ABSTRACT:
A computer design based on a platform of multiple central processing units (CPUs). When running multiple applications, each of the multiple CPUs performs all the processing for one of the individual applications. All of the multiple CPUs may operate below the physical layer of the OSI model. They may communicate with each other in a various manners, and they each communicate with a “gateway” CPU that is logically disposed above them on the physical level. The gateway CPU acts as a door or clearinghouse to and from the underground layer. The processing that occurs by the multiple CPUs on the underground layer allows a higher level of security, reliability, and speed compared to conventional single-CPU multitasking systems.
