A Multi-processor computer wherein each processor (220) is associated with a single independent computer (200) and each computer is connected to all other computers in a connectionist topology. Preferably each independent computer is self-contained, hot-swappable and rack mounted. A front end computer system distributes processes to each of the independent computers (200) wherein the independent computers function synchronously or asynchronously, as is required by the particular distributed process. A high-capacity secondary storage system, preferably a RAID system, is implemented to replicate the information stored on the several independent computers so that in the event one of the independent computers is swapped, the replacement independent computer can be updated from the high-capacity secondary storage system. |
