The availability of fast, low-cost 16- and 32-bit microprocessors makes it possible at last to build a truly cost-effective generation of fault-tolerant computers. One such system employs a multiprocessor architecture optimized for transaction-oriented applications. Called the synapse expansion architecture, it is tolerant of component failures, may easily be economically expanded in small increments, and is not tied to any one microprocessor instruction set. Yet thanks to the specially developed operating software, neither operators nor programmers are aware of the architecture's uniqueness. The author looks at the architecture of the synapse expansion general purpose computer.
