Abstract
A method used in a multiprocessor computer system for linking extended functions, which are to be called from an application program running on a host processor and executed by a subprocessor, to primitive functions to be executed by the subprocessor. The extended functions may be created independently of the primitive functions, collected in a special partially linked load module, stored, and dynamically linked to other code at run time of the application program.
