A system for controlling multiple processors, each of which controls a group of hardware devices. Each processor is equipped with storage space for a database. A single, shared, database circulates among the processors, and only a single processor receives the database at any given time. All processors are idle, except when the database arrives. Upon arrival, the receiving processor (1) reads data it needs from the database, (2) uses that data as input, (3) performs computation using the input, (4) produces output which is used to both (a) control its hardware and (b) add data to the database, (5) transfers the modified database to the next processor, and (6) becomes inactive. This sequence is repeated by all processors.
