Abstract: A hardware thread causes a SleepID register of a WAKEUP signal generation unit to store a SleepID that identifies the hardware thread when suspending a process due to waiting for a process by another CPU. The WAKEUP signal generation unit causes the WAKEUP data register of the WAKEUP signal generation unit to store a SleepID notified by a node when a process that the hardware thread waits ends. The WAKEUP signal generation unit outputs a WAKEUP signal that cancels the stop of the hardware thread to the hardware thread when the SleepIDs of the SleepID register and the WAKEUP data register agree with each other.

Abstract: An information processing system includes a memory, a controller that reads data from a device coupled thereto and writes the data on the memory, a bridge that couples a system bus and an input output bus, the system bus being coupled to the memory and the processor, the input output bus being coupled to the controller, a check code generator that generates a check code from the data read from the device, and a determining unit that determines whether a second check code generated from the data read from the memory corresponds with the first check code.
