ABSTRACT:
A general purpose computing machine utilizing a hardware executive system controller for reducing software system overhead. The computing machine has a uniprocessor embodiment which enhances system throughput and a multiprocessor embodiment which may be tailored to achieve a high level of concurrent processor operation. The computing machine utilizes a novel programming structure tailored to the machine architecture by separating data transformation tasks from control statements and performing the data transformation task at the processor level while performing the control task in the hardware executive.
