Error function data detector in multiprocessor system - reduces load on processors with no errors by interrupting only affected units for data gathering

摘要

The device for detecting error function information in a multiprocessor system contains a service processor. Each system processor determines whether an indicated fault is present in all processors or only in the unit in which it was detected. A further device only halts the unit with the indicated fault when the fault is only indicated in that unit. The service processor acquired the information only for the unit with the fault without interrupting the other units. USE/ADVANTAGE - Error function detection arrangement reduces the load on processors in which no error is detected.
