SCALABLE MULTI-PROCESSOR SYSTEM FOR REAL TIME APPLICATIONS IN COMMUNICATIONS ENGINEERING

摘要

The invention relates to an arrangement for processing data in accordance with real time requirements which can be flexibly adapted to the modified tasks. According to the invention, a processor (MP) is interactively connected to each of the following by a local bus (LB): a first access part of a receive memory (RMDP) with dual access, a first access part of a transmit memory (TMDP) with dual access and a peripheral bus (PB). A support device (SU) is connected to the second access part of the receive memory, to the second access part of the transmit memory, to the local bus, to a receive unit (RI) and to a transmission unit (TI). The local bus and the support device are connected by the peripheral bus to a data processing device (HOST) with an external memory. The inventive arrangement has a scalable processor base system that supports the processor in data management and processing and that is optimised for connection-oriented data streams, in order to increase capacity. This ensures the excellent programmability of real time-critical functions in telecommunications technology.
