METHOD AND DEVICE FOR SWITCHING BETWEEN OPERATING MODES OF A MULTIPROCESSOR SYSTEM BY MEANS OF AT LEAST ONE EXTERNAL SIGNAL

摘要

The invention relates to a method for switching in a computer system comprising at least two execution units (110a, 110b). It is possible to switch between at least two operating modes, a first operating mode corresponding to a comparison mode and a second operating mode corresponding to a performance mode. The invention is characterised in that the switching is triggered by at least one signal (160) generated outside the computer system.
