ACCESSING ADDITIONAL MEMORY SPACE WITH MULTIPLE PROCESSORS

An apparatus and method is provided for coupling additional memory to a plurality of processors. The method may include determining the memory requirements of the plurality of processors in a system, comparing the memory requirements of the plurality of processors to an available memory assigned to each of the plurality of processors, and selecting a processor from the plurality of processors that requires additional memory capacity. The apparatus may include a plurality of processors, where the plurality of processors is coupled to a logic element. In addition, the apparatus may include an additional memory coupled to the logic element, where the logic element is adapted to select a processor from the plurality of processors to couple with the additional memory.
