This technology concerns a processor capable of handling external service requests through a symmetric interface. More specifically, it is a processor architecture that processes external service requests using a symmetric interface.
Conventional technologies faced the challenge of performance degradation and complexity in multiprocessor systems, necessitating a processor capable of handling external service requests without IRQ pins and interrupt controllers. This technology addresses this by proposing a processor architecture that includes a symmetric interface, a service control point, and an internal buffer for storing and processing service requests.
Accordingly, this technology can improve the efficiency and performance of multiprocessor systems by providing a processor capable of handling external service requests without requiring IRQ pins and interrupt controllers. It has valuable applications in the fields of semiconductors, equipment, electronic components, and software.
