PARTITIONING CIRCUIT EMPLOYING EXTERNAL INTERRUPT SIGNAL

摘要

Disclosed is a first switching means for combining and changing partitionable units in a data processing system to form partitioned systems each of which is assigned to a given application such as real time, batch or maintenance, and a second switching means coupled to said first switching means so that each time a partitioning change is made by said first switching means, the second switching means will be switched to generate an EI signal to automatically notify the processor of such change so that the necessary adaptive changes can be made without human intervention.
