A digital computer has an addressable store 1, which may comprise segments 1a, 1b, etc. and a plurality of independent digital processing units 3a, 3b, etc. all communicating with the store 1 through a communication facility 2. Addresses in store 1 containing packets of digital data which require processing are held in a group of identifier stores 4a, 4b, etc. to which group the processing units all have access. Where processing results in the generation of fresh packets of data addresses for such data in store 1 are held in a second group of identifier stores 5a, 5b to which the processing units also have access. Controllers 6a, 6b, etc. and 7a, 7b, etc. ensure even transfer of identifier address among the stores of a group and act as interfaces between the identifier stores and the processing units.
