| 摘要 |
This disclosure relates to a multiprocessing system including two or more processing units, I/O control units and so forth which are arranged in independent processing groups. Each of the processing groups is provided with a representative means to receive a system configuration code which specifies the particular subsystem to which that processing group is to be joined. The representative means transmits its code to the corresponding representative means of the other processing groups and receives codes of the other processing groups in return. Processing groups having the same code are then interconnected as a subsystem. If a processing group is not available, it does not transmit its code to the other processing groups and, thus, is not recognized by the other processing groups. In this manner, the respective subsystems are permissively formed of only those active processing groups which are available. |
