Abstract

A device and method for switching over in a computer system having at least two execution units are provided, in which switchover units are included which are designed in such a way that they switch between at least two operating modes, a first operating mode corresponding to a comparison mode and a second operating mode corresponding to a performance mode. A programmable interrupt controller is assigned to each execution unit, and a storage element is included, in which information is stored that describes at least parts of a configuration of at least one of these interrupt controllers.
