Abstract
A multi-computer system having a dual common memory adapted to perform Read/Write operations by means of a plurality of computers. Each computer in the system consists of a central processing unit, a main memory and a dual memory access unit. The dual memory access unit is adapted to provide a status signal representative of whether the data from the common memory is correct or not and a maintenance signal representative of whether a maintenance operation is demanded. A memory access is made only to the common memory demanding the maintenance when the program run by the computer is a maintenance program, and only to the normal common memory during the usual operation.
