controller device of the mass memory unit box of a single central bus multiprocessor.

摘要

The invention relates to a handler device for mass-memory units (2, 3, 4) comprising electronic boards (DAx, DHx) for coupling at least one peripheral element (2, 3, 4, 5), namely at least one electronic coupling board (DHx) of at least one external host computer (5) and at least one electronic coupling board (DAx, DHx) of at least one mass- memory unit (2, 4) or of at least one assembly of mass-memory units, these electronic coupling boards (DAx, DHx) being connected to a bus (9) and allowing the connection of the said peripheral element (2, 3, 4, 5) to the handler device (1), characterised in that each electronic coupling board (DAx, DHx) includes at least one main processor which manages the operation of the various components of the electronic coupling board (DAx, DHx) and allows the various electronic coupling boards (DAx, DHx) to talk over the bus (9) in a multiprocessor environment.
