation mechanism. In prior art multiprocessor systems with many individual processors and address translator mechanisms, address translation is expensive and tends to limit system performance. Furthermore, prior art bus schemes interconnecting the processors and shared memories of a multiprocessing system are frequently a limitation on the total throughput.
In accordance with this invention, each processor of a multiprocessor system is adapted to cause a program function to be executed by any processor of the system, by linking a request for such execution to a work queue of the called processor. The calling processor links the program function context, specifying the called program function, to the work queue of the called processor. The called processor then executes that program function. In one embodiment of this invention, the link to the program function context is augmented by a link to a program address of the called program function; the latter link need not be provided by the program function context in this case. Alternatively, the link can be part of the data provided by the program function context.
In one embodiment of this invention, each processor has local memory directly accessible only to the central processing unit of that processor used for storing programs to be executed by the associated processor. Preferrably, shared memory means also exist, accessible to all processors, and used to link the called program function context to the work queue of another processor. Advantageously, by permitting individual program functions to be assigned to any processor, thus allowing a process to be spread over several processors, the size of local memory for each processor can be reduced. Repeated copies of a function used by many processes can be eliminated.
In one embodiment of this invention, external bus means interconnect processors and shared memory means. Further, input/output controllers have the same access to the bus means as processors, can call or be called for the execution of a program function using the same techniques, and can similarly access shared data. Advantageously, this provides full access among all input/output controllers, processors, and shared memory.
In one embodiment of this invention, the shared memories, processors, and bus means are adapted to transfer blocks of data rapidly and efficiently by treating the words of the block together instead of as separate and independent entities. Consecutive addresses need not be transmitted repetitively for such a block transfer. Advantageously, this reduces the number of address translations required and permits the system to operate efficiently even with a slower address translation mechanism. Advantageously, the bus means are used for transferring blocks of data among input/output controllers, shared memory means, and processors, thus providing highly flexible interconnection apparatus among these units.
In one embodiment of this invention, virtual addressing is used to access memory. The virtual address translation mechanism used in one specific embodiment is a single common facility accessible by all processors, and comprises one or several independent translation modules. These modules operate on different portions of the virtual address spectrum. Advantageously, the use of a common facility makes it economically feasible to make this facility large enough to eliminate those page faults which in prior systems result from required translations not being available in the translation mechanism. In one embodiment of this invention, each program process occupies a different portion of the virtual address spectrum. Advantageously, this facilitates a relatively uniform distribution of translation load among the translation modules. In one embodiment, data indicating the identity of a processor designated to execute a called program function and an indication of the address of that called program function is stored in memory. Advantageously, such memory can be shared memory. If virtual addressing is used in a system, such memory can be addressed using virtual addressing means. Alternatively, such data may be stored in the virtual address translation mechanism.
In an alternative embodiment of a virtual address translator, such a translator is implemented using a group of at least two serially connected blocks to perform the translation. Each block comprises memory, register and adder means. The input to the first block represents an initial virtual address, the output of each block is the input to the next block and the output of the last block includes the physical address corresponding to the initial virtual address. The blocks can be operated in a pipeline mode to allow action on several translations to proceed simultaneously. In a specific alternative embodiment, three blocks are used in tandem. The alternative embodiment of an address translator is used in an address translation module of which there may be one or a plurality of indepedent modules.
In one embodiment of this invention, processors are arranged to generate physical addresses after having generated a translation from a virtual to a physical address. The address translation means are adapted to transmit such physical addresses without translation. Physical addresses may, for example, occupy a dedicated portion of the total address spectrum. This arrangement reduces the number of translations required and permits the system to operate efficiently even with slower address translation mechanisms. Advantageously, the use of slower address translation mechanisms makes it economically possible to greatly expand the address capacity of these mechanisms, thus reducing page faults.
In one embodiment of this invention, the bus means are split into three segments operating simultaneously and independently. One segment transmits signals from processor output means to virtual address translation means. A second segment transmits signals from the output of virtual address translation means to shared memory addressing and data input means. A third segment transmits signals from shared memory output means to processor input means. intersegment connections are provided for cases in which the output of one bus segment can be transmitted directly to the next bus segment. In addition, each segment of the bus system can carry many simultaneous transactions. Each memory result and each data word to be written is tagged with the identification of the requesting or sending unit respectively so that several memory responses and several data words to be written can be interleaved. The bus means can also be used for transmitting data among processors and input/output units. Advantageously, a bus system in accordance with this invention provides high throughput without the prohibitive expense of prior art high performance buses.
The invention will be better understood from the following detailed description when read with reference to the drawing in which:
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a multiprocessor system representing an illustrative embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 2 is a memory layout of memory entries used in executing programs in the system of FIG. 1; and
FIGS. 3a, 3b, 3c and 4 are a memory layout of work queues for the processors of the system of FIG. 1.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an illustrative multiprocessing system consisting of processors 10.1, . . . , m, input/output (I/O) modules 12.1, . . . , n, address translators 15.1, . . . , p and shared memory modules 18.1, . . . , q, interconnected by bus system 51, 52, 53. The processors are identical in structure and each includes a central processing unit (CPU) 22, a local memory 24, and bus interface circuits 21 and 23. The CPU 22, which may be a commercially available unit such as the Motorola MC 68000, is connected to the local memory 24 which stores programs and data dedicated to the CPU. The interface circuits 21 and 23 provide an interface between the CPU and buses 51 and 53. The I/O modules 12.1, . . . , n are identical in structure and each comprises a central processing unit (CPU) 32, interface circuits 31 and 33 by which the CPU is connected to buses 51 and 53, and input/output equipment 34, local memory 35, and bulk memory 36 all connected to the CPU. The CPU 32 may be the same kind of machine as the CPU 22. Local memory 35 is adapted to store data and the programs for the CPU 32. The input/output equipment 34 includes input and output terminals. Bulk memory 36 consists of bulk storage devices such as magnetic disks and tapes.
Memory modules 18.1, . . . , q are identical in structure, each including a standard random access memory unit such as memory 62 and bus interface circuits 61 and 63. Any of the memory modules may be addressed by any of the processors or I/O modules. The memory addresses transmitted on bus 51 may be either virtual addresses or addresses of physical memory locations (physical addresses). A virtual address is the identification of an item (program or data) which may be stored at any physical address in one of the memory modules or in bulk memory in one of the I/O modules. Virtual addresses occurring on bus 51 are translated by means of the address translators 15.1, . . . , p into physical addresses defining physical location in the memory modules. Each of the address translators includes a translator unit 42 and interface circuits 41 and 43. The translator units are well-known virtual address translators which include information defining the present physical location of the item identified by the virtual address.
If the data contained in the translator 42 indicates that the physical address corresponding to the translated virtual address is in one of the memory modules 18.1, . . . , q, the translator module will transmit the physical address to the appropriate memory module via bus 52. In the event that the corresponding physical address does not fall within the range of addresses of the memory modules, the item identified by the virtual address is obtained from the bulk memory location corresponding to the virtual address and placed in a selected one of the memory modules. Furthermore, the information in the translators is changed to reflect the selected memory module location for the virtual address. The memory access operation may be completed using the new physical address. Address tables stored in memory define the present location of all data, whether in bulk storage or in a memory module.
In this embodiment of the invention, the bus system is broken into three parts. Bus 51 is used to transmit address and data outputs of the processors and I/O modules to the translators 15.1, . . . , p. Bus 52 is used to transmit addreses and data to the memory modules 18.1, . . . , q. Bus 53 is used to transmit data from the memory modules to processors 10.1, . . . , m and I/O modules 12.1, . . . , n. Also connected between buses 51 and 52 is a pass-through unit 17 consisting of interface circuits 44 and 46, to allow signals, such as physical address signals generated by a processor or I/O module to be passed directly from bus 51 to 52. A similar arrangement allows the direct passage of signals from bus 52 to bus 53 via bypass unit 20 and from bus 53 to bus 51 via bypass unit 14.
Each of the units connected between bus 51 and 52 have an input interface circuit C and an output interface circuit D. Similarly, each of the units connected between bus 52 and bus 53 have an input interface circuit E and an output interface circuit F, and units connected between buses 53 and 51 have an input interface circuit A and an output interface circuit B. In each instance, interface circuits identified with the same letter are identical and each of the circuits is designed to assure compatibility between the bus circuitry and the circuitry to which it is connected.
The address spectrum of the system is broken down into three parts. The total range is from 0 to (232 -1). The first part, 0 to (224 -1) is reserved for local addresses within each processor. The same addresses can be used by all the processors and input/output modules for addressing their own local memories. The second range, 224 to (226 -1) is dedicated to physical addresses of shared memory. Each such physical address defines a unique location in the physical memory accessed by bus 52. The third range, 226 to (231 -1) is used for virtual addresses of shared memory.
Each processor is adapted to recognize local addresses and retain these internally. Thus, local (first range) addresses are not transmitted on bus 51. The bypass module 17 is adapted to recognize addresses in the second range and to transmit such addresses directly to bus 52 without translation. Only third range addresses are translated by modules 15.1, . . . , p. Module 17 is also adapted to recognize and transmit data (as opposed to addresses) directly to bus 52.
In the illustrative multiprocessing system, different portions of the total virtual address spectrum are devoted to different processes. This helps to prevent unwanted inter-process interference, and makes it possible to protect memory, common to several processes but associated at one instant with only one process, from being illegally accessed by an unauthorized process. The translation mechanism generates memory protection codes for all memory accesses, and can generate a different memory protection code for the same location if it is associated with a different process.
The translation mechanism is broken up into different modules, each of which treats a different portion of the total address spectrum. This makes it unnecessary to store any address translation in more than one module. Each process has its own virtual address set, and each address translation module then operates upon a different set of processes. This arrangement is used to equalize the load on the different address translation modules.
The use of a single overall address translation mechanism which stores each translation only once makes it economically feasible, using conventional address translation methods, to store enough translations so that page faults due to missing translation data in the translation mechanism can be substantially eliminated. An alternative is to use a translation mechanism implemented through the use of random access memory and successive look-up operations based on the process number, segment and page; since this embodiment of the invention has sharply reduced the number of translations required, such an approach is feasible and offers an economical, very large translator module.
If a processor or input/output module must perform a number of memory operations in a particular block, it can access the basic address translation tables of the system, stored here in shared memory, to generate the physical address of that block. Thereafter, the processor or input/output module can execute programs using the physical address of that block. These physical addresses (second range) are then transmitted from bus 51 to 52 by module 17, without requiring address translation. This reduces the address translation load on the system. Alternatively, it is also possible to add a special read command to the system which would return to a requesting processor a physical address instead of the data stored at that address; such a facility would speed up the process of generating a physical address.
In a multiprocessor system, it is frequently necessary to transfer substantial amounts of data between bulk memories or from bulk memory to random access memory and vice versa. In this embodiment of the invention, this is accomplished by using buses 51, 52, and 53 to implement block transfers of data among input/output modules, the local memories of the processors, and the shared memories. The write transfer of a block of data is accomplished by sending to the appropriate memory an initial address, a block write command, and the length of a block of data, and thereafter transmitting only data. The length and initial address are stored in interface E (61) which subsequently controls the writing of the individual words of data until the block write has been accomplished. A block read is accomplished the same way except that a block read command is sent and the individual words of data are sent from the shared memory to the input/output or processor modules. Interface A (21, 31) is used to store the initial address and length of block for a block read, in order to control the action of writing into the local memory (24, 25).
In order to implement a block transfer from a processor or input/output module to another such unit, a special command to alert the destination unit of a block transfer is provided. This command includes the identification of the destination unit and is recognized by interface A (21, 31) of that unit. Interface A then interrupts the associated CPU (22, 32). The destination unit is now ready to receive the initial address and length of block for a block read or write and to accept the data words for a block write or to send out the data words associated with a block read.
Interface circuits A through F associated with the various modules of this system are adapted to transmit signals to and receive signals from the bus system. In some cases, they are further adapted to store extra signals and to control block operations. These interface circuits are made up of registers, counters, range recognition circuits, module identification recognition circuits, first-in, first-out register stacks, bus access arbiter circuits to resolve bus access conflicts, bus receivers, and bus transmitters, all well known in the art.
Interfaces A (21, 27, 31) and B (23, 29, 33) are adapted to implement the block transfer operations, and to recognize those signals on bus 53 which are destined for a particular processor. They include counters and addressing registers to allow the successive reads or writes associated with a block transfer to be read from or stored into the correct portion of local memory. In addition, interface B is adapted to resolve bus access conflicts between different processors.
Interface C (41) in address translation modules 15.1, . . . , p, is adapted to recognize addresses within the assigned range of the associated translator. Interface C has storage to accept a number of almost simultaneous requests for translations by the same translator module. Interface C (44) in module 17 is similarly adapted to recognize the range of addresses not requiring translation and to recognize data to be passed directly to bus 52. Interface D (43, 46) is adapted to resolve bus access conflicts to bus 52 between different address translator modules and the bypass module 17.
Interface E (61) is adapted to recognize data signals and addresses on bus 52 destined for a particular shared memory module, and is adapted to control block transfer operations. It may be desirable for some applications to further adapt interface E to accept isolated read or write requests in the middle of a block transfer operation. In addition, interface E is adapted to accept additional requests while memory 62 is reading a given location. Interface F(63) is adapted to resolve bus access conflicts to bus 53.
Since a number of shared memory read and write transactions, including some block transactions, are taking place simultaneously, interfaces B are adapted to tag address, block length, and data signals with the identification of the requesting processor module 10.1, . . . , m or input/output module 12.1, . . . , n, and interfaces F are adapted to tag data returned from a shared memory module 18.1, . . . , q with the identification of the requesting module. Interfaces A are adapted to check for this tag on any response from a read or block read command. Interfaces E are adapted to recognize the tag of a previously sent address that is attached to a subsequent block length or write data signal, and to be responsive to such tagged signals. In the case of a block transfer from a processor or input/output unit to another such unit interface A of the destination unit looks for the tag of the source unit. In addition, interfaces F are adapted to generate an acknowledgement including the identification tag of the requesting processor or I/O module on a write or block write command, and interfaces A are adapted to recognize such acknowledgements. Interfaces C and D are adapted to transmit the identity of the requesting processor or input/output module along with address, block length, or data sent to shared memories.
FIG. 2 shows an alternate implementation for the translators 42 of the address translation modules. Address translator 42 comprises three random access memories (RAM's) 310, 311, and 312 each with an associated adder (320, 321, 322, respectively) for combining input signals to produce the appropriate output and an associated register (330, 331, 332, respectively). A virtual address is composed of a process number, segment number, page number, and page offset. The process number is used to address RAM 310, while the segment number, page number and page offset are stored in register 330. The output of RAM 310 (segment address table location) is added to the segment number selected from register 330 and used as an address of RAM 311. The contents of RAM 311 (page address table location) are then added to the page number in register 331 to locate the data specifying the specific page address in RAM 312. The output of RAM 312 (page address) is added to the page offset to generate the physical address corresponding to the original virtual address. In effect, RAM 310 stores the locations of virtual address segment tables of each process in RAM 311; the increment of the segment number then locates the data in RAM 311 specifying the location of the page address table in RAM 312; the increment of the page number then locates the page address stored in RAM 312. Note that address translator 42 can work in a pipeline mode, in which each of the three RAM's is simultaneously reading data for the translation of a different virtual address. Note further that address translator 42 is composed of three essentially identical blocks 300, 301, 302 differing only in the portion of the register 330, 331, 332 connected to adder 320, 321, 322. In some systems, it is possible to use concatenation arrangements or other specialized adding arrangements for some or all of the adders 320, 321, 322. In more or less complex virtual addressing arrangements, it is possible to use only two blocks, or more than three blocks, for implementing the translator.
FIGS. 3 and 4 show memory layouts associated with the flow of program control in the multiprocessor system. The individual major tasks which a data processing system must carry out in order to accomplish its total objective are usually called program processes. These processes are carried out by executing a number of subtasks or program functions. In a multiprocessor system, several processes are normally being executed simultaneously on different processors, and using different portions of shared memory. In the multiprocessor system of this invention, the various program functions associated with a given program process need not be executed on one processor; instead, one processor can call for the execution by another processor of a program function within the same process.
Each process that is active in the system has a process control block (FIG. 3A) of memory dedicated to keeping track of status information and parameters needed by the process. The time that the process was originally invoked is stored in location 211 and the time that the most recent function being executed on this process was invoked is stored in location 212 in the typical process control block 210. FIG. 3B shows the layout of a program function context 220, which is maintained during a program process. The context is a last in, first out memory stack. The most recently generated parameters in locations 222 and variables in locations 223 can then be found by going a small number of levels into the stack. The program status indication of the program function execution is kept with the program function context in location 221.
FIG. 3C shows two process tables 230 and 240, one for each of two processes. Each table contains a list of processor identifications and addresses for all the functions used by a process. For example, as indicated in locations 234 and 231 respectively, the first function, G(1), used by the first process shown in designated to be executed on processor P(G(1)); the address inside that processor in which this first function is stored is A(G(1)). In similar fashion, as indicated in locations 235, . . . , 236 the processors, P(G(2)), . . . , P(G(N)) are designated to execute functions G(2), . . . , G(N); as indicated in locations 232, . . . , 233, these functions are stored at internal addresses A(G(2)), . . . , A(G(N)), within these processors. Similarly, the processor identifications and addresses for the M functions H(1),H(2), . . . , H(M), of a second process are shown in table 240 of FIG. 3C. Alternatively, it is possible to store indicators, such as an index or the address of a pointer, from which a processor executing a program can generate a program address and/or a processor identification.
Table 230 is initialized when the system first recognizes the need to execute the first program process and loads the various program functions required to execute that process in various processors. The table entries are filled in as each program function is loaded into its processor. When virtual memory addressing is used, as in the system being described, this table is stored at a virtual address, either defined within the code of the various program functions which may call any of the program functions of this program process, or found via pointers located at such a virtual address. In a similar manner, table 240 is initialized when the system recognizes the need to execute the second program process.
Alternatively, the contents of table 230, 240, and other similar tables can be used as the primary translation table mapping from virtual to physical addresses. This primary translation table could be stored in memory and inserted into the translation mechanism as needed, or, in case the translation mechanism were implemented through the use of random access memory and successive look-up operations, could be stored directly in the address translation mechanism.
FIG. 4 shows the memory layouts of work queues which are used to allow one program function being executed on one processor to call for a second program function to be executed either on the same processor or on any other processor in the system. Block 100 shows memory associated with a first processor, block 101 with a second processor, . . . , block r with a last processor. In this discussion, input/output controllers are included among processors. In a system with i processors and j input/output modules, a total of i+j such blocks would be maintained.
Each processor has associated with it a work queue such as 110 containing a list of program functions which that processor has been called upon to execute and which it has not yet executed. In the described system, there is both a regular work queue (110, 160) and a high priority work queue (120, 170), in order to allow special high priority functions to be executed before regular functions. It is possible, using techniques well known in the art, to implement more complex priority schemes in which there can be more than two priorities of tasks. Moreover, methods of interrupting the current execution of a function in order to execute a special high priority task are also well-known in the art.
In this system, in order to simplify the problems which are associated with assuring that access to the work queue of one processor is not simultaneously sought by several other processors, each processor has an associated output queue (130, 140). The calling processor loads a request for the execution of a called function into its own output queue. A separate process, controlled, for example, by a third processor, is used to examine called program function requests in the output queues of each processor and load corresponding entries into the work queue of the processor designated to execute the called program function.
Each entry in a queue includes a program address or an address in a process table, such as 230, and the address of the program function contact. Each queue has a load and an unload pointer for example, 111, 112. The load pointer is controlled by the processor loading the queue, the unload pointer by the processor unloading the queue. Thus, the first processor controls load pointer 131 and writes entries such as 133 and 134 into its output queue as it executes program functions which call for the execution of other program functions. The first processor also controls unload pointer 112 and 122 of its work queue and reads entries such as 113, 114, 123, and 124 preparatory to executing the corresponding called functions which have been requested through the execution of corresponding calling functions.
The third processor, executing a separate process, executes a program function which examines the contents of output queues such as 130 and 180 and loads entries into the work queues such as 110, 120, 160 and 170. The third processor reads entries such as 133 in the output queue of each processor. After it reads one of these entries, it changes unload pointer 132. It examines the corresponding table entry in FIG. 3C to find the selected processor and program address and writes the program address into the appropriate work queue of the selected processor. The third processor then modifies the load pointer 111 or 121 of the appropriate work queue of the selected processor. In this arrangement, there is no restriction preventing the calling and called processor from being the same. The procedure for the call is identical.
Consider now a case in which the first processor is executing a first function and recognizes that there is a need to call for the execution of a second function. Both functions are in the first process in FIG. 3C and labeled G(1) and G(2). Processors P(G(1)) and P(G(2)) are the first and second processors in this example. During the course of execution of function G(1), the first processor will have entered data into a program function context including the status of the program and the parameters and variables that function G(2) will need in order to execute. In order to execute its part of the work of the function call, the first processor will load into its output queue 130 the address of entry 235 of table 230 of FIG. 3C. The first processor will then modify the load pointer 131 to point to this new entry.
The third processor will subsequently examine the load pointer 131 and unload pointer 132 of the output queue of the first processor and will recognize that the two do not match. This is an indication that the first processor has made an entry in its output queue. The third processor will examine the word pointed to by the entry in 133 of the output queue, where it will find the identity of the processor P(G(2)) (the second processor, in this case) which will execute function G(2), and the address A(G(2)) in that processor. The third processor will use the identity of the processor P(G(2)) to find the regular work queue 160 of the second processor and will enter the address of G(2), A(G(2)), in that work queue. In addition, it will copy into work queue 160 the pointer 135 to the program function context that the second processor will need in order to execute the second function. The third processor will then increment the load pointer of the regular work queue 160 of the second processor.
Subsequently, the second processor when it has finished other work will check to see if there is additional work by looking at the load pointer and unload pointer of its work queues 160 and 170. If these do not match, for either work queue, new work has been loaded into one of its work queues. The second processor will prepare to execute the next called function whose address and the address of whose program function context it will find in its work queue. It will then update the unload pointer so that after finishing the execution of this program function, it will be prepared to execute the next requested program function.
In the case of a function call in which the calling program function expects a return, the return from the called program function is implemented as a call to the original calling function. The return address data is stored in the program function context by the original calling program function and found there by the called program function; values derived by the called program function are stored in locations specified by the calling program function.
In this embodiment, program function context, output queues, work queues, and their associated pointers are all in shared memory. Since facilities, such as those used for block transfers, exist to allow the reading from and storage into local memory of other processors, it is possible to place some of these items in local storage. An alternate solution to the process of calling for the execution of a process, is for the calling processor to write directly into the work queue of the called processor. This by-passes then process carried out in the above example by the third processor. It is also possible to implement the work queue using a first-in, first-out register stack in interface A (e.g., 21, 31) between a central processing unit and bus 53. This would allow one processor to write a call request directly into memory associated with a called processor.
In this embodiment, the address of the program function context and to the called program function are both stored in the work queue of the called processor. An alternative solution is to store only the address of the program function context, and to store the address of the program function, or a pointer to such an address, in the program function context. Furthermore, in this embodiment, program function addresses are recorded directly in the work queue. An alternative solution is to record a pointer or other indicator of such an address.
It is to be understood that the above-described embodiment is merely illustrative of the principles of this invention; other arrangements may be devised by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

GRAND ISLAND, Neb. -- Most of us have a daily routine before leaving the house, but after a string of burglaries in central Nebraska, you might want to switch it up.
Police are still investigating burglaries in Grand Island. It started back in November and remains active with two more burglaries Monday.
Last year there were 237 burglaries in the city, with 158 being residential.
The burglaries are scattered all throughout the town. TV's, gaming systems, and jewelry are some of the most common items taken.
Most of the burglaries take place during the day, which is why it's important to have someone keep an eye out on your house when you are not home.
"We know when the burglars come through they are being noticed and it's probably just not being reported," Capt. Jim Duering with the Grand Island Police Department said. "If we come out and we don't find anything, that's OK for us at the police department." "If we don't come out and should have been there, that's when we start seeing problems," Duering added.
Police were called to a reported burglary Monday that fortunately wasn't one.
"He walked straight into the house and after trying to get ahold of the owner a couple of times, my next option was to call the police," Issac Sinner, a Grand Island resident, said. "About the time they showed up, he was walking out of the house and made it to the church down the street."
Police were able to catch him and question him.
Police have advice on a few things people can do to help keep their home safe.
"Put lights on timers," Duering said. "Security systems or dogs are a great way to deter burglaries." "Change the position of cars in the driveway, so that it's hard to tell when you are home and not home," he added.
Capt. Duering said there are no leads as of now, but a white Cadillac with a blue vinyl top was reported in one incident as a suspect vehicle.
If anyone knows any information or sees suspicious activity, they are encouraged to contact police immediately.

The responsibility of the media (whether television, radio, print or digital media) is very high in an environment like the current one in Spain.
Modern Catholicism is "a synthesis of medieval essentialism and modern existentialism", the Dutch philosopher and theologian Cornelius Van Til said.
This educationalist, Prime Minister and theologian has left an imprint on Dutch churches, schools, media and politics visible even a full century later.
A journey back into the past has encouraged us to believe that God is not yet finished with Europe.
Notice how many buddha statues or wall hangings are for sale in local garden centres, or in home improvement centres, or cosmetic shops.
The Turkish President continues inflammatory rhetoric against EU leaders. April referendum could expand his powers.
Eight in ten citizens voted in key elections. Far-right candidate only gets 13% of the vote and Right-wing Liberal Mark Rutte will try tro form government. Christians are called to "ministry of reconciliation", evangelicals say.
A climate of tension surrounds the Dutch general election, which will be held on Wednesday 15. The Missie Nederland General Secretary, Jan C. Wessels, hopes "the values of the Dutch people, which are partly rooted in the Judeo-Christian tradition, will conquer."
Whether the election results swing left or right, the church will always steer its own course. And she will not be afraid to be critical of the government where the gospel would require. A manifesto by theologians Janneke Stegeman and Alain Verheij.
The European Evangelical Alliance warns about "the growing phenomenon of angry, polarising, post-truth rhetoric that is infecting political debate in many nations, including the Netherlands."
Experts in migration Anita Delhaas and Noemi Mena have founded "a platform which helps refugees through building networks, education and employment opportunities."
I wish our public discourse would reflect the complexity of life more fully.
"It is known that a good part of the women who are recruited for prostitution are minors", says sociologist Richard Poulin.
All pregnant women in the Netherlands will have access to the Non Invasive Prenatal Testing to know if they have children with Down syndrome.
A report from an independent commission advised in February to slow down euthanasia to prevent abuses.
Walk for Freedom in many European cities dennounced that "every 30 seconds, someone becomes a victim of modern-day slavery". Churches had Freedom Sunday special worship services.
In response to television programmes romanticising adultery, one parliamentarian in Netherlands raised sponsorship for roadside adverts stating: 'Adultery–the family game where everyone loses'.
"Christians should be prepared to argue for positions which advance the international common good even at the apparent expense of their national interests", Dr Jonathan Chaplin said in Amsterdam (May 8-9).
Robert Strong (OM Netherlands) on the experience of opening the church building to offer tea and a safe place changes the perspective of Christians and creates opportunities to speak about God.
What can members of local churches do to welcome asylum seekers living in their region? Robert Strong (Netherlands) suggests some easy steps we can follow.
Agape created a mobile app for refugees. It helps them to communicate better and get valuable information to feel welcome in their new surroundings.
Freedom needs spiritual values, internalised discipline and self-government. The truth will set us free, Jesus promised.
Joseph Fiennes is a Roman Centurion tasked with finding the corpse of Jesus Christ after his resurrection. The film will be released in European countries throughout March.
The cultural context of universities in Bulgaria, Netherlands, Czech Republic, Spain and Denmark is very different. But Christian student movements agree on one thing: non-believers discover the Christian faith through deep personal relationships with believers:
A German pastor cycles from Holland to the south of Italy, gets in touch with local churches and raises money for three missionary projects.
Human Rights Watch's 2015 report denounces issues in Croatia, Hungary, Spain, Italy, Greece, Germany, UK, Poland, Netherlands and France. "Over 155,000 people had reached EU shores, 3,000 died at sea."

The Man-Woman And Her Golf Cart At one of the first schools we skated in Arizona, we were asked to leave by a rather husky man-woman. We started packing up to leave, and the next thing I knew, she had grabbed one of the local's skateboards. Not that unusual. Then she circled around us like a vulture with her golf cart. Rookie Team Manager Barrett helped me round up my flashes and tripods for a quick getaway.
The local whose board had been confisicated decided he wanted his skateboard back, so he jumped into the golf cart with the husky man-woman and grabbed his board. They began to struggle over the board while she continued to drive and accelerate her cart. They battled it out Indiana Jones-style until she smashed the golf cart into a tree. The local broke free with his skateboard, and the lady lurked like a bitter vulture who'd lost its meal. It was one of the craziest and funniest things I've ever seen; I just wish I'd had my camera out.
The Convict And His Caddy Later that same night, we were shooting photos of Rob Welsh at 3:00 a.m. somewhere in Tempe. I had all my gear out¿flashes, camera, light stands, etc. I've always been cautious of sketchy areas or being out at night shooting with all my gear, but I thought it was cool because we had a little crew.
Anyway, some homey pulls up in a Caddy with his lady riding shotgun. Homey jumps out of the car and says, "Hey, you got any money? I'm not trying to rob you, but I need some money. I just got out of prison, and they're trying to send me back in."
"Sorry," I said, "don't have any."
"Well, what about your friends over there?"
Everyone in the group was sitting on some flat rail 50 feet away. At that moment it seemed more like a couple miles. I replied, "I don't know, you can ask them."
"No, you go ask them," he said.
I kindly declined. He asked me three more times, trying to get me to walk over there so I'd leave my equipment behind. He then gave up, jumped back in his Caddy, and sped off. I was pretty freaked out and was sure he was coming back with a piece.
We shot a few more flicks and got the hell out of there. No one seemed freaked out but me.
The Rookie T.M. Everyone meet Barrett, the rookie team manager (a.k.a. Rookie T.M.). I personally felt bad for this dude¿he's got a tough job and some difficult people to work with. He's not only the team babysitter but also a personal punching bag of sorts. Team-manager position requires dealing with all sorts of abuse and stress. Homey ain't getting paid enough for the work he puts in and the abuse he takes.
Flash-Flood Warnings During the first three days, the team and I skated and shot photos from 2:00 p.m. until five or six in the morning. I was surprised the guys were as amped and motivated as they were. I was tired but stoked. It was good that we put in twelve- to fifteen-hour days the first three, because after that all we had was a lot of driving and rain in Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. In those few days we had, we pretty much shot the whole article.

In my opinion you need to ask questions to find out contributing factors and to understand the view point of the "teller". If you take a scientific stance, any truth must first be proven through rigorous investigation and on multiple occasions. With personal subjects or interactions, I find I am inadvertantly finding the "truth" by asking questions. This way I can make an informed decision about what I am reading or listening to. The questions don't have to be towards a person but about the subject matter.
Remember what is true for one person can be untrue for others. You only have to take the ongoing and tedious debate about evolution and creationism. Regardless of evidence etc a person's beliefs will always dictate what is their "truth". Which takes me back to a scientific approach because it is only through rigorous investigation with an objective view can truth be established.

Hah, a half-trick question.
YOU can know the truth before you know it is the truth.
So the answer to your question is a resounding yes.
I could say that "I know that my shoe size is 13" without checking what it actually is. I might believe that it is the case because I was size 12 before and feel that my feet have grown a little since then.
Only when I challenge my "knowledge" and I find out that I am indeed size 13 do I know it's the truth.
But it could be argued that my arrogant assumption, which was not based on any real evidence was after all the truth in the first place.
But that is to say that I was 100% certain of my shoe size before verifying that it was what I believed it to be.
I think that is a mental disorder.
To be certain of something you cannot be certain about is probably a mental disorder and so in answer to your question:
Yes, but only with people who are twisted enough to believe in something 100% with no basis for such a belief. (Any basis after all would have involved challenging).
Well, I hope that was in the least bit coherent, interesting question, thanks!

What a great question! Off the top of my head I would say no, because as we develop, challenging reality is how we learn what is true and what is not.

The demolition follows government's decision to prevent another occurrence of the June 3 flood and fire disasters which claimed over 150 lives.
The Integrated Development and Empowerment Centre of Ghana (IDEC Ghana) is appealing to the "conscience" of President John Mahama to "compel the AMA mayor to add human face to the demolition exercise" at Sodom and Gomorrah.
Over one thousand homes were destroyed last Saturday in Ghana's biggest shanty town as the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) undertook a demolition exercise rendering a lot of people homeless.
The affected individuals took to the streets on Monday morning to demonstrate against the AMA. The entrance of the State House and some vehicles within the premises were vandalised by the angry residents. According to reports, the groups picketed at various spots including the Parliament House, State House, AMA office and the Agbogbloshie Market.
The demolition follows government's decision to prevent another occurrence of the June 3 flood and fire disasters which claimed over 150 lives. Many have said that the flood was caused by structures built on waterways.
A statement signed by Samuel K. Agbotsey, Executive Director of IDEC Ghana recommended that the country adopts "national evictions and demolition policy" to guide exercises of such nature.
Below is their full statement on the Sodom and Gomorrah saga:
We at IDEC Ghana and all believers in Human Rights deeply Sympathized with the people of OLD FADAMA and pray to God to give them strength to go through this turbulent moment in their lives while we put together a team to defend their Rights.
We pray and appeal to the Conscience of His Excellency the President to compel the A.M.A. Mayor to add human face to the demolition Exercise he is currently undertaking.
At the last Mensah Guinea demolishing exercise (which we condemned), we at IDEC Ghana gave some recommendations to be followed in any further demolition exercise:
1) That the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development and the Government of Ghana adopt a National Evictions and Demolition Policy that conforms to international standards. This policy should include provisions covering notice, access to basic shelter, food, safe drinking water, sanitation and medical care, accommodation for those evicted, timing of evictions, evicting only where it is absolutely necessary, consulting with the community on evictions.
2) That Evictions and Demolitions be done in Collaborate with key State Institutions such as NADMO, National Security and Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection. This is necessary in developing an appropriate procedure and mechanism to minimize the effects of the eviction and demolishing if it should be carried out in the first place.
We will like the MAYOR of Accra to help answer the following questions;
1) Is it too difficult to implement the recommendations above?
2) In carrying out this demolishing, have we considered children who are writing their BECE Exams?
3) Have we considered the season - the raining season?
4) Have we considered how properties of these affected people are to be dealt with? Etc.
Before we commence any legal action against the Evictions and Demolitions Exercise , we call on the President; His Excellency John Mahama to call the Major to order and compile him to respect the constitution of Ghana and human rights conventions, protocols and resolution of the UN and African Charter on Human and People's Rights which Ghana gladly signed.
Finally, we humbly appeal to the affected individuals and families to remain calm in this difficult situation and not to take the law into their own hands by resulting to violence which might worsen their genuine concerns while we seek the face of the His Excellency the President and the Law.
