发明名称 Method and apparatus for using a driver program executing on a host processor to control the execution of code on an auxiliary processor
摘要 A method and apparatus for using a driver program, executing on a host processor, to control the execution of programs on an auxiliary processor is described. The host processor and auxiliary processor share a storage device. In this storage device, the driver program stores a number of ordered execution control blocks, each containing location information of a corresponding program and execution information for controlling the execution flow on the auxiliary processor. An execution control program, executing on the auxiliary processor, processes the execution control blocks in the order maintained by the driver program. The auxiliary processor processes each execution control block and executes its' corresponding program, taking the action specified by the execution information. In this manner, the driver program indirectly controls the execution of programs on the auxiliary processor.
