Abstract

In a data processing system, a plurality of modules connected to a system bus thereof are assigned with identifiers. When a source module initiates a split read access to another module, the source module sends an address of the access destination module and an identifier of the source module. When sending a response to the source module, the destination module returns response data and the identifier of the source module thereto. Checking the identifier from the destination module, the source module determines the response data returned as a response to the initiated access.
