Abstract

The paper describes a multi-microcomputer-system based on the VMEbus. Each microcomputer is supported by a mailbox. The mailboxes interface the computers to the VMEbus and provide the communication between themselves. Since the system is designed in a extremly flexible manner, it is particularly suitable for basic investigations on the strategies and behavior of multi-computers arrangements. A detailed description of the system controller, which takes care of the arbitration for the bus requests and of the mailbox will be given. Communication between the several microcomputer is realized through mailboxes. Because the system is extremly flexibly designed, it is particularly suitable for basically investigations.
