Patent attributes
A computer system, being a stack bus system in which a plurality of computer modules are stacked and connected to one another and being capable of automatically matching and allocating bus resources such as clocks and interrupts, is provided. In the computer system including one system module and n peripheral modules, each peripheral module includes an interrupt selector, a clock selector, an arbitration signal selector, a resource decision unit, and a position identification unit. The position identification unit cooperates with a position configuration unit present in the system module to identify a position of the module, which includes the position identification unit, in the computer system, and autonomously decides bus resources used by the module. By allowing the interrupt selector, the clock selector, and the arbitration signal selector to select and use the decided bus resources, each peripheral module can match and configure the bus resources in the computer system.
