Abstract

See full text

According to this invention, an interrupt right control unit transfers an interrupt right to a succeeding processor module. When the processor module has the interrupt right, and the interrupt right control unit receives an interrupt signal, the interrupt right control unit outputs an interrupt signal to a corresponding processor and stops transferring the interrupt right. The corresponding processor then sets the priority levels for the processor modules and performs interrupt processing in response to the interrupt signal. Then the corresponding processor causes the interrupt right control unit to continue the transferring of the interrupt right.
