ABSTRACT:
A method is provided for adding extended functions to a multiprocessor system, specifically, functions that may be called from programming running on a first processor and executed by a second processor. The function may have an argument that requires a large amount of argument data. Each extended function is associated with a special entry point command, which is in turn, associated with a communications routine that handles the transfer of the large argument data from the first processor to the second processor in bursts.
