MULTIPROCESSOR CALCULATOR SYSTEM CONTAINING N PARALLEL OPERATING CALCULATOR MODULE AND CALCULATOR MODULE FOR USE IN SUCH A SYSTEM MULTIPROCESSOR CALCULATOR.

摘要

A multiprocessor computer system having n parallel-operating computer modules which each include a processor module, a memory module and a data word reconstruction module, wherein each module of said system processes the same piece of data simultaneously and in parallel. The data words are applied to a reducing encoder so that code symbols stored in the relevant computer modules form a code word. The relevant error-correction code has a simultaneous correction capability in at least two code symbols. Each data word reconstruction module receives the entire code word in order to reconstruct the data word therefrom. Each computer module also has an input/output memory module. This module receives a coded data word which is decoded when it is presented again. Decoding is performed so that each bit in the input/output memory is mapped on at the most one bit of the associated memory module.
