ABSTRACT:
A multiprocessor system includes a segmentable parallel bus for dividing the multiprocessor system into several independent groups of processors. Each group of processors can access its segment of the segmentable parallel bus to carry on processing within the group simultaneously and independently of processing occurring in another group of processors on another segment of the segmentable bus. The multiprocessor system of this invention further has the capability to reconfigure the segments and processors associated therewith in order to cope with a failed processor or bus segment.
