ABSTRACT:
A computer system which may allow a centerplaneless design. The computer system may include various client circuit boards including processor circuit boards, memory circuit boards and switch circuit boards. The processor circuit boards may each include at least one processor, while the memory circuit boards may each include memory which is accessible by each processor. The switch circuit boards may include a plurality of detachable connectors for interconnecting each of the processor circuit boards to each of the memory circuit boards. At least one of the switch circuit boards may convey redundant memory access information. Each of the boards may be hot swappable.
