ABSTRACT:
A method and system for increasing flexibility, I/O accessibility, and reliability of multicore, multiprocessor architecture, a first input/output (I/O) controller and a second I/O controller are coupled by an I/O controller link card. The first I/O controller is coupled to at least one multicore processor. A plurality of primary I/O slots and a plurality of secondary I/O slots are respectively coupled to the first I/O controller and the second I/O controller. The I/O controller link card is removably insertable in adjacent slots spanning one of the primary I/O slots and one of the secondary I/O slots, thereby providing a flexible link to electrically couple the first I/O controller and the second I/O controller.
