ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a hierarchical crossbar inter-connection network for a cluster-based parallel processing computer. A crossbar network is composed of the "n" number of crossbar switches which is byte sliced, eight links for connecting eight nodes, and two links for connecting other clusters. In addition, one low-level cluster is formed by connecting a maximum of eight processing nodes between the two crossbar networks, and one high-level cluster is formed with a maximum of eight low-level clusters and the four crossbar networks. Moreover, one next high-level clusters formed with a maximum of eight high-level clusters and the eight crossbar networks for scalability.
