1. A method for restoring one or more processors in an N module redundant (NMR) processing system, when said one or more processors are in an out-of-service state and the other processors are in an active state, said NMR system comprising N processors each having an individual memory system, an interconnection network configured to receive data from said processors; and means for returning said data received from said active state processors to all of said N processors via voting means connected between said interconnection network and said processors for receiving data from said interconnection network and voting on data to be received by said N processors, said method comprising the steps of: rerouting all writes of data from said active processors to said interconnection network; said interconnection network receiving said data and causing said data from each active processor to be delivered to said voting means; said voting means voting on said data received from each active processor and passing the voted-on data to all N processors; and all of said processors writing said data into their respective memory system, so that said memory systems of said one or more out-of-service processors is restored with data from said active processors.
