PERFORMANCE AND POWER OPTIMIZED COMPUTER SYSTEM ARCHITECTURES AND METHODS LEVERAGING POWER OPTIMIZED TREE FABRIC INTERCONNECT

摘要

A performance and power optimized computer system architecture and method leveraging power optimized tree fabric interconnect are disclosed. One embodiment builds low power server clusters leveraging the fabric with tiled building blocks while another embodiment implements storage solutions or cooling solutions. Yet another embodiment uses the fabric to switch non-Ethernet packets, switch multiple protocols for network processors and other devices.
