Abstract
A multiprocessor memory managing system and method make it possible for a series of instructions corresponding to a data set, which is sequentially renewed by a series of data, to be sequentially executed by a multiprocessor with small overhead. More specifically, the system and method provide a procedure dealing with a data set which is sequentially renewed by a series of data having a sequence, in which snap shots of the data set at arbitrary points of time are assigned to element processors of a multiprocessor at a high speed to execute instructions corresponding to the snap shots in an efficient and parallel fashion. The apparatus includes a master memory and first and second slave memories for storing renewable data. The first and second slave memories are alternately locked and read for snapshots of the renewable data.
