ABSTRACT:
A processing apparatus in a system in which a plurality of processing apparatuses are interconnected via a transmission medium. The apparatus includes a processor for requesting an access by outputting a virtual address, a local memory connected to the processor without an intermediary of the transmission medium and a first address convertor for converting the virtual address from the processor into a first real address for accessing the local memory. A second address convertor converts the virtual address from the processor into a first intermediate address, and outputs the first intermediate address to the transmission medium. A third address convertor converts a second intermediate address brought via the transmission medium to the processing apparatus from another one of the plurality of processing apparatuses, into a second real address for accessing the local memory.
