A computing system may implement a method for creating a first subdomain by configuring one of a first plurality of slave nodes as a first subdomain master node and configuring one or more other slave nodes of the first plurality of slave nodes as first subdomain slave nodes to the first subdomain master node.

Master-slave communication with subdomains

In a system with a master processor and slave processors, sync points are used in boot instructions. While executing the boot instructions, the slave processor determines whether the sync point is enabled. In response to determining the sync point is enabled, the slave processor pauses execution of the boot instructions, waits for commands from the master processor, receives commands from the master processor, executes the received commands until a release command is received, and then continues to execute boot instructions. In response to determining the sync point is not enabled, the slave processor continues to execute boot instructions.
