The present invention describes a multi-processor computer system (10) based on dataflow principles. The present invention relates to distributed processing in a shared memory computer and provides a memory controller (14) that is able to perform logical and arithmetic operations on memory (15) on behalf of a processor (11), each memory leaf having its own controller. A processor need only make a single memory transaction to perform complex operations and does not need critical sections in order to resolve memory contention. |
