ISO/IEC 14576:1999 PDF

This International Standard specifies the logical specifications of STbus which is a high-performance and highly reliable system bus. STbus adopts a synchronous transfer method with a high-speed clock and a split transfer method enabling to minimize bus holding time during one bus operation and to use a bus efficiently.

The contents given in this specifications are as follows:

• System bus interface signal provisions;
• Bus operations and transfer protocol for each bus operation;
• Copyback cache coherency control for maintaining consistency between a shared memory and a cache memory of each processor in a multiprocessor system;
• Fault detection function using parity check and duplex configuration for control signals.
