A multi-processor system capable of realizing a multicast operation and a check event operation at high speed and high reliability, capable of clearly identifying the malfunctioning processor quickly regardless of a type of the malfunction processor. To realize the multicast operation, the system includes a multicast operation unit in which multicast data to be transferred from the master processor to the slave processors, control data provided in correspondence with the slave processors, and a multicast identification data for identifying a multicast point in the program corresponding to the multicast data are memorized, such that each of the slave processors obtains desired multicast data for desired multicast point according to the memorized multicast data, control data, and multicast identification data. To realize the check event operation, the system includes a check event operation unit in which check data provided in correspondence with the slave processors and an event identification data for identifying a check point in the program corresponding to the check data are memorized, such that each of the slave processors checks a present check point according to the memorized check data and event identification. |
