A starting device for at least one processing unit, a computer including such a device, and an associated starting method.

Abstract

Starting device for at least one processing unit, computer comprising such a device and associated starting method. The present invention relates to a starting device (5) for at least one processing unit (7A, 7B) by means of at least one starting program (11A, 11B, 11C, 11D, 11E) stored in at least one memory (9A, 9B, 9C). The starting device (5) comprises a controller (15) and an interface circuit (13). The interface circuit (13) has several link configurations, each link configuration being unique and allowing at least one link to be established between one or more of the memory(ies) (9A, 9B, 9C) and the controller (15) and / or a link between one or more of the memory(ies) (9A, 9B, 9C) and one or more of the processing unit(s) (7A, 7B).The controller (15) is used to configure the interface circuit (13) and to command the startup of each processing unit (7A, 7B) by means of a program to be executed (11A) from among at least one startup program.
