Abstract
Abstract A program controlled data processing installation is disclosed including program control units for carrying out the necessary system operations and memory storage devices for storing the necessary programs. The program control unit includes primary registers and an auxiliary storage unit including secondary registers to which immediate access is not required. The auxiliary storage unit is connected to the primary registers so that operations required by system commands may be carried out.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
75 words
A data processing installation comprising: a storage means for storing data and programs including program commands necessary for operation of the installation, and a program control unit including a plurality of primary registers and a first auxiliary storage unit including a plurality of secondary registers to which simultaneous access is not necessary, sAid auxiliary storage unit being connected to said primary registers so that elementary operations required by said program commands can be carried out.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
75 words
A data processing installation comprising: a storage means for storing data and programs including program commands necessary for operation of the installation, and a program control unit including a plurality of primary registers and a first auxiliary storage unit including a plurality of secondary registers to which simultaneous access is not necessary, sAid auxiliary storage unit being connected to said primary registers so that elementary operations required by said program commands can be carried out.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words
A device as claimed in claim 1 wherein said auxiliary storage is a matrix storage device.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
35 words
A device as claimed in claim 1 wherein said program control unit includes a second auxiliary storage means comprising a plurality of intermediate registers adapted to store the data of a program interrupted during processing.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
43 words
A device as claimed in claim 1 where in said first auxiliary storage unit includes an address portion of a command register and a command counter register responsive to said command register to assign all storage in said auxiliary units to said commands.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
69 words
A device as claimed in claim 1 including means for addressing storage cells of said auxiliary storage unit (ZS), said address register for addressing one of said cells, an address decoder (AD) controlling said block address register, and a command register (BR) for reading an operation part of one of said commands, the output of this command register being coupled through said address decoder to said clock address register.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
42 words
A device as claimed in claim 5 including a word register (WR) coupled between said auxiliary storage unit and said address decoder and including means for transferring an output on an index register to said address decoder in response to an indication.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
101 words
A device as claimed in claim 1 including means for effecting a rapid change of the cell storage address in said auxiliary storage comprising an output register (AR) connected to an output of the auxiliary storage (ZS) and adapted to serve as an intermediate storage device, an address register (ADR) for storing a cell storage address until requested by said auxiliary storage devise and a ''''1'''' adder device connected to the output of said output register and inputs of said auxiliary storage and said address register for effecting change in the cell address in said auxiliary storage device by ''''1'''' .
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
101 words
A device as claimed in claim 1 including a word register (WR) for storing the command word being operated on, an adder (ADD) including a first input (B) connected through an input circuit (BK) to said word register, a second input (A) connected through a selection devise (AU) to a cell of said auxiliary storage unit (ZS) and means for summing the contents of said auxiliary storage unit cell and said word register, and means for storing the result of said addition including an accumulator (AK) and an intermediate register (ZR), the storage area depending on the result of said addition.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
101 words
A device as claimed in claim 7 including a word register (WR) for storing the command word being operated on, an adder (ADD) including a first input (B) connected through an input circuit (BK) to said word register, a second input (A) connected through a selection device (AU) to a cell of said auxiliary storage unit (ZS) and means for summing the contents of said auxiliary storage unit cell and said word register, and means for storing the result of said addition including an accumulator (AK) and an intermediate register (ZR), the storage area depending on the result of said addition.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
37 words
A device as claimed in claim 9 wherein said intermediate register (ZR) is directly connected with said address register (ADR) and said word register (WR) so that said output register (AR) and ''''1'''' -adder (AD) are bypassed.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
24 words
A device as claimed in claim 9 wherein said intermediate register is directly connected to an information input of said auxiliary storage device (ZS).
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
51 words
A device as claimed in claim 10 including a sign distributor (ZT) for reading signs from said accumulator in parallel and applying the signs to an intermediate register in series, and wherein said intermediate register is coupled between an output of said adder (ADD) and an input of said accumulator (AK).
