ABSTRACT:
A computer architecture has a plurality of processing cells interconnected to perform programming tasks. Each cell contains both memory and processing elements. Memory packets contain an instruction, a data element, and a pointer to another memory packet. Tasks are executed by following a linked list of memory packets. Transmission packets communicate instructions and register values along the linked list. A plurality of computer processes may be executed simultaneously.
