Release 1.0, 1 July 2002
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-
ADE
trap 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-
ADE
trap 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.
