ABSTRACT:
A combiner/memory system interconnects a plurality of computer systems using for example the new HIPPI standard link. The combiner system includes it's own internal storage for rapid shared access to all connected computer systems. The combiner/memory system includes a smart switch for reading header information, arbitrating messsages and connecting computers to each other or to the internal shared storage. The system also includes a mechanism for synchronization of cooperating processes.
