发明名称 TIMER CONTROLLER FOR COMPUTER SYSTEM
摘要 PURPOSE:To simplify a operating system OS or job dispatch processing and to reduce an overhead by using a 1st timer updated in all modes and a 2nd timer updated in a VMOS mode.

While the 2nd timer 3 is updated in the VMOS mode only and not in the NVM and VMM modes. An interruption accepting circuit 8 accepts an interruption when the timer 2 is updated with the specified value to inform this interruption to a host OS11 and also accepts the interruption when the timer 3 is updated with the specified value to inform this interruption to the guest OS15, 16 and 17 respectively.
