Recent advances in MUP technology, coupled with a flood of new and sophisticated VLSI peripheral components, have created the building blocks necessary to develop a new generation of MUC systems. This new generation, by employing the concept of a distributed intelligent architecture, will address such high performance requirements as communications concentrators, multiplexors, emulators, database processors, transaction processors and multi-user data processing systems. In particular the author looks at the metapaket architecture (MPA) which features a high performance hardware and firmware message passing facility resident on a new generation of multibus processor and intelligent peripheral controller devices. The metapaket design philosophy allows a multibus-based system to be used in applications typically reserved for other more costly solutions.
