Device for enhancing the performance of a real time executive kernel associated with a multiprocessor structure that can include a large number of processors

摘要

A device for enhancing the performance of a real time executive kernel associated with a multiprocessor structure possibly comprising a large number of processors comprises a real time operator behaving, as seen from the processor of the structure, like a memory area. The real time operator sends and receives data to be processed, generates communication control signals and manages the real time context of the processors of the structure. It comprises a plurality of identical hardwired real time operator circuits accessible simultaneously by the processors of the structure but each associated with one only of said processors. The device can be used even if the structure comprises a large number of processors.
