PROCESSOR SYSTEM, ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM AND CONTROL METHOD

摘要

A processor system includes a master processor that successively processes a plurality of tasks, a checker processor that successively processes at least one of the plurality of tasks, and a control circuit that performs control so that the checker processor operates when the master processor and the checker processor perform a lock-step operation, and the checker processor stops its operation when the master processor and the checker processor do not perform the lock-step operation, the lock-step operation being an operation in which each of the master and checker processors processes the same task, in which the control circuit performs control so that a period from when a task is processed by the lock-step operation to when another task is processed in the next lock-step operation is equal to or shorter than a maximum test period, the maximum test period being a test period acceptable to the processor system.

1. A processor system comprising:
a master processor that successively processes a plurality of tasks; a checker processor that successively processes at least one of the plurality of tasks; and a control circuit that performs control so that the checker processor operates when the master processor and the checker processor perform a lock-step operation, and the checker processor stops its operation when the master processor and the checker processor do not perform the lock-step operation, the lock-step operation being an operation in which each of the master processor and the checker processor processes the same task, wherein the control circuit performs control so that a period from when a task is processed by the lock-step operation to when another task is processed in the next lock-step operation is equal to or shorter than a maximum test period that is predetermined, the maximum test period being a test period acceptable to the processor system.
