PROCESSOR BRIDGING IN HETEROGENEOUS COMPUTER SYSTEM

United Kingdom

Overview

A bridge logic device for a heterogeneous computer system that has at least one performance processor, a processor supporting logic supporting the at least one performance processor to execute tasks of the software, and a hypervisor processor consuming less power than the at least one performance processor is disclosed. The bridge logic device comprises a hypervisor operation logic that maintains status of the system under the at least one performance processor; a processor language translator logic that translates between processor languages of the at least one performance and the hypervisor processors; and a high-speed bus switch that has first, second and third ports for relaying data across any two of the three ports bidirectionally. The switch is connected to the at least one performance processor, the hypervisor processor via the processor language translator logic, and to the processor supporting logic respectively at the first, second, and third port.
