TABLE P-9ASI_ERROR_CONTROL Bit Description (Continued)

Name

RW

Description

 

 

 

 

1

WEAK_ED

RW

Weak Error Detection. Controls whether the detection of I_UGE and DAE is

 

 

 

suppressed:

 

 

 

When WEAK_ED = 0, error detection is not suppressed.

 

 

 

When WEAK_ED = 1, error detection is suppressed if the CPU can continue

 

 

 

processing.

 

 

 

When I_UGE or DAE is detected during instruction execution while

 

 

 

WEAK_ED = 1, the value of the output register or the store target memory

 

 

 

location become unpredictable.

 

 

 

Even if WEAK_ED = 1, I_UGE or DAE is detected and corresponding trap is

 

 

 

caused when the CPU cannot continue processing by ignoring the error.

 

 

 

WEAK_ED is the trap disabling mask for A_UGE and restrainable errors, as

 

 

 

defined in TABLE P-2.

 

 

 

When a multiple-ADEtrap is caused (I_UGE, IAE, or DAE detection while

 

 

 

ASI_ERROR_CONTROL.UGE_HANDLER = 1), WEAK_ED is set to 1 by hardware.

0

UGE_HANDLER

RW

Designates whether hardware can expect a UGE handler to run in privileged

 

 

 

software (operating system) when a UGE error occurs:

 

 

 

0: Hardware recognizes that the privileged software UGE handler does not

 

 

 

run.

 

 

 

1: Hardware expects that the privileged software UGE handler runs.

 

 

 

UGE_HANDLER is the trap disabling mask for A_UGE and restrainable errors,

 

 

 

as defined in TABLE P-2.

 

 

 

The value of UGE_HANDLER determines whether a multiple-ADEtrap is

 

 

 

caused or not upon detection of I_UGE, IAE, and DAE.

 

 

 

When an async_data_error trap occurs, UGE_HANDLER is set to 1.

 

 

 

When a RETRY or DONE instruction is completed, UGE_HANDLER is set to 0.

Other

Reserved

R

Always reads as 0.
