Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a multiprocessor system via a single system by attaining a fault tolerant action through the fail-first and fail-functional actions. SOLUTION: The transmitting clock signals existing on a two-way link are supplied to a pair of transmitting and receiving elements in order to demarcate the clock cycles and also to receive the multi-bit words in a processing system which includes the paired transmitting and receiving elements connected to each other for communication of the multi-bit words including the multi-bit data words and multi-bit command words. Then one of paired transmitting and receiving elements transmits the data to the other element in form of a series of multi-bit data words, transmits the multi-bit data words in every clock cycle and transmits the multi-bit command words in every clock cycle and with no sequence.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To facilitate fault-tolerant operation by including a routing element coupled with the central processor and peripheral device of a subprocessing system so as to transmit data between the central processor and peripheral device of the subprocessing system. SOLUTION: Subprocessor systems 10A and 10B include central processors CPUs 12, routers 14, and plural input/output I/O packet interfaces 16 connected to many I/O devices 17 by characteristic input/output NIO buses. The MPs 18 of the subprocessor system 10A and 10B connect IEEE1149. one-test buses 17 and registers used by the MPs 18 to transmit states and control information between elements and MPs 18 to elements of the subprocessor systems through on-line access port OLAP interfaces included in the elements.
