Multiprocessor system based on microprocessors, with individual and common memory environments, for parallel writing and reading of information: &cirf& One processor writes to one memory, while a second processor reads from the other memory of a memory pair. &cirf& The assignment of memories to processors is exchanged; the read memory becomes the write memory and vice versa. &cirf& The repeated read-write cycles are interrupt-controlled, and begin at the earliest possible moment, determined by the processor which completes its memory access last. &cirf& The memory switching to one processor is done via special memory switches, and the access itself is implemented via a processor-specific address range. &cirf& Special control lines take care of signal exchange between processors. &cirf& A complete multiple processor system has at least two processors, a program processor and a loading processor, and at least two memory pairs, one to handle program units and one for data transmission. <IMAGE>
