Abstract

A digital computer includes a plurality of processing elements, a command processor, a diagnostic processor and a communications network. The processing elements each performs data processing and data communications operations in connection with commands. The processing elements also performing diagnostic operations in response to diagnostic operation requests and providing diagnostic results in response thereto. The command processor generates commands for the processing elements, and also performs diagnostic operations in response to diagnostic operation requests and providing diagnostic results in response thereto. The diagnostic processor generates diagnostic requests. The communication network includes three elements, including a data router, a control network and a diagnostic network. The data router is connected to the processing elements for facilitating the transfer of data among them during a data communications operation. The control network is connected to the processing elements and the command processor for transferring commands from the command processor to the processing elements. The diagnostic network connected to the processing elements, the command processor and…
