摘要: A computer device comprises a processor for executing plurality of concurrent processes each comprising sequence instructions, memory including RAM, at least one message link having input and output pins connection to separate from said transmitting packets sequentially between the device, communication control circuitry coupled processor, memory, link. The provides addressable virtual links. is operable: (i) in response execution instruction by address selected links load into information regarding be effected via link; (ii) sequential transmission through relating network such devices method operation also described. provision enables several messages multiplexed down single microcomputer.
