Abstract
Disclosed is a computer system utilizing an interface unit for routing the information exchanged between processor units and memory units, in a temporal multiplex manner whereby the exclusive access of any one processor to any memory proceeds concurrently with the exclusive access of another processor to another memory. The system includes at least two independently operable processors and at least two independently addressable and separately operable memories, the latter being connected to the former through the interface unit.
