Multiprocessor system with daisy-chained processor selection
A multiprocessor system is described comprising: a bus, a master operation processing unit connected to the bus for generating on the bus data to be processes and a command for processing the data, slave operation processing units connected to the bus for receiving the data and the command from the master operation processing unit. The salve operation processing unit includes a priority discriminator which sequentially selects the slave operation processing units in a preset priority sequence. The priority discriminator also includes means for determining conditions of each of the slave operation processing units and means for initiating execution of the command in the first slave operation processing units selected in the preset priority sequence which has its determined conditions meeting preselected conditions. The initiated slave operation processing unit includes means for processing the data in accordance with the command.
