Complementary concurrent cooperative multi-processing multi- tasking processing system using shared memories with a minimum of four complementary processors

摘要

The system concept of the C3M2 System is to have the capability of providing a Processor for each major processing step of automated data processing, i.e. if you have four steps then you need a minimum of four but it could be 8 or 12 or 16 processors. The four major complementary functions encompass the four major functions of data processing (Input/Output, Data Computation, Storage and User I/F). The system shall be Multi-tasking for each step. Source headers, link lists and entity or object identifiers are the methods that shall be used for identity of the different classes, types and objects for the variety of data in the system. The source and data type are contained in the source header. The class and type identity are contained in the object identifiers. The multi-tasking would be by schedule (interleaved by priority). This was selected instead of cycle sharing for improved concurrency.
