What is it about?
A change to the way computers share information permits a method for computers to collaborate without talking. Current computers have to synchronize their caches. This overhead is binomial and prohibitory past four. Collaborative caches do not require synchronization.

Why is it important?
Current technology permits the easy addition of memory and devices, but not of core processors. Having a design that permits core processors to be added to the main memory bus enables devices that contain their own core processor. Devices can be added that increase functionality yet reduce processor load.
Perspectives
This method works for an infinite number of processors because the software algorithm already works for an infinite number of tasks. It works on any multitasking computer. It runs current software with one new instruction solely required for performance.
