6. System Interface Operations

6.6 Connecting to an External Agent

In a uni- or multiprocessor system using dedicated external agents, the System interface connects to a single external agent.

In a multiprocessor system using the cluster bus (see below), the system can connect up to four R10000 processors to an external agent. This external agent is referred to as the cluster coordinator.
