DISTRIBUTED SIGNAL PROCESSING SYSTEM Abstract A distributed, fault-tolerant, self-repairable, reconfigu- rable signal processing system with redundant elements com- prising signal processors, mass memories and input-output con- trollers interconnected by redundant busses forming a high reliability system. The input-output controller element has redundant busses for interconnecting multiple fault-tolerant distributed signal processing systems into a network configu- ration. One signal processor element in a system is initi- ally designated as the executive and assigns processing tasks from a mass memory to the other elements or other systems. When a failure is detected, the executive verifies the failure, isolates the faulty element and reassigns the task to another spare element. If another element is not available, the exec- utive reconfigures the system to permit degraded operation using the available elements. The executive element, itself, is fault monitored by one of the other elements which is capa- ble of assuming the role of executive as required. The fault- tolerant and reconfiguration capabilities of the system result from a virtual addressing technique for each element, a dis- tributed bus arbitration method and a two-level distributed operating system.
