Abstract
An interface unit for data exchange between a first processor of a computer system and a peripheral environment. The interface unit has a number of input data channels for receiving input data from the peripheral environment and a first access management unit. The access management unit is configured to receive a request for providing the input data, stored in the number of input data channels, from a first interface processor stored in the interface unit and from a second interface processor stored in the interface unit and to provide or not to provide the input data, stored in the number of input data channels, to the first interface processor and the second interface processor. A first priority and a second priority can be stored in the first access management unit.
