Zusammenfassung:A method and apparatus of allowing processors of different speeds to be used in a multi-processor system are disclosed. The method and apparatus comprise a programmable array logic (PAL) or field programmable gate array (FPGA) that detects each of the processors maximum speed and selects a speed common to all of the processors as the operating speed of the processors. The method and apparatus also adjust the system clock to match the speed of the processors.
