Abstract
A multi-processor system having a shared program memory includes: a plurality of processors; a plurality of local memories which are respectively dedicated to the processors; a global memory which can be accessed by all of the processors; a program memory for storing a program which may be read and executed by each of the processors; a system bus for transferring data between the processors and the global memory, or between the processors and the program memory; and a memory switch for connecting the system bus to the program memory after a system reset, and to the global memory after allocating an identification number of each of the processors. Accordingly, it is easy to implement a multi-processor system in a restricted space area (for example, in a VME system).
