System for reducing electrical wiring in complex apparatus, such as vehicles and aircraft

摘要: A system for controlling multiple processors, each of which controls a group hardware devices. Each processor is equipped with storage space database. single, shared, database circulates among the and only single receives at any given time. All processors are idle respect to database, except when arrives. Upon arrival, receiving (1) loads fresh copy circulating into memory, (2) updates current values from its inputs, (3) using as input, performs computation, (4) produces output used both (a) control (b) add data (5) transfers modified next processor, (6) becomes inactive This sequence repeated by all processors. While not actively working free perform other tasks.
