摘要
A multiprocessor data processing system includes first and second processors coupled to an interconnect and to a global promotion facility containing at least one promotion bit field. The first processor initiates execution of a branch-type instruction to request acquisition of a promotion bit field exclusive of at least the second processor. In response to the branch-type instruction, the first processor issues an access request to acquire the promotion bit field. After the accessing request, a register of the first processor receives a register bit indicating whether or not the promotion bit field was successfully acquired by the access request. As a part of executing the branch-type instruction, the first processor selects among a first execution path and a second execution path in response to the register bit.
