CHIPSET SUPPORT FOR BINDING AND MIGRATING HARDWARE DEVICES AMONG HETEROGENEOUS PROCESSING UNITS

摘要

PURPOSE: A chipset support for binding and migrating hardware devices among heterogeneous processing units are provided to enable heterogeneous processor to access any kind of integrated hardware device in a chip set or any kind of surrounding hardware device connected to external bus. CONSTITUTION: A device controller routs signals to at least one of devices in a computer from a processing unit without any collision with different processing units. The device controller comprises at least one of the hardware devices(110A,110N) and I/O controller(114). The I/O controller receives address maps from processor(102A,102B). The I/O controller generates global address map by combination of the address maps.
