Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To add no delay to access by providing an error inspecting function and performing error inspection by an interface so that no influence is exerted on performance. SOLUTION: A data processing system 10 is equipped with two subprocessor systems 10A and 10B which have substantially the same structure and functions. Each of the subprocessor systems 10A and 10B includes a central processing unit(CPU) 12, a router 14, and plural I/O packet interfaces 16 coupled with many I/O devices 17. The pair of CPUs 12 is each equipped with an interface device. Those interface devices receive specific parts of N-bit data words from the other interface devices to which an error signal detected by miscomparison should be asserted and compare them with specific parts of N-bit data words received from the corresponding CPUs 12.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To check the error of a processor at an interface spot without affecting the processor performance by providing a specific table means and also a means which receives a message from a peripheral device and decides whether the access should be permitted to a memory means based on the received message. SOLUTION: The routers 14A and 14B are connected to the subprocessor systems 10A and 10B, and the I/O packets 16A and 16B are connected to the routers 14A and 14B respectively. This device of such a constitution has a table means which includes plural entries to discriminate permission of the access to a part of a memory means against one of its peripheral devices. Therefore, the message packet sent via an I/O has the information on the originator and the destination. Then a receiving CPU refers to the external source that is permitted to access its memory via an access propriety check and a conversion (AVT) table and checks whether the access is permitted or not.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To execute the error check of a processor so as not to affect performance at the spot of an interface. SOLUTION: Routers 14A and 14B are connected to sub processor systems 10A and 10B which are one duplex pair of this multiprocessor system and I/O packet interfaces 16A and 16B are connected to the routers. Message packets are copied by the routers and sent by a method for ensuring the synchronization of the both of the pair. Since interruption issued from an I/O element is provided with the information of the cause of the interruption and transmitted by the message packet similarly to other information transfer, protection by the CRC(cyclic redundancy check) of the interruption is performed and the need of deciding the cause from a CPU side is eliminated. The message packet sent through the I/O is provided with the information of an originator and a destination and a reception CPU refers to an external source for permitting access to the memory by an access propriety check and conversion (AVT) chart and checks whether or not the access is allowed.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To facilitate fault-tolerant operation by including a routing element coupled with the central processor and peripheral device of a subprocessing system so as to transmit data between the central processor and peripheral device of the subprocessing system. SOLUTION: Subprocessor systems 10A and 10B include central processors CPUs 12, routers 14, and plural input/output I/O packet interfaces 16 connected to many I/O devices 17 by characteristic input/output NIO buses. The MPs 18 of the subprocessor system 10A and 10B connect IEEE1149. one-test buses 17 and registers used by the MPs 18 to transmit states and control information between elements and MPs 18 to elements of the subprocessor systems through on-line access port OLAP interfaces included in the elements.
