Technical Examples

An interconnection architecture allows a digital system to be sold with a switched or ring topology interconnection fabric that can evolve into a point-to-point interconnection fabric as the computer system is expanded, and is capable of supporting high and low end computer systems with a single design. In accordance with the present invention, unique point-to-point interconnections are provided between each pair of modules. In one embodiment, a functional unit is coupled to an adaptive 1-of-N switch, which in turn is coupled to the interconnection fabric to form a switched topology. In a second embodiment, modules are coupled to a full 3Ã—3 switch that fronts an adaptive 2-of-N switch. The second embodiment can be coupled into a ring or switched topology, and can be used to provide additional bandwidth and redundancy.
