Abstract
The setting of interruption initiatives is directly initiated by external adapters. An adapter external to the processors at which the initiative is to be made pending sends a request directly to a system controller coupled to the adapter and the processors. The system controller then broadcasts a command to the processors instructing the processors to set the interruption initiative.
