Abstract

A device that includes a master boss and a slave boss. The slave boss is configured to iteratively send execute and output commands to a first plurality of nodes implemented by a node engine identified in a first boss table in response to receiving an execute command from the master boss. The master boss is configured to iteratively send execute and output commands to the slave boss and a second plurality of nodes implemented by the node engine identified in a second boss table. Each node is configured to receive a first correlithm object, fetch a second correlithm object based on the first correlithm object in response to receiving an execute command, and output the second correlithm object in response to receiving an output command.
