System and method for processing data in a series of computers

摘要

A series of computers includes a first and a last computer. Each of the computers except the first is preceded by a prior computer and each except the last is followed by a subsequent computer. A logic reads new data via a first data path and a logic writes old data via a second data path. A logic process the new data to produce the old data and, except for the last computer, a storage element stores the old data. The logic to write operates after the logic to read and the logic to write operates before the logic to process.
