Administration system for multimodular multiprocessor machines

摘要

The system has an independent module (SM) dedicated to global administration of the modules (M1 to Mn) and coupled to each module 'Bring Up Microprocessor' (BUMP) by a first link permitting management of each module from machine start-up to shutdown. The independent module is also connected to each module via a second link, and coupled globally to the machine via a LAN connected to its modules.
