3.When the LBSY on the SB is changed, LBSY change information is broadcast to all CPUs in the SB. Each CPU receives the change information and updates its copy.

4.On a read from an application, the copy value of LBSY, which is designated by supervisor software, is returned.

High-Speed BST Write Mechanism

1.An application writes value, designated by supervisor software, to a BST.

2.The CPU sends BST write information to the system controller.

3.The system controller writes the BST.

A write to BST is faster than a noncacheable store.

V

RW

Valid. When V = 0, BL_num and SB_BPU_num are ignored

 

 

 

and a read to ASI_LBSYRx always returns 0. On V = 1,

 

 

 

the copy value of LBSY selected by BL_num and

 

 

 

SB_BPU_num is read.

SB_BPU_num

RW

SB BPU relative number on the SB.

2:0

BL_num

RW
