Abstract :
MLLE is a multiprocessor system for data acquisition and processing in nuclear physics applications. A large memory allows accumulation of megachannel histograms [1] . The system is built from VMEbus modules and interfaces CAMAC. MLLE is connected to a host computer under UNIX, where graphic representation and mathematical analysis can be done. On the MLLE a UNIX-like environment is established. The operating system DAMOS of MLLE allows dataflow controlled processing using about ten microprocessors operating in a non-hierarchica] mode.
