[Oberon] Multiprocessor interconnect design and programming

[Skulski, Wojciech]

Srinivas:

how about N.Wirth "Computer System Design", page 43. The paper is available from:

https://www.inf.ethz.ch/personal/wirth/FPGA-relatedWork/index.html
The TRM: Experiments in Computer System Design

PART 4
Multiprocessor-systems and interconnects 43
Point-to-point connection: The buffered channel 43
The ring structure 44
The implementation of a token ring 46
A software driver 48
A test setup 49
Broadcast 50
Discussion

This is not how people do these things, but perhaps it describes how thy could be doing it.

Dear All,

Recently I am little curious to know how two processors work together...
Say on a single board, two x86 processors are sitting...
How they will work under a single OS...
How generally such multiple processors get connected on one board
and how they get initialize and work under one OS, how OS gets the other cpu work...
Not much from hardware point of view, but from a OS designer point of view on multiprocessor system...

Is there any good book that teaches us about these?
I see all books discuss on single processor systems...

I asked in IRC channels, but they couldn't help either...
Any help?


With thanks and best regards,

Yours sincerely,
Srinivas Nayak
