Method and arrangement for the controlling of the operating process in data processing installations with microprogram control

摘要

A method and apparatus for controlling the operating flow in a data processing installation having a memory control and a micro-program control, controlled by a central clock pulse generator, incorporates a monitoring and test device for monitoring events which interrupt the normal flow and for stopping the normal operation of said clock pulse generator and for instituting a special test cycle controlled by said clock pulse generator and for controlling the operating flow following said special test cycle in response to the results thereof.
