Abstract

The interprocess communication protocol system provides a generic communication system for communication between specified processes in a complex digital system. In accordance with the interprocess communication protocol, a group of pre-defined communication signals are defined, to which all communications between the processes conform. Interface hardware is disclosed to provide communication between processes. In addition, the communication protocol can be designed into the process as and integral portion of the processes.
