INSTRUCTION SET
3.12.3 DATA ABORTS
If the address used for the swap is unacceptable to a memory management system, the memory manager can
flag the problem by driving ABORT HIGH. This can happen on either the read or the write cycle (or both), and in
either case, the data abort trap will be taken. It is up to the system software to resolve the cause of the problem,
then the instruction can be restarted and the original program continued.
3.12.4 INSTRUCTION CYCLE TIMES
Swap instructions take 1S + 2N +1I incremental cycles to execute, where S, N and I are defined as squential (S-
cycle), non-sequential, and internal (I-cycle), respectively.
