Abstract

The architecture of a special-purpose multiprocessor, hierarchically structured and functionally distributed, having ditributed cache memory for local processing and a common applictions task manager in each microcomputer. A group of identical microcomputers execute the total program in an intrinsically parallel mode within the frame times scheduled by a system state control microcomputer.
