Abstract
An apparatus includes processor circuitry to perform data processing operations. Interface circuitry forms a connection to a plurality of other apparatuses and receives a foreign exception message indicative of a foreign exception event having been triggered on one of the other apparatuses. In response to receiving the foreign exception message, the interface circuitry forwards the foreign exception message to a set of the plurality of other apparatuses.
Claims19
An apparatus comprising:
- processor circuitry to perform data processing operations;
- interface circuitry adapted to form a connection to a plurality of other apparatuses and to receive a foreign exception message indicative of a foreign exception event having been triggered on one of the other apparatuses, wherein
