Embodiment 1

[0026] refer to image 3 , an exception handling method between a main processor and a coprocessor interface, the exception handling method comprises the following steps:

[0027] A. When the coprocessor generates an abnormal signal, it notifies the main processor;

[0028] B. The main processor automatically switches to the abnormal coprocessor according to the abnormal signal generated: by backing up the original main processor status register to the main processor status shadow register, the current main processor status register is automatically modified and the generated coprocessor is selected. exception coprocessor;

[0029] C. After the main processor executes the exception service program, when returning through a main processor exception return instruction, the coprocessor before the exception is automatically restored according to the main processor state shadow register.

[0030] In the step A, the process of when the coprocessor generates an abnormal signal: an ...

Embodiment 2

[0044] refer to Figure 1 ~ Figure 2An exception handling device between a main processor and a coprocessor interface includes a main processor and a coprocessor, the coprocessor includes a coprocessor abnormal signal generating unit for generating an abnormal signal; the main The processor includes: a coprocessor selection unit for the main processor to select a corresponding coprocessor according to the indication of the main processor status register; a main processor status register for indicating the coprocessor number selected by the current main processor; The main processor status shadow register used to save the coprocessor number selected by the main processor before the exception occurred; and the main processor exception used to notify the main processor to handle returning from the abnormal state to the normal state after completing the exception service routine Return to the control unit.

[0045] There are at least two coprocessors, and the implementation devic...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for processing the abnormality between a main processor and a coprocessor interface. The method comprises the following steps: A, when the coprocessor generates an abnormal signal, notifying the main processor; B, automatically switching the main processor into the coprocessor generating the abnormality according to a generated abnormal signal; and automatically modifying a current main processor state register and selecting the coprocessor generating the abnormality by backing up an original main processor state register into a main processor state shadow register; and C, when the main processor finishes an abnormal service program and returns by one main processor abnormality returning instruction, automatically recovering the coprocessor before generating the abnormality by the main processor state shadow register. The invention also provides a device for realizing the abnormality processing method. The method and the device can increase the abnormality process speed, has better real-time performance and improves the switching efficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an exception handling method and an implementation device between a processor and at least one coprocessor interface. Background technique [0002] A coprocessor is a processor that extends the main processor and assists the main processor in completing special application processing for different applications and requirements. More and more systems adopt a structure including a main processor and at least one coprocessor, and the main processor plays the role of managing and controlling each coprocessor. [0003] In a system containing multiple coprocessors, while the coprocessors show their amazing computational efficiency and obvious performance improvement, they all try to avoid the specific interface they adopt and the communication between the main processor and the system. Cooperative relationship, when multiple coprocessors frequently generate exceptions, switching between coprocessors is a relatively time-consuming pr...
