Abstract

Described herein is a detachable multi-host computing system (100) having multiple host processors running different operating systems. In one implementation, the multi-host computing system (100) includes a detachable unit (102) and a base unit (104). Each of the detachable unit (102) and the base unit (104) includes an MR-IOV switch and a MR-PCIM for controlling the MR-IOV switch. In one embodiment, the MR-PCIM for both the detachable unit (102) and the base unit (104) is configured such that a single MR-PCIM switch may be used for enumerating peripheral devices connected to the detachable unit (102) and the base unit (104) when the detachable unit (102) and the base unit (104) are in an attached mode.
