MULTI-PROCESSOR COMPUTER SYSTEMS AND METHODS

摘要

Multi-processor computer systems and methods are provided. A multiprocessor computer system can include a plurality of communicatively coupled processors (1101-N), each coupled to a common motherboard (120) and each associated with a memory (1401-N). The system can include a boot code (130) executable from at least one of a standard mode and an independent mode. The plurality of communicatively coupled processors can execute one instance of the boot code in standard mode and at least a portion of the plurality of communicatively coupled processors can execute one instance of the boot code in independent mode.
