Abstract

An apparatus and method of intercomputer communications based on message broadcast with receiver selection is taught. A distributed computer system is described in which each computing element includes a hardware message filter which provides content tag recognition and selection. The overall system architecture allows software modularity and both hardware and software extensibility. The message filter can be preset or dynamically programmed, and can be operated in conjunction with a serial or parallel broadcast bus.
