METHOD AND DEVICE FOR SWITCHING IN A COMPUTER SYSTEM COMPRISING AT LEAST TWO EXECUTION UNITS

摘要

The invention relates to a method and a device for switching in a computer system comprising at least two execution units. It is possible to switch between at least two operating modes corresponding to states of the computer system, a first state corresponding to a comparison mode and a second state corresponding to a performance mode. Events can occur, by which means the computer system may assume an otherwise undefined state. The invention is characterised in that, if such events occur, the computer system assumes the second state which corresponds to a performance mode.
