A multi-processor programmable interrupt controller system which includes: an I/O interrupt controller for receiving interrupt requests from an I/O subsystem; multiple processor interrupt controllers, each associated with a specific processor for dispensing of accepted interrupts; and an interrupt controller bus primarily for the transmission of interrupt requests between interrupt controller units and for priority arbitration, using a standard message format and arbitration protocol.
