METHOD, PROCESSOR SYSTEM, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM (METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PROCESSING ERROR INFORMATION AND INJECTING ERROR IN PROCESSOR SYSTEM)

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and a device for injecting an error to functional units in a processor system for observing a non-injected error occurring in the functional units.

SOLUTION: A local error handler layer performs error injection on various functional units in a local level. A global failure isolation register FIR layer connects to the local error handler layer to regulate local error processing in a plurality of functional units of the processor system. A software debugger application or system software communicates with the global FIR layer to control the error processing.
