Abstract
A power down control mechanism for multiprocessor computer systems. A power down register is maintained for providing a power down control signal to the multiple processing units in the multiprocessing system. Individual processing units can be selectively onlined or offlined as needed. In addition, during system initialization, the power down mechanism of the present invention can be used for onlining additional processors and also used for preventing faulty processors from attempting to become the system's boot system processor.
