ABSTRACT:
A generic network device for performing parallel or serial communications amongst multiple nodes over switching networks. An aspect is the adaptation of standard or proprietary serial interfaces using optical or electrical transmission to interface to the parallel switch. Converted serial data is routed to the selected destination through the parallel switch network. At the destination the data is converted back to a serial optical or electrical interface/protocol. Any number of different serial protocols can interface with the same parallel switch network allowing every node of the parallel system to send and receive messages in its native protocol. The switch enables generic networks forming a computer system with heterogeneous or homologous nodes.
