A multiple computer system incorporating a redundant memory architecture is disclosed. Memory locations ( 0 - 99 , A-C) stored on one machine (C 1 , M 1 ) are stored on the hierarchically adjacent machines (C 2 , M 2 ) and maintained updated. In the event of the failure of only one machine, the hierarchically adjacent machine has the memory locations of the failed machine and is able to resume or take over the computational tasks of the failed machine thereby providing a measure of redundancy. Both distributed memory systems (DSM) and replicated memory system (RSM) are disclosed. In particular, a partially replicated memory system, structure, and method for replicating in using the same, are all disclosed.
