PROGRAM CONTROLLED DATA PROCESSING SYSTEM

摘要

A program controlled data processor system which employs functionally equivalent first and second control units on a mutually exclusive basis to control an input-output system. The processor system comprises a plurality of independent memory units and communication between the control means and the independent memory units is by way of communication paths which may be selectively associated with any of the memory units and with either of the control means. The processor arrangement includes means for insuring that the two control means simultaneously carry out identical work functions.
