DECENTRALIZED DATA-PROCESSING SYSTEM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a multi-node data processing system which can quickly dispatch a control message even when a long data message exists. SOLUTION: In a distributed data processing system containing a plurality of nodes which are connected to each other through a two-way communication link, each node has a control message line 24 for handling control messages, a control memory for storing the control messages, a data message line for handling data messages, and a data memory for storing the data message. A processor in each node dispatches a data messages from the data memory simultaneously with the queuing of the data message line and dispatches a control message from the control memory simultaneously with the queuing of the control message line 24.
