MULTIPLEX PROCESSOR TYPE CONTROL APPARATUS AND METHOD

摘要

The present invention is a designated master processor in a multiprocessor machine control providing for the selective reset of the processors of the system in response to a system abnormality or software crash. Separate reset circuitry is provided with the master processor to provide separate reset signals to each of the other processors. Upon detection of the particular processor undergoing the crash, the master processor selectively activates the reset circuitry for that particular processor.
