Abstract
A method synchronizes the operation of a plurality of multicore processors. A first and a second multicore processor each have a main processor core and at least one secondary processor core that is used for executing utility programs. Only the main processor cores of the various multicore processors synchronize to one another. The at least one secondary processor core is controlled by the respective main processor core in each multicore processor. The utility programs are processed by the at least one secondary processor core and outputs are generated that are made available to the respective main processor core of the same multicore processor. Outputs from the multiplicity of multicore processors are then output in sync by the respective main processor core.
