1. A computing apparatus comprising: a plurality of processor modules, each processor module including means for generating concurrent message packets; and an intercommunication network coupled to receive and transfer the message packets from and to the processor modules, comprising a plurality of interconnected active logic decision means each including at least means for granting priority based on data content between contending message packets received from the processor modules, the decision means also including means for transferring message packets to which priority has been granted and the network including means for coupling the decision means in a converging array such that all concurrent message packets from the processor modules are placed in contention during transfer through the network and final priority decision is made within the network so that a single or common message packet is transferred to the processor modules.
