  • Patent number: 8443230
    Abstract: Methods and systems for redundant operation of a first and second processor are provided. A set of instructions is executed in parallel on the first and second processors. In response to a first access transaction for a peripheral device being issued from execution of an instruction by the first processor, the first processor suspends operation. In response to the first access transaction being a write transaction, the write transaction is not issued to the peripheral device until the second processor executes the instruction and issues a second access transaction that is equal to the write transaction. In response to the first access transaction being a read transaction, the read transaction is not issued to the peripheral device until the second processor executes the instruction.
