ABSTRACT:
An invocation architecture for generally concurrent process resolution comprises a plurality of interconnected processors, some of the processors being homogeneous processors and others of the processors being special purpose processors. Each homogeneous processor being capable of invoking a connected processor to have the connected processor resolve instructions. Each processor capable of being invoked by a connected processor to resolve instructions at the invocation of the connected processor.
