7.2.11 Processor Status SignalsProcessor status signals indicate the state of the processor. They include the memory reservation signal, machine quiesce control signals,
State | Asserted | Indicates that the 750GX is requesting all bus activity normally required to be | ||||||
|
| snooped to terminate or to pause so the 750GX can enter a quiescent (low | ||||||
|
| power) state. When the 750GX has entered a quiescent state, it no longer | ||||||
|
| snoops bus activity. See Chapter 10, Power and Thermal Management, on | ||||||
|
| |||||||
| Negated | Indicates that the 750GX is not making a request to enter the quiescent | ||||||
|
| state. | ||||||
Timing |
|
|
|
| ||||
Assertion/ | Might occur on any cycle. | QREQ | will remain asserted for the duration of the | |||||
| Negation | quiescent state. | ||||||

7.2.11.2 Quiescent Acknowledge | ||||||||
State | Asserted | Indicates that all bus activity has terminated or paused, and that the 750GX | ||||||
|
| might enter nap or sleep mode. | ||||||
| Negated | Indicates that the 750GX cannot enter nap or sleep mode, or that it must | ||||||
|
| return to doze mode from nap mode in order to snoop. | ||||||
Timing |
|
| ||||||
Assertion/ | May occur on any cycle following the assertion of | QREQ. | Must be negated | |||||
| Negation | for at least eight bus cycles prior to performing any snoop cycles to ensure | ||||||
|
| that the 750GX has returned to doze mode from nap mode. | ||||||
| See Table | |||||||

7.2.11.3 Reservation | ||||||||
State | Asserted/ | Represents the state of the internal reservation coherency bit used by the | ||||||
| Negated | lwarx and stwcx. instructions. See Section 8.7.1, Support for the lwarx and | ||||||
|
| |||||||
Timing | Assertion/ | Might occur on any cycle. Will occur immediately following a transition of the | ||||||
| Negation | reservation coherency bit. |
