Abstract
A processing system includes a plurality of processors and a bus to carry messages between the processors, wherein each of the processors has an operating instruction memory field holding stored operating instructions including a re-routing target address. Each processor is arranged to receive a message including operating instructions including a current target address and on receipt of the message operate as a current processor arranged to: check whether the current target address corresponds to an address associated with the current processor; if the current target address in the message does correspond to the address associated with the current processor, check the operating instructions in the message to determine whether the message is to be re-routed; and, if the message is to be re-routed, replace operating instructions within the message with the stored operating instructions, and place the message on the bus for delivery to the re-routing target address.
