ABSTRACT:
A computer system comprises first and second computer boards, each having a processor, onboard memory, an onboard bus, e.g. a processor bus, and a bus-to-bus bridge for interconnecting the onboard bus with an external bus; the boards have remote slave drivers, and communication drivers, comprising communication management functions, and forming communication chains or channels between the remote slave drivers and the onboard memories.
