Abstract
A link based system including a plurality of processors is reset when transitioning from a slower speed to a higher speed mode during a booting process. One processor may coordinate the simultaneous establishment of link resetting of a plurality of other processors. In one embodiment, the processors may operate beginning with the farthest processor to reset their local links. Each processor sets its local links and if it determines, based on the speed of the link that the link has already been reset, it moves on to the next link.
