Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a multiprocessor system which can attain the fail-first, fail-functional and fault tolerant actions. SOLUTION: This multiprocessor system includes the sub-processor systems 10A and 10B which have the substantially same constitution. The CPU 12A and 12B of systems 10A and 10B can communicate with the I/O devices 171 to 17n or the CPU of the multiprocessor system via the routing devices 14A and 14B. The communication is performed between the I/O devices and the multiplexed CPUs by means of the messages which are turned into a packet. These CPUs and I/O devices are written into or read out of the CPU of the multiprocessor system. The protection of the CPU memory is maintained by every CPU that has a priority check function of the read/write operations which are carried out against the CPU memory.

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.
