SYSTEM FOR TESTING TIGHT-COUPLING MULTIPROCESSOR SYSTEM

摘要

PURPOSE:To reduce the number of operations and to improve evaluation efficiency by providing a start-up central processing unit conversion means which starts up a central processing unit to be started up next according to the decision of a start-up central processing unit managing means and stops the central processing unit being started up at present. CONSTITUTION:When a tight-coupling multiprocessor system 11 is started up by a start-up means 19 at the central processing unit CPU-A 14, a monitor 1 for test is loaded on a memory 12 at that time. The start-up central processing unit managing means 4 performs the test of a started up CPU-A 14 by calling a test scheduling part 6, a test control part 7, and a test program 2. When the test at the CPU-A 14 is completed, a start-up central processing unit switching means 5 starts up a CPU-B 15, and stops the CPU-A 14, and the start-up central processing unit managing means 4 performs the test of the CPU-B 15. Thus, since it is possible to automatically perform the evaluation of the functions of all the central processing units set at logical connecting states successively, an operation is simplified, and evaluation time is shortened.
