Abstract
An interrupt signal is provided to a target processor. An interrupt signal is received with an interrupt target ID identifying a processor as a target processor for handling the interrupt signal. The interrupt signal is forwarded to the target processor for handling. A translation of the interrupt target ID to a logical processor ID of the target processor is used to address the target processor directly. The bus attachment device updates a directed interrupt signal indicator of a directed interrupt signal vector assigned to the target processor in order to indicate that there is an interrupt signal addressed to the respective interrupt target ID to be handled.
