Abstract
In a computer platform (PF) comprising at least one unit (M1, M2), each including at least one respective processor (PRO1-PRO2, PRO3-PRO5) and at least one respective interrupt controller (CI1, CI2), and an operating system (SE) including a basic kernel (NOY) for creating extension modules external to said basic kernel, at least one interrupt managing extension module (MEX1, MEX2) external to the basic kernel (NOY) is created in order to relieve the basic kernel of the management of interruptions.
