DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING INTERRUPTIVE AND EXCEPTIONAL EVENTS IN AN ASYMMETRIC MULTIPROCESSOR ARCHITECTURE

摘要

P Multiple mutually coupled processor device. BR/ The multiprocessor computer device uses an interrupt and exception processing architectural definition in which a processor, called a data or vector processor (206), exhibiting a large machine state and large data width, detects exceptions but returns interrupt and exception processing operations to another processor, called the command processor (204), with a small machine state and a small data width; the small machine state and the small data width of the control processor (204) are well suited to execute operating system programs such as interrupt and exception processing because control programs critically imply control and control of individual indicators. BR/ The device is used for interrupt and exception processing. / P
