Apparatus and method for generating interrupt signal that supports multi-processor

摘要

A method for generating an interrupt signal in a memory controller and supporting a multi-processor is provided. Whether an access for a determined memory region occurs is determined. When the access for the determined memory region occurs, whether the access for the determined memory region has a right is determined. When the access for the determined memory region has the right, a core that will generate an interrupt signal is determined. The determined core is requested to generate the interrupt signal.

1. A method for generating an interrupt signal in a multi-processor comprising a plurality of cores, the method comprising:
accessing a memory address; determining, by a Modified Memory Unit (MMPU), a memory region that corresponds to the accessed memory address, when the access to the memory address has occurred; determining, by the MMPU, a core, among the plurality of cores, that corresponds to the determined memory region; and transmitting, by the MMPU, the interrupt signal to the corresponding core according to the memory access.
