Resetting multiple processors in a computer system

摘要: Two design variations which allow multiple processors to start up using a single ROM are disclosed. In each design, single, primary processor is allowed perform complete POST while the remaining, secondary directed in course of their more limited initialization sequence. At power on, begins normal POST, held until vector placed into redirection location. Each then subsequently started, its own code located at address indicated by vector. The first technique applicable general multiprocessor systems because implementation this can be run either from external software or an addition operating system particular machine on it being used. second specifically oriented system, and includes use identity register differentiate between processors.
