LOGIC UNIT BASED UPON BYZANTINE TYPE ALGORITHM, COMPUTER UNIT WITH THIS KIND OF LOGIC UNIT, COMPOSITE SYSTEM COMPOSED OF LOGIC UNITS OR COMPUTER UNITS, AND METHOD FOR OPERATING THIS KIND OF COMPOSITE SYSTEM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain faster operation and high reliability by connecting each register to one input part which is connected to one output part and one output part respectively so that they can be read in and read out without depending upon the position of a logic unit in a composite system by using position- unchangeable relative identification information. ;SOLUTION: The logic unit BSL is connected to a microprocessor MP through a proper bus B1 and to process data, specially, a process-input part signal and a process-output part signal through the other bus B2 forming a process data interface. To process pieces of input part data synchronously, each logic unit BSL includes a multiplexing function MX, which couples the input part data with the process data interface (bus B2) in sequence. Further, the multiplexing function MX is used to select a free channel.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2000,JPO
