ABSTRACT:
A multiprocessor system is disclosed wherein optimum utilization of all active processors is achieved for processing of static task packets. Active processors in a multiprocessor system independently fetch tasks from a central task control table of common memory for processing. The processors wait at a synchronization point until the conditions determined by the synchronization point have been satisfied.
