When one of the processors fails the data is lost and the entire , chain is left blocked for a considerable period. According to the inventive method, this problem is solved by forming another chain in which significant status-related data is transferred to the following processor. When restarted the processor which failed can then reload said data and resume the status that it had before the failure.
