| 20080208562 | Instructions providing new functionality for utilization by a target system program of host system container words during computer system emulation with host word size larger than that of the emulated machine - Two unique instructions for the instruction set of a target 36-bit machine which is emulated on a host 64-bit machine are provided in order to achieve visibility, to an emulated application program, of a “containing” word stored in the memory of the host machine. A “LOAD64” instruction loads the emulator memory location representing an emulated “Q” (supplementary accumulator) register with the “normal” 36-bits of the containing word. At the same time, the “upper” 28 bits of the 64-bit containing word is copied into the emulator memory location representing an emulated “A” (accumulator) register. Thus, the emulated 36-bit machine “sees” and can examine the 64-bit word in its entirety. A “Store64” instruction stores the emulated “Q” register contents into the lower 36-bits of the 64-bit containing word, and at the same time stores the lower 28 bits of the emulated “A” register contents into the upper 28 bits of the 64-bit containing word. | 08-28-2008 |

| 20090099834 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR USING STORED DATA ITEMS IN NATIVE DATA FORMATS IN EMULATED E-MODE PROGRAMS - An embodiment of the invention is a technique for enabling an emulator that emulates an e-mode program to utilize stored data items whose values are stored in native data format in native memory. The emulator fetches an item referenced by the e-mode program. The referenced item comprises a tag field and a data field. The emulator determines whether the tag field of the referenced item indicates that the referenced item is an external reference word (ERW). If the tag field of the referenced item indicates that the referenced item is an ERW, the emulator decodes the ERW to obtain a data type and a pointer. The pointer corresponds to a location of a stored data item in native memory. | 04-16-2009 |
| 20090144046 | METHOD TO ENCAPSULATE AN OPTION ROM FOR OPERATION IN MULTIPLE FIRMWARE AND PLATFORM ARCHITECTURES - A method and apparatus described herein are for providing a simplified option Read Only Memory (ROM) that is compatible in multiple firmware and platform architectures.
