A system of connecting a plurality of independently operable data processor systems (12, 13, 14) to obtain a substantial increase in power and flexibility. Each of the pluralities of independently operable systems has its own memory (15, 16, 17), and the respective memories are accessible by a data transfer controller (10) connected to each memory by a common bus (18). Since all data transfer activity is controlled by the data transfer controller, there is no need for any communication between respective independently operable data processor systems, and in one embodiment of the invention, the data transfer controller has its own separate memory (11) to store data temporarily as it becomes available in one memory which will be needed by another data processor system. |
