The system consists of any desired number of independent computer modules (2) with equal priority and independent periphery modules (3) with equal priority, wherein a processor (5) with a local bus and store is contained in each module (2, 3). The computer modules (2) which can work out user and service programs independently by interpreting at least one program language and the periphery modules (3) which can execute independently input-output instructions, or instruction chains are operated together with a general store (4) on common asynchronous bus (1). Operations are divided between the modules (2, 3) so that each module (2, 3) contains only that instruction which it needs to fulfil its special function. Tasks which one module (2, 3) cannot perform itself are passed on via the bus, to a module (2, 3) which is specialized for the purpose. Thus both in the hardware construction and in the operating system, a modular data processing system is afforded which can be extended as desired without alteration or adaptation of the operating system. <IMAGE> |
