Abstract

A computer system architecture includes microcell computing units with a moving memory distribution of data and instructions to the microcells which are connected to users and other peripheral devices via a telephony type of cell access switch. The computing microcell can be a single computing element or can be a nucleus processor which is connected to a number of satellite processors via a bus or star configuration, and which interfaces with the moving memory modules and cell access switch. The moving memory modules are functionally petitioned to include user's files for data, and operating system instructions, and journal files and reservation files, all of which repetitively broadcast the contents of memory via a moving memory bus within dissimilar repetition intervals.
