MULTIPROCESSOR COMPUTER SYSTEM COMPRISING N PARALLEL OPERATING COMPUTER MODULES, AND COMPUTER MODULE FOR USE IN SUCH A MULTIPROCESSOR COMPUTER SYSTEM

18 "Multiprocessor computer system comprising n paralleloperating computer modules, and computer module for use in such a multiprocessor computer system". A multiprocessor computer comprises n paralleloperating computer modules which each comprise a processor module, a memory module and a data word reconstruction module. The data words are applied to a reducing encoder so that code symbols stored in the relevant computer modules form a code word. The relevant error-correction code has a simultaneous correction capability in at least two code symbols. Each data word reconstruction module receives the entire code word in order to reconstruct the data word therefrom. Each computer module also comprises an input/output memory module. This module receives a coded data word which is decoded when it is presented again. Decoding is performed so that each bit in the input/output memory is mapped on at the most one bit of the associated memory module.
