Master and slaverocessor system - has monitoring and test routines and carries out addition processes on words from memory to be checked in cyclic order by control

摘要

The multi-processor system consists of a driving processor and a set of slave processors. Each of the slave processors is allocated a programme and its condition is monitored by the control processor. Monitoring is effected by the results of the instructions given to each processor and by test routines. During the execution of a task by a slave processor (1) at carries out a series of addition processes on words derived from a memory (2). The additions will be checked by the control processor at predetermined time intervals. The slave processors carry out the allocated tasks in cyclic order and the instructions will arrive via a close loop. A control word for each slave processor is read out from a dead memory during the cycle.
