<p>A multiprocessing computer system which includes an interrupt controller coupled to an expansion bus. The programmable interrupt controller has multiple storage locations at the same address for multiple CPUs. The CPUs are coupled to a host bus which in turn is coupled to the expansion bus by means of a bus bridge. An arbiter is coupled to the host bus for arbitrating bus mastership amongst the CPUs. CPU host owner identification for access to the storage locations is transferred across bus bridge to the programmable interrupt controller synchronized with the buffered address and data.</p> |
