Embodiment approach

[0091] Based on the above, an implementation manner of step 503 includes:

[0092] The first grouping module divides each interrupt in the first interrupt group into different queues according to the interrupt response unit corresponding to each interrupt in the first interrupt group (that is, whether each interrupt is output to the processor, accelerator or DMA, etc.). Wherein, a queue corresponds to an interrupt response unit. If the interrupts in the first interrupt group correspond to interrupt response units as processors and accelerators, the first grouping module may divide the interrupts in the first interrupt group into two queues, which are processor queues and accelerator queues. After the interrupts in the first interrupt group are divided into different queues, the first grouping module outputs the interrupt status of the current highest priority interrupt in each queue to the status queue corresponding to the queue in the interrupt controller according to the pri...

Abstract

The invention provides an interrupt handling method, an interrupt controller and a processor. The interrupt handling method includes that the interrupt controller converts interruption of an interrupt source into an interrupt message according to interrupt conversion message information, then the interrupt message is sent to an interrupt response unit, and the interrupt response unit at least comprises one of the processor, an accelerator, a direct memory access (DMA) and a trace unit. The interrupt response unit conducts interrupt response according to the interrupt message. The interrupt controller outputs the interrupt message to all interrupt response units through an interrupt conversion message, software overhead consumed by the interrupt response is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to processor technology, in particular to an interrupt processing method, an interrupt controller and a processor. Background technique [0002] The development of multi-core technology makes the processor system more and more complex, and there are more and more event interactions between modules in the processor. Interrupt controller is a commonly used event (mainly interrupt) forwarding processing module in the processor, and its processing efficiency affects the efficiency of event interaction in the entire processor. Therefore, objectively, the processor needs a high-efficiency interrupt control device. [0003] Currently, the interrupt control architecture in multi-core processors is inherited and evolved from single-core processors. figure 1 It is a structural schematic diagram of a multi-core processor in the prior art. Such as figure 1 As shown, the multi-core processor includes: N processors, M hardware accelerators,...
