Distributed computing environment using real-time scheduling logic and time deterministic architecture

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A system is presented for a plurality of computer nodes in mutual data communication to execute logic in a coordinated manner. The approach features aligning the definition of the time in the nodes so that each node has essentially the same definition of time,defining a schedule of communications for each computer node, with the schedule having future moments defined for initiating each communication, communicating each schedule to its respective node, and initiating each communication at the time defined in the schedule. The computer network has a message carrier supporting multiple communication paths; a plurality of computers coupled to the message carrier a clock system , for …
