Abstract
A multi-system interconnect facility in which each central processor complex in the system has an assigned storage space for each other central processor complex in the system for use in communicating with each other central processor complex. The allegiance or association of systems to particular storage spaces is established when each system is initialized and enables a simple interface between user program(s) and message passing hardware consisting primarily of instructions for moving control and data blocks between the program addressable space and the hardware addressable space.
