Abstract
A distributed computer system comprising a plurality of engines where each engine is useable to form a separate, integrated computer system. The distributed computer system is the functional equivalent of the separate, integrated computer system. An engine on a computer chip has mappable I/O pins that provide selective and mappable access to internal chip locations. A mapper is provided on the chip for mapping the I/O pins. One or more chips with mappable pins are employed to form a computer engine.
