Abstract
A microcomputer method and system for executing a plurality of concurrent processes provides synchronized message transmission so that data is transmitted between a communicating pair of processes when the two processes are at corresponding program stages. The messages may be variable in length and are transmitted by indicating a source address for the data to be transmitted, a destination address for the data, and a count of the number of standard unit lengths of data to be transmitted in the message.
