The interprocess communication protocol system provides a generic communication system for communication between specified processes in a complex digital system. In accordance with the interprocess communication protocol, a group of pre-defined communication signals are defined, to which all communications between the processes conform. Interface hardware is disclosed to provide communication between processes. In addition, the communication protocol can be designed into the process as and integral portion of the processes.

[What is claimed is:] [1.]partitioning said system into a plurality of processes, each of the processes having a defined behavior and each of the processes having at least one control thread;defining separately from said processes a data communication protocol for communication between said processes;configuring data communication interfaces in the form of communication input ports and communication output ports for each of the processes, the communication ports forming memoryless communication channels and providing unidirectional, point-to-point connections between input ports of a first process and output ports of a second process, said input ports and said output ports being part of the associated processes, said processes implemented in C, Silage or VHDL language; andcombining the results of the steps of partitioning, defining and configuring to define specifications for said plurality of processes to form said system specification.
