ABSTRACT:
A computer system having two processors and storage where storage is segmented so as to permit simultaneous access by the two processors with the address path of one processor being limited to a particular segment of storage so as to eliminate contention in other segments. One processor can address all segments of storage and place processed data into and retrieve data from the segment of storage accessible by the other processor. This eliminates the need for cycle stealing because the other processor can access processed data or store data while the one processor simultaneously accesses another segment of storage. Storage contention is resolved on the basis of addressing. If both processors are simultaneously trying to address the same segment of storage, the processor which can address all segments of storage is granted the access.
