PCT No. PCT/DE93/00471 Sec. 371 Date Dec. 6, 1994 Sec. 102(e) Date Dec. 6, 1994 PCT Filed Jun. 1, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO93/25966 PCT Pub. Date Dec. 23, 1993A computer system has several interconnected processors each associated with a memory. The memories all have a common storage area to which the processors have access. In order to synchronize changes in the state of operation of the processors and/or to handle processors jobs in a synchronous manner, the first processor to reach a predetermined synchronization point writes a data set in the common storage area, causing interrupt controllers associated with the processors to generate interrupt signals and to initiate changes in the state of operation or synchronous job processing. The invention has applications in multiple processor systems, redundant computer systems and stored program control systems.
