PROCESSOR RESET GENERATED THROUGH MEMORY ACCESS INTERRUPTION

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device, a program product, and a method which make effective the resetting of a processor in multiprocessor environment by using a memory access interruption. SOLUTION: A source processor is allowed to start resetting a target processor by generating a reset request and a memory access interruption to the target processor. The target processor is constituted so as to detect the presence of a held reset request, specially, in the processing of a memory access interruption, and consequently the target process performs resetting operation in response to the detection of a request thereby.
